The Flash, Vol. 2: Rogues Revolution by Francis Manapul
4.0
It’s been awhile since I read the first volume of this run, but this second volume was very good which is a surprise as so much of the New 52 is terrible. This story went really well.
We start out with the Kingdom of Apes and Grodd which was pretty stupid really and then we get back to Central City (it’s a hard cut and not a real transition) and the city has changed and the Flash is harassed now. He goes undercover and finds his way to a villains bar. We are introduced to the Rogues. I have to say that they are entertaining and decent villains. I had fun with this and I thought it was a good story. I’m actually excited to read the next one. I have to get it quick before the library gets rid of it. The first of the year, they ax a whole lot of old titles. It’s pretty brutal.
Barry is fast as ever and fun here. The last chapter seemed to be left on a stupid cliff hanger with Grodd again which doesn’t please me. We also get some weird flashback to Barry’s dad that I didn’t think was really needed, but if the Rogues stay around, then I’m excited for more. This worked really well.
