Rogues #1
| Writer | Joshua Williamson |
| Artist | Leomacs |
| Cover Price | $6.99 |
Ten years ago, the Rogues disbanded and went their separate ways. But time hasn't been kind to the former blue-collar super-criminals. Caught in an endless cycle of prison, rehab, dead-end jobs, broken relationships, probation, and endless restitution fees, the Rogues are sick of paying for their crimes. Luckily, Captain Cold has a plan. One last job that will leave them all richer than their wildest dreams and free from their past...if they can survive. This is the Rogues as you've never seen them before, reimagined by the incredible talents of master storytellers Leomacs (Basketful of Heads) and Joshua Williamson (Batman, The Flash, Infinit more

Kabooooom - Matt Morrison
Mar 22, 2022Rogues is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good story about bad people. Fans of The Flash will enjoy the story's focus on the villains, but true crime buffs will thrill at the concept. If nothing else, it should be encouraged as a supervillain study set outside of Gotham City. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Mar 22, 2022Joshua Williamson has had one of the longest runs on the Flash ever, and he was as well-known for his villains as for the titular hero. So when it was announced he was returning to the property for a Black Label series focusing on the Rogues, the response was very positive. It should have been, as these characters are perfectly suited for a pitch-black noir thriller exploring the grittier side of these workaday villains. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Mar 23, 2022Rogues #1 is a hell of a debut. It'll have you feeling empathy for Snart of the other Rogues and quickly go to disdain. It touches upon a glaring gap in so many comics that there's little when it comes to programs to help reform former villains to prevent them falling back into old habits. It also emphasizes the years wearing on us and our regrets. It's a fantastic start that has us excited to see what's next. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Jim Werner
Mar 22, 2022Rogues #1 was a good start to a book that feels like the recent Suicide Squad movie and Peacemaker show. It has honor and heart, and Joshua Williamson seems to be having as much fun writing it as I did reading it. I highly recommend it. Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2022If you're interested in a heist movie/story with the ROGUES at the helm, just come knocking at ROGUES #1's door. It appears to be a mix between a comedy romp and crime caper with your favorite FLASH villains rising up against their down and out life. Read Full Review

GWW - Brian Villar
Mar 22, 2022Overall, Rogues is a fun read, and a small real-life look into some of the many issues ex-convicts deal with trying to reacclimate with the real world. From the parole officer giving Snart grief just because to Bronze Tiger having to teach self-defense classes in a park because no one will rent a studio to him. Besides the overused one last score and misplaced panel, Rogues mixes comic book supervillains living with real-world issues perfectly. Issue two can not come soon enough as we want to find out what the last job will be. Read Full Review

Comic escrito por uno de los escritores estrella de DC comics en estos momentos:Joshua Williamson. Quien tiene buenos trabajos para DC y otros no tanto. Ilustrado por Leomacs quien nos deleita con su estilo tosco y muy simple pero hermoso. El color es puesto en marcha por Matheus Lopes, quien cumple con su estilo y el de Leomacs. Un comic que nos muestra un ultimo atraco de parte de un equipo retirado de exconvictos/super villanos. Sus vidas van a dar un giro bastante drástico debido a una propuesta. Con esto cerramos la primicia del comic, y ahora vamos a hablar con spoliers sobre el comic. Lo @#$@%#$% Necesitamos más información sobre este mundo, ¡pero ya! Lo Malo. En momentos el arte pierde consistencia y decae un poco. more

This was a really fun comic. A much more faithful future-storyline of some classic villains than some other garbage Black Label has put out. The first page with the pics on the wall at the bar was gold. Williamson is one of the few DC writers left that I can still read and enjoy. I liked the art but one honest critique is that the male characters looked appropriately older. The female characters, not so much. Golden Glider looked older in the flashback scene than in the future.

Williamson and Leomacs put together a really good start to a really solid premise that boils down to "what if Ocean's Eleven but with the Rogues?" The book spends a lot of time setting up the players and it really starts to sing once Williamson finds Snart's voice, showing him as a man that Central City not only has passed by, but actively laughs at. Snart's harassed by his probation officer, mocked by his bosses and bitter at the world. When he finally unleashes all that rage at the end of the issue, it somehow manages to come of as cathartic more than anything else. Leomacs art almost perfectly matches this tone too. Every Rogue has a layer of sadness hidden underneath that perfectly added to the tragicomedy on display. This was the f more
