Dark can be kind of awesome sometimes

Final Crisis: Rogues' Revenge - Geoff Johns, Scott Kolins

This starts in a dark place and only continues down that road - and I admit I do kind of love it.

 

In the events of Final Crisis, someone used the Rogues and made them break the one rule they're never supposed to break. A Speedster is dead, the whole system is falling apart for the Rogues, and they decide to pull one last job before disbanding.

 

They're on the warpath and not even Flash is going to be able to stop them.

 

In the end, there's not a lot *too* this book. They even had to pad out the book with a story about Captain Cold (that was really good) and one about the new Professor Zoom (which was not, since it's a retread of something not too far back in this run). But what's there is grim in the good way - people doing what they perceive as the only thing they can do, happy for it to be the last thing they do if it comes to that, because there are scales in need of balancing. That it's villains who are doing that doesn't take anything away from the story and I love it.
