Graphic Novels review: Flash Vol.2 Rogue's Revolution + Claws II



Flash Vol II Rogue's Revolution:
Written by: Brian Buccelato
Art by: Francis Manapul
On a quest to repair the time stream, the Flash finds himself lost within Gorilla Grood's homestead. Where a leader must prove themselves by defending their people versus enemies and intruders. Only one problem, Grood actually remembers Flash (from way back, er Blackest Day/ Brightest Night). The two made a deal, somehow fate ties the two together, but oddly enough Grood's people support the Flash because he is heralded as a savior. **but you know Grood's not going to agree anyway

On the other end, the rogues have had their ups and downs, Captain Cold and his band of merry villains once were a team. But that was years ago, things changed, his sister was hurt and is in a coma. Oh, and Flash/Barry hangs out at the villains bar just to get work. (you're not gonna believe was happens next)
Well written, and gorgeous artwork, this is a chapter of the speedster you won't wanna miss.


Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws II
Written by Jimmy Palmotti & Justin Gray
Art by: Joseph Michael Linsner

Speaking of two fun characters, they're adventures are never done. With Arcade and Bunny in the Savage Land, nothing can go wrong. Right? Until a hapless female alien loses a fragment piece of time (in a ball that resembles a magic 8 ball, completely made of metal). Oh, and for those keeping score, yeah that happens too (you know, the "wild thing") No wait, not that, the amazing duo also winds up in the future. Meeting a hero of the future. Killraven (who dons classic gear) and leads his people to freedom.

But the future is not pretty, evil aliens have taken over, friends have been captive. Only they can save the? Time travel is complicated, but these two have got your back.

**Bonus issue included, the origin behind Killraven (written and illustrated by Linsner)
This is an excellent mini-series, the art and story just work well together. Plus who wouldn't want Wolverine and Black Cat to team up (and get in trouble!?)
