gorogues:Spoilers for the Rogues Black Label series!Here are a few miscellaneous preview pages that have been posted online which are not part of the official preview (if that makes any sense). I was going to include them with the interview post because it seems that the top page may give us our first look at the AU’s current-day Mick, Mirror Master, and Trickster, but Tumblr would shrink down any embedded image too much.Based on the interview, I think the top page features Mick (bearded guy with a burn), Sam or Evan (shy guy in the ballcap), probably Axel (the guy in the fancy suit), and that’s likely Bronze Tiger in the tiger-striped suit. Lisa and Len are obvious and have already been seen, of course. Evan would make more sense than Sam because the interview mentions him in rehab, but the guy in the ballcap doesn’t speak like a stereotyped Scotsman so he may actually be Sam. I’m only guessing the guy in the suit is Axel because of his “that’s real funny” comment, and honestly he could be anyone…he looks more like Mark, but the interview doesn’t mention Mark, so who knows.Love Lisa’s facepalm in the first panel!@theworrierqueen I have so many thoughts about this series. Here they are, in no particular order: 1) Old Man Len makes me a little sad. Not because he’s old, but because of how much his life apparently sucks. (And also because he looks like he might die if you looked at him funny.) 2) If any character in this gets a happy ending, I hope it’s Lisa. And I really hope they don’t kill her off early to give Len angst. That would be VERY annoying. 3) Are Mark and Digger going to be a part of this heist? I assumed that they would be, but it’s hard to tell for sure from the interviews and pages we’ve seen so far. I hope they are. 4) Is the Trickster in this going to be Axel or James? Whichever one it is, I’m just hoping that they aren’t presented as the amalgam Axel/James that we sometimes get. 5) Similarly, is this Sam or Evan? Like you mentioned, the rehab thing sure makes it sound like it should be Evan, but I too operate under the assumption that a lack of a stereotyped Scottish accent means that the Mirror Master in question is Sam (e.g., I assume that the Mirror Master in “Flash and Substance” is Sam because he’s not Scottish). If ballcap guy is the Mirror Master, I can’t tell from looking at him which one it is. I really hope it’s Evan, though, because if not, this seems like it’ll probably serve as a continuation of the trend of amalgamating Sam and Evan into one character. (I’m tentatively calling this annoying hybrid character “Smevan”.)6) Mick having hair is weird. Him having a beard is even weirder.7) How much older is Len supposed to be than the rest of the team? From the pictures, he looks like he’s at least twenty years older than all of them. I know Len usually seems to age really badly, but still. Yikes. 8) Suit guy in the panels above really does look like Mark, especially since his hair looks black. That might be due to the lighting, but if it’s not and that is the Trickster…is Axel or James going through an emo phase or something? 9) Len’s boss is an idiot. “Let’s badmouth the ex-supervillain behind his back! That way, if he ever finds out and gets mad, he can murder us!” I know he’s gotten old in this comic, but that still seems really, really dumb. 10) So, who do we think the traitor might be? If Captain Boomerang is on the team, I’d put my money on him, and if the Trickster in this series is James, there’s at least a small chance that it could be him. It’s also occurred to me that it would be an interesting twist if Len himself was the traitor. The interview did say that he was going to do something in issue #3 that would make the readers really hate him, and it would be an interesting twist to have that be the case. 11) I’m glad Magenta’s going to get some focus in this story. She’s mostly been underutilized for a while. 12) I really hope the Top will be in this series, but sadly I doubt that will happen.13) Why Bronze Tiger? I like him from what little I know about him, but he seems really out of place here. It’d be like if there was a series about Batman’s villains and for some reason Weather Wizard was one of the main characters. I also hope, much like you, that they don’t make him a flat-out villain here. Maybe HE’S the traitor, but instead of selling them out to Grodd, he’s trying to bring the Rogues into custody? 14) I’m happy to see Rainbow Raider, even if it doesn’t look like he’ll play a major role. 15) The Grodd variant covers are amazing. I especially love the one that homages Action Comics #1. -- source link
