Gorilla City blues! All the Rogues wanted was a better life for themselves. But that's all over thanks to all their greed and backstabbing. Those still left alive are busted up with their backs against the wall, and Grodd's forces are closing in. With no heroes racing to save them, they must make a deadly deal with Gorilla Grodd to survive.
I'm so in awe of the weird and wonderful masterpiece that Rogues was able to be. Read Full Review
Williamson has taken these characters a long way, and I can't exactly say that this Cold feels like the one he wrote in his Flash run. But this works brilliantly as a villain-centric Black Label series, serving as both a final Rogues story and one of the best stories these villains have had in a long time. Read Full Review
Rogues #4 is packed with hard-hitting, sometimes-bloody action, and plenty of character-building for Leonard Snart, but the ending is simply sad and makes the whole mini-series feel pointless. Williamson did not stick the landing on this one. Read Full Review
I wasn't sure how this series would end up, especially considering how bland Williamson's Flash run was, but he and Leomacs managed to tell a compelling story with these characters, that is definitely worth the read.
Eventually the villains become more interesting than the hero. This series sums up a complex relationship between all of the Flash's best adversaries. For someone who started reading Flash starting with Showcase 4 I thought this was a worthy finale for all the Rogues.
Damn, I wasn't expecting to end on such a down note, but I like it.
That was brutal. Kinda sad but at the same time fitting ending but not as good as the rest in my opinion.
Staying true to the "nothing ever goes right" nature of noir stories, this ends pretty much like you would expect. Meaning it's all a bit predictable and depressing, and basically the lesson is "if someone says invade Gorilla City, don't."
