The Flash, Vol. 2: Rogues Revolution by Francis Manapul

3.0

I enjoyed this, but the Rogues storyline want that appealing to me. Villains with stereotypical powers and silly costumes just didn't do it for me, even though the villains were given some attempt at a sympathetic backstory. I liked learning more about Barry's childhood, but I also feel like all the flashbacks in this volume were unnecessary, and made the storytelling more confusing/fractured instead of adding to it. Honestly, I'm not loving the New 52 Flash, but I'll probably keep coming back to it every once in a while just for the art.

P.S. The Planet of the Apes-like gorilla cliffhanger made me actually less likely to pick up the next trade...
