The latest on Rogues' Revenge

[thalyamuse]

@ Newsarama

My thoughts? There's the Anti-Life Equation, and then there's:

Libra's SSoSV + Crime Bible's emphasis on Cain and the first murder weapon + Weather Wizard's dark secret + Lightning striking the killing blow for Bart Allen (per Salvation Run and Countdown) = one seriously Wild Card Rogue (and possible Rogue Profile?)

I say that Cold will play a huge role (obvious) and we will definetely see a lot of Mark.
Also we will have semi-crazy Piper talking to his rats a lot.

I meant to ask this already in the last post, but Warden Wolfe - who is supposed to make an appearence - he died.

Wiki says it and well...continuity?
or did he survive barely?

[ninjacandy]

I read that though it says he died (Warden Wolfe) his death was ambigious so you would think he died but if he came back and gave a long explanation as to why you'd react with "oooohhhhh...that makes sense!"

[liabrown]

I guess we take it that he lived. Not unless it's a zombie plotline...

[runenklinge]

...either they forgot he died (it was in an Outsider-Annula after all), maybe he appears in a flashback (if that also counts as appearing) ...and I was suspecting that he is not quite human (red-black eyes, come on)

[liabrown]

I don't know what to think, personally. I guess I'll leave speculation to others.

Something about Kolins' current art style bothers me, though. Can't put my finger on it.

[carine_karen]

Same here.

I don't like the old-looking Cold,
and other certain things...

[ninjacandy]

Yeah,the whole old-looking Cold thing bothers me too.

I think it bothers most Rogue-fans to some extent.

I mean Cold isn't so old he'd have a cat's bum for a mouth.

[liabrown]

Oh dear, I'm afraid that "cat's bum" comment made me do a spit-take ;D

Addendum

[liabrown]

Pointless things I just noticed: on that RR#1 Cold cover, why does he seem to be wielding a hairdryer? :] Also, in the page with the Rogues hanging out and Cold drinking the beer, that's quite the sultry expression Wizard's sporting ;P

Even villians must take care of their hair.

So why should we expect anything less from Cold?

Re: Addendum

[liabrown]

But a hairdryer produces heat! That's the opposite of his schtick! It would be madness!!

Re: Addendum

[ninjacandy]

Well how else can he expected to control and shape the hairs on his head? I doubt he'd trust Heatwave to help him dry his hair and using a hairdryer means that he can get out of his house quicker, fight the Flash and not worry about catching a cold.

A hairdryer does go against his schtick but he probably looked at the pros and cons.

Pros: quickly dried hair, shaped and soft! Perfect hair to fight the Flash.
Cons: It's hot.
