Preview is up for Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #6

Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #6

DC Comics has a preview of Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #6, the conclusion of the miniseries.

The Rogues battle Gorilla Grodd, Parasite and a slew of the Crime Syndicate’s co-opted thugs in the ruins of the Gem Cities. The outcome doesn’t look good for the Rogues, but these blue-collar opportunists never back away from a fight! Look for FOREVER EVIL: ROGUES REBELLION #6, written by Brian Buccellato and illustrated by Scott Hepburn, this Wednesday.

The issue arrives in stores on Wednesday, along with Flash #29. A preview of Flash was released last Friday.

Hero Complex has a preview of Flash #29 by Brian Buccellato, with Agustin Padilla taking over for Patrick Zircher, due in stores next week.

It’s a mystery that may — or may not — answer the question of who really killed Barry Allen’s mother in the post-Flashpoint timeline.

Oh yeah, and there’s that Robot Chicken variant cover. They went with the Flashdance reference. Continue reading
