Book III: The Heist! Captain Cold had a plan to steal from Gorilla Grodd. A plan that was going to make the Rogues rich and change their lives for the better. But now that plan has exploded, and Rogues blood is splattered all over Gorilla City. If the remaining members are going to survive, they need to think fast and work together. But a betrayal by one of the Rogues brings the heat to a whole new level! Continuing this groundbreaking neo-noir take on some of the DCU's greatest villains!
Come for the already-incredible plot, stay for some absolutely wild visuals, including one of the most clever character deaths I have ever seen. Read Full Review
DC has had quite an effective run lately doing villain and anti-hero books, and this one calls back to classic film noir and action thrillers. None of these people are good, but you can't help but feel for them at times as everything collapses around them. Read Full Review
Rogues #3 is an all-out, crazy, bank-heist-gone-wrong adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The dialog, plotting, and pacing are reminiscent of something out of a Michael Mann film, and the spiraling events get crazier with each page. Unfortunately, however, the sketchy linework is no match for the writing and is the only thing holding this comic back from achieving a top score. Read Full Review
Rogues #3 is a powerful payoff after a lot of build-up. For two issues, the tone has been dark but the rebuilding of the relationship between the Rogues was incredibly investing. Read Full Review
ROGUES #3 raises the level of intensity, develops the characters involved, and incorporates some unique story beats that will hook fans almost from the start. By far, this was the best issue in the series and did a fantastic job of seducing readers into reading the final issue. ROGUES #3 is graphic, powerful, and packs one heck of a punch. However, this isn't the issue to jump in on nor does Willaimson make it easy for fans to hop right in, which is ultimately the biggest knock of the comic. Read Full Review
The Rogues are often portrayed sympathetically, and that continues here to some degree, but they are a morally grey mixed bag here more than anything. I found myself cheering Snart on at first, but this issue is making me walk that back. This is a good thing, morally grey characters are interesting.
