As part of a weeklong look at the upcoming New 52 Annuals, DC Comics’ Source blog has a new post up with some new information on the upcoming Flash Annual #1, by Francis Manapul, Brian Buccellato and a cast of artists working from Manapul’s layouts. From Brian Buccellato:
“We couldn’t be happier with the collection of talent we assembled to work from Francis’ layouts. Broken up into chapters, on art duties we have Marcus To, Diogenes Neves, Marcio Takara, Wes Craig, and FLASH legend Scott Kolins! We just had to offer Scott the Rogues ‘flashback chapter,’ and were delighted that he accepted. His take on ‘The Old Rogues’ is new and fresh, yet pays homage to the gang’s history. It might sound clichéd, but it’s truly everything we hoped for and more.”
In the post, Buccellato also promises that the Annual will deliver the first Rogues team-up of the New 52 Flash series, as well as the much-anticipated tale of their journey from “…the old ‘gun-toting’ Rogues that everyone remembers from previous continuity, and the new meta-powered incarnations. In the Annual, we finally reveal HOW the Rogues got their super powers and at what cost.”
Check it out at The Source! Flash Annual #1 is in stores August 29.
Alright….does Weather Wizard use a wand or not?!?!?
He did in his “spotlight” issue, but that was somewhat unclear on whether he had powers or not.
He has powers, but he also seems to use a lightning rod for extra control.
i’m pretty excited to see what’s up with mccullouch
Kolins is doing art???? This may be my first issue of New 52 Flash!
That is a brilliant idea to have him do the flash-back sequences.
Look forward to seeing the artwork on this!
After reading #12, I’m hyped to read this now. This showdown should be terrific as well as finally learning what happened to the Rogues and why.
