DC Comics has released four pages of preview art from the first issue of Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion. The miniseries will run alongside the main Forever Evil event. Brian Buccellato writes. Patrick Zircher and Scott Hepburn draw the first two issues, with Scott Hepburn taking over solo art duties in issue three.
I love the Rogues, and seeing Captain Cold making ice gauntlets to clobber chumps is awesome…
Still miffed he wasn’t in Injustice >.>
Well they needed gender diversity, so they went with Killer Frost who literally nobody gives a sh*t about. I remember reading comments complaining why they couldn’t have picked Cold or Freeze instead.
Yeah most people have to ask “who is that?” when they see Frost.
I wouldn’t have been happy with Freeze, since there are already what, six or seven bat characters in the game?
Flash and Aquaman didn’t get villains, so I feel like those two got the short end of the stick in terms of representation.
Hell yeah, Injustice needs Flash villains! Captain Cold would be awesome for all the reasons stated above, & seeing Grodd in the background just makes me think of how awesome it would be to go ape-crazy on an opponent, literally! Being able to use a combinarion of strength & psychic attacks. I think those two would have been perfect in-game, great looks & awesome powers, I can just imagine the killer moves they would have! And put Black Manta in there for Aquaman! His helmet alone is filled with all kinds of killer weapons. It’s an injustice, I tell ya! (no pun intended- well, maybe a lil’ bit..:-P)
I think Weather Wizard would’ve made for a very unique fighting experience.
Yeah I think he would have been a cool pick too, just for thematic diversity.
I think the new Reverse Flash has a cool power set that would work well, what with the blades and time reversal. We’ve even seen him grab people at a range with them and then make them explode, so there’s a cool move right there.
Haven’t read Forever Evil… how did Central City get destroyed? Or is that supposed to be the fallout from Grodd?
Still reeling from Grodd’s attack.
The rest of the Gorillas are helping to rebuild the city while Grodd is in the Speed Force.
Speaking of Central City- it- or the Flash Museum- should be an arena on Injustice! Can you imagine how cool it would be to fight in the Flash Museum, with stuff like the Cosmic Treadmill you could interact with in the background?
I was surprised not to get a Flash museum, but I guess they really only made arenas that were going to be used in the story and I can see how it wasn’t important for the plot so I’ll let that slide.
But yeah, Flash museum would have been amazing, and could have had interactables that use the rogues weapons from display cases.
Yeah you’re probably right. Though the Flash Museum could have been worked in along with the Cosmic Treadmill for the alternate timeline scenario. Shoot yeah, I can totally see the characters being able to grab the Rogues’ weapons if there were a Flash Museum stage, like freezing someone with Captain Cold’s Cold Gun or frying them with Heat Wave’s gun- that’d be friggin’ awesome! There were things I was actually pleasently surprised to see in-game though, like some of the JSA’s costumes in th e Hall of Justice- I was really surprised considering DC retconning the JSA out of everything else. Seeing Wildcat’s costume made me wish you could play as him & box the crap outta people!
Oh yeah! I forgot the treadmill was part of the plot! I stand corrected, the Flash museum would have worked nicely then, and I guess it was just a budgetary issue. Their environment artists go the distance on those stages!
Yeah I don’t really like most of the new 52 JSA stuff, and I’m totally with you: I want to play Wildcat (but too C list to ever make it)
I made a move list of my dream Marvel vs DC game, with the characters I wanted rather than ones I would expect and you bet Wildcat was on my roster! Moves were all about ducking and weaving!
