Flash: Rebirth artist Ethan Van Sciver’s latest Your Time is Now Mine column features, as promised last week, a sneak peek at the miniseries’ artwork.
Hmm, looks like Barry Allen visiting the Flash Museum in his secret identity.

Flash: Rebirth #1 of 6 ships in April 2009.
Newsarama has posted a 5-page preview of Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge #1, due in stores on Wednesday.
One of the best things about Geoff Johns’ run on The Flash was his handle on the Rogues. During his time on the book, he did five “Rogue Profile” issues, each with one of the villains as the viewpoint character. He’d get inside their heads, show how they thought, why they ran around with high-tech mirrors, or freeze guns, etc. When he left the book, I’d kind of hoped he’d drop in once a year or so to do another Rogue issue between the regular writers’ story arcs. Obviously, it didn’t happen
The preview pages show that Johns’ characterization is still spot-on, and the art by Scott Kolins shows a team of villains who have been through hell. (Actually, they have been through hell, but that was a while back, between Underworld Unleashed and “Hell to Pay.”)
(Thanks to Craig M.D. for pointing this one out.)
