GREAT NEWS!!! The Flash really hasn’t been all that great with Waid this time, so I am glad to hear this. The Flash is where I first started enjoying Johns work.

There was a time when Flash’s adversarial relationship with his Rogues was tempered by a level of respect.
Back when writer Geoff Johns and penciler Scott Kolins worked on The Flash title together in 2001-2003, one of the strengths of their run was how well they defined the Rogues and their sometimes strict moral code. Sure, these guys were dirty crooks, but the band of colorfully costumed thieves had a type of structure, including an oft-spoken rule against killing speedsters.
That all changed when the Rogues killed a new, young Flash named Bart Allen in June 2007. Tricked by a young villainous speedster named Inertia, the Rogues broke their own rule against killing "capes." And over the course of the next year, they found themselves embroiled in conflict and banished as shown in Salvation Run, just as a more familiar Flash, Wally West, returned to his role as the scarlet speedster.
But a year after the death of Bart Allen - in June 2008, Johns and Kolins will reunite and return to the Flash and his Rogues gallery in a six-issue mini-series titled The Flash: Rogues Revenge. Starring Flash and the Rogues, led by their bossy old leader Captain Cold, the story will also involve a reformed Pied Piper (on the heels of his Countdown story) and a villainous Zoom with his own agenda.
And as Newsarama talked to the two creators about the story they’ll be telling in this new Flash comic, we found out this mini-series isn’t just an examination of the Rogues after their stint in Salvation Run, but it’s a precursor for big things to come in the Flash universe.
