The Flash # 23.3: The Rogues # 1 3D Lenticular Motion Cover 2013 NM

The Flash #23.3: The Rogues #1 (2013) is a special tie-in issue titled "All For One". Released in September 2013, this book was part of DC Comics' company-wide "Villains Month" event during The New 52 relaunch. Rather than focusing on a single antagonist, this standalone issue highlights Central City's famous blue-collar villain alliance, The Rogues, exploring their internal dynamics and explaining how they navigate the apocalyptic events of the Forever Evil crossover.

Key Storyline Points

• A Divided Team: The issue opens with the team fractured and suffering from recent failures. Mirror Master is trapped in the Mirror Universe, Glider is stuck in a coma, and Trickster is locked away in Iron Heights. The remaining team members blame Captain Cold for their current misfortunes.
• The Iron Heights Heist: Flashing back to days before the crossover, the narrative shows the team planning a high-stakes robbery beneath Keystone City using abandoned gem mines. Back in the present, they utilize these precise mining tunnels to stage a prison break, successfully liberating the Trickster from his cell.
• The Crime Syndicate's Ultimatum: The narrative directly intersects with the events of Forever Evil #1. The Rogues travel to Happy Harbor to witness the speech delivered by the interdimensional conquerors, the Crime Syndicate.
• Defying the New Order: While the Syndicate demands that all villains unite under their tyrannical banner, the culture clash becomes evident. Operating under their strict "Rogues Code" (which forbids senseless murder), the team rejects the Syndicate's bloodthirsty vision, setting them on a dangerous path of open rebellion.
