Info on the Rogues - from Brian Booch

[xBarryxAllenx]

In an article on StashMyComics.com, Brian Buccellato made an interesting comment on the upcoming storylines...and for one of our members in particular I thought this would be important to note (italics, etc., are mine):

"Well, there’s going to be a story where you see all of them together but we’re not introducing them together just yet. So you’re going to get to see some of the Rogues. You will see The Top. You’ll see Weather Wizard. You’ll see the classic Rogues and you may see some Rogues you never met before. But in terms of when and where, I don’t want to get into details of that."

He goes on later to note that Gorilla Grodd WILL be in the series at some point in the future as well...here's the link to the full interview:

Like I said, change Turbine's name to the Top (after, say, his first story arc) and suddenly you have the Top. But obviously I'm hoping that's not the case.

A fellow who was at ECCC last weekend said he didn't think the Top was mentioned when Manapul listed the villains we'll be seeing over the next while. His opinion (and I hadn't said anything to him about my concerns regarding the Top-Turbine issue) was that Turbine will likely be replacing him.

As much as the Turbine character interests me, I would be VERY upset to see him replacing the Top.

Yeah, I'm really not happy about this. Part of it, I think, is that there's no reason he shouldn't/couldn't come back -- he does it all the time. So obviously when he doesn't return, it's because DC doesn't want him around for whatever reason, and that bums me out. Just as Wally fans feel, there's no real reason my favourite character can't be around.

I guess we'll see how things play out. I still keep hoping I'm misinterpreting the signals from Manapul and Buccellato.
