I do believe his disembodied head was killed by Green Flame / Fire in a Checkmate issue.<BR/><BR/><I>"Anybody want to unpack the Titans Tower thing?"</I><BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure it's a reference to speculation that the Teen Titans would take revenge against the Rogues for killing Impulse / Kid Flash / Flash / Bart Allen, what with him having been a notable member of their team and Young Justice.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Libra preaching with the rock, he's doing a pretty blatant job describing Darkseid's skin of rock and blood-red eyes.<BR/><BR/>David Uzumeri makes a number of good points regarding the lack of coordination here between this book and current issues of the Flash, as well as the ret-con with the shit-kicking. I would guess that the Rogues look backwards with rogue-colored glasses (get it?).Squashuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665419613561138127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-73642421758674788242008-07-17T09:10:00.000-07:002008-07-17T09:10:00.000-07:00Has Computron been killed by Flame in Checkmate?Has Computron been killed by Flame in Checkmate?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626562466119379585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-54998319988736955112008-07-17T08:47:00.000-07:002008-07-17T08:47:00.000-07:00Dtko speacial = Ditko specialDtko speacial = Ditko specialraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603930950971861594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-26518388497259152492008-07-17T08:46:00.000-07:002008-07-17T08:46:00.000-07:00"Gambi" is Paul Gambi...Correct.

Inertia's explicitly promising them they could kill the Flash, they *know* his super-speed's gone when they zap him, and then after the zap they all run around him in a circle and group-shitkick him. Earlier on in FTFMA13, though, Hartley decks Inertia and talks about a "secret agenda", so...<BR/><BR/>Page 19: The Geordi LaForge-looking guy with the mysterious-looking villains is the new black Captain Cold from <EM>Gotham Underground</EM>, along with the new Rogues from that series, too. Here is, and I did not edit this page at all, their introduction:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=135&i=gu4p08kf3.jpg" REL="nofollow">Here</A><BR/><BR/>I imagine these guys will get their asses handed to them before this mini is over.<BR/><BR/>Page 20: I thought Dr. Light refused to buy coke from McCulloch?<BR/><BR/>Page 28: (WARNING, SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S FLASH #242) I guess this takes place after the current <EM>Flash</EM> arc, and that Iris makes it out at her younger age? Or maybe the continuity is wonky? Iris seemingly aged to death at the end of this week's issue.David Uzumerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273284254602286534noreply@blogger.com
