At last, we get a Rogue spotlight; the highlight of Geoff Johns’ previous run on The Flash makes a return as we delve into the origins of Digger Harkness, the original Captain Boomerang. The majority of the issue is told in flashbacks, with the present day showing his infiltration of Iron Heights Prison to confront Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash, and learn of his true purpose following the Brightest Day resurrections. It’s great stuff and Johns clearly has a big plan for the Rogues, particularly Boomerang and Professor Zoom. The art is by Scott Kolins this month, the primary artist from Johns’ previous run; it’s more in-line with Francis Manapul’s style of art this time around, but that’s more down to Kolins’ change in art style. It’s not bad at all, but it’s different if you go in expecting old school Scott Kolins art. Regardless, the Flash is clearly going to become a book you need to be reading in the run-up to Flashpoint in 2011; this is the same quality we were getting from the Green Lantern books pre-Blackest Night. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take a dramatic drop after the event, like the GL books have done.
