While this is heavily tied in with the ‘Year of the Villain' arc, this manages to a good job of it and does so by properly focussing on the villains. Much of the story is told from Captain Cold's perspective as we see how his apparent victory changes him to the point that even the other Rogues become wary of how he is behaving. There's some examination of what makes the Rogues tick, and in particular, how they relate to one another and the Flash, although not all of it is as effective as it might be (I mean, is there really much new that's revealed about them?) Plus, the Flash's powers are out of control for much of the story forcing him to rely on some of his usual foes for support. There are some decent scenes here and there, perhaps an attempt at doing something with Golden Glider that doesn't (yet) go anywhere, and it's an entertaining ride that's a notch above much of Williamson's run so far.
