THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE!
Aeric, Malcolm and Jacob enter the final lap of Geoff Johns’ THE FLASH! But this week, it’s time for the Rogues to reign!

They were betrayed, they were abducted, and worst of all… they were forced to break their number one rule: No Killing Speedsters. And at the center of it all? Thaddeus Thawne aka Inertia. Now, before the Rogues hang it up and leave their careers of crime behind them, they are determined to find Inertia… and break their rule one last time.
