This Week – Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #1 & Impulse vs White Lightning

Forever Evil Rogues Rebellion 1

The Rogues call no man boss, but a new evil threat might not leave them much choice! Will they fall in line, or refuse and risk certain death? The answer will tear the Rogues apart! Brian Buccellato, Patrick Zircher, Scott Hepburn. Preview at IGN.

Digital backissues: Impulse #80 wraps up the White Lightning story that’s been running through the last few issues, weaving from foreground to background and back, and Bart makes a decision about his future. To the best of my knowledge, it’s her final appearance. Todd Dezago, Carlo Barberi, Juan Vlasco.

Flash #24 Preview

DC unveiled two pages of art from Flash #24 at their New 52 panel in NYCC today. Not much else came out about the Flash at this panel, except that the Reverse-Flash’s actions are twisting time, making him “more monstrous.”

No word yet on the new creative team.

When asked about Wally West, Brian Buccellato assured fans that “When the time is right, Wally will return. Don’t applaud–I don’t know when that will be” — basically the usual “hang in there” response.

So in an sneak preview DC Collectibles announced not one but two new Flash figures coming soon to a comic shop and online retailer near you. The first figure will be a part of the Justice League: War line of figures based on the upcoming animated movie. You can definitely see the animated influence on this guy:

Three More Flash Issues by Brian Buccellato

8 Replies

In an extensive interview at CBR about the Manapul/Buccellato team’s new job on Detective Comics, Francis Manapul reveals that Brian Buccellato will be returning to write The Flash for three more issues after the Gage/Googe one-shot, from Flash #27-29. “Hopefully,” he says, “the idea is to wrap up some of the things we didn’t quite get around to during our run.” They didn’t say anything about who will be doing the art. It may not even have been decided yet.

This is starting to remind me of the end of the Waid/Augustyn run (which, oddly enough, is right where DC is currently at in their slow digital re-release). Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn finished up with Flash #159, the end of the Dark Flash saga, followed by several done-in-one issues by Pat McGreal…and one by Waid/Augustyn. Then DC brought on a little-known writer named Geoff Johns to do an arc while they looked for someone to take over the book long-term.
