4.0

'Flash Vol. 3: Rogues Reloaded' by Joshua Williamson collects The Flash issues 14-20. The first part is a Rogues character arc, then there are some other stories.

The Rogues on their own were never much of a threat to Central City and The Flash. When they teamed up, they were more of a problem. Now they have disappeared and Flash wonders where they've gone. What he finds out becomes a threat to the city.

In the backup stories, Wally West is looking for his father and that leads him and Barry to Belle Reve prison. Iris is investigating the aftermath of the Speed Force storm. In both stories, Barry's secret identity is on tenuous ground with the two people he is closest to.

The three stories are all pretty good, but the Rogues one was the best. There are 5 different artists over the span of these issues, and the quality feels pretty consistent.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The Rogues make themselves known again, for one last heist before riding off into the sunset. They get more vicious than I've ever seen before and the conclusion is great.

The cliffhanger at the end of the trade is pretty good.

Williamson is great at what I like about Flash comics, there's crime solving and adventure, and it can certainly get a little dark, but Barry's optimism and charm always brightens up the stories.

Solid Flash collection with an engaging storyline and a great twist at the end. I’m liking how the story is developing across the collections.

the rogues are here and are up to no good... not really a surprise.

I love the art by Carmine di Giandomenico, I always love his work on flash and the story is pretty good and its something id love to see in the flash tv show, a rogues team up since we've never seen it before in the show.

overall pretty good book.

You can't tell a Flash story without the Rogues. It largely playing off the reboot, but it is a somewhat satisfying story and a good reintroduction of classic characters.

I liked this one better than volume 2. Hopefully, it will get even better with volume 4.

Rogues Reloaded | 4/5 |: The Rogues are ready to strike once again as they prepare a trap for Flash, after previous arcs, Cap Cold will create a new weapon to kill Flash, will he make it?


Sins of the Father | 3/5 |: Who's Kid Flash's father? In this brief arc, Wally wants to meet his father after being told who he is, as he looks forward, he's been moved to Belle Reve, he's been sent to a mission with the "suicide squad". What happened with him?


Agent of Blackhole | 3/5 |: Bodies from the accident at the Speed force training center has been missing, someone took them for what? The cliffhanger in this issue is the best one of all the volumes.

The Flash's rogue gallery and his relationship with them has interested me ever since I started reading up on the character. They're in it for the score and make it a code to never kill. Then, sometimes, when Central City is under attack by, say, an army of gorillas, they don't hesitate to defend their turf and help the Flash. The first story in this volume plays around with the idea and really analyzes the rogues and what they stand for, bringing to the surface Joshua Williamson's talent for writing The Flash.
