Another great issue from Zoom. A lot of parts were cut from the backup because it is going to be the main focus in the next two-issue arc. Zoom and I will be collaborating on an epic Flash tale filled with high-octane speed and heroism. If any of you have seen the movie Crank, it's going to be much of the same non-stop action (minus the sex scene of course ) I just have to say that this one stunning piece of art. Craig, on behalf of the Flash Department (which is non-existent but you can still join if you would like), welcome to the DC2.

This book should rally be renamed "Rogues" because of the focus you give to the villains! It's a testament to your powers as writers (yes, both of you!) that makes me not care that we only get the odd peak in on what's happening with Barry! Can't wait for next issue!

Thank you, but the real credit has to be given to Zoom. He gets into the Rogues' minds so well it scares me sometimes. The reason why we are focusing more on the Rogues right now is because a hero is only has great as his villains and the Flash's Rogues were always a fearsome bunch. We just made them a force to be reckoned with. Mota will appear sporadically in future issues, but he will fully take the path of hero or villain near the end of Rogue State 2.

Amazing cover.
I think Golden Glider is manipulating more than slightly here.
And the Top, who knows what he will do?

Well, Golden Glider's story continues after the upcoming Crash & Burn arc finishes in April. The Top is rapidly becoming one of the most dangerous and unpredicatble villains the Flash has ever faced.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad people are liking the cover! But that COLORING is the best part, IMO. WOW, was I amazed at that!
Plus it was a fun story. Those Rogues are interesting characters!

Thanks for reading. Barry is too nice a guy to refuse help from anybody. He may be a bit too proud to ask but it doesn't mean he wouldn't take it.

Great cover. Liked the first story, especially the Top's dialogue, although the bit about Batman giving out cash didn't quite work for me. Also, not being a regular reader, I have to say that I didn't have a clue what was going in the second story.

Good issue, but I can't believe you guys killed off Captain Cold. Friggin' Captain Cold!

She got trapped in a thermafrost chamber, and became a psychotic killer...a Killer Frost: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_FrostGod, I love being a geek. ;D

Killer frost already exists in the DC2 though, and has been and will be again a member of Suicide Squad......

Captain Cold's death was necessary for a major reveal in the final part of the Rogue State duology (that is what you call a two-parter right?). All will be revealed later in upcoming issues.

Loved the opening scene with the Top. A Rogue questioning what he could've been in life? Good stuff. Seeing what happened later on...a little rough on the poor Top don't you think?
The funeral for a rogue...I mean friend was interesting. Their plans afterward, interesting as well.
The scene with Barry and Bruce didn't really bother me all that much. It is seldom we see Batman using Bruce's money in that way. It was cool. Barry doesn't make much money as a cop so giving him a little to start a family makes sense.
Loved the scenes with the Dibnys! Also the explanation to Captain Colds gun was excellent, well thought out, and damn clever I might add!
A like a clever woman. And the Golden Glider is clever in deed.
Now the ending was great! Using John Fox and bring in Abra Kadabra was just awesome! But he was on the cover so...
Overall I am liking where all the chaos is going! Good job!
And enough can't be said about Craig's debut cover! Awesome!
The back-up was interesting as well which leads to other things down the road from what I gather.
Overall I am liking where all the chaos is going even it it is fast and all over the place at times. My only complaint is that there is too much story. Its like you want to try and tell every cool Flash story all at once with no regards to pacing or the future. Of course I could be wrong and there is a lot more to come. But again is there any one left for the Flash to fight after this or will it all be repeats?
I still enjoyed it. Good job!
