I really enjoyed the new take on Lisa and Len's history.
I guess I don't see why DC needlessly changed it (I rarely like it when they change things for no reason), although ultimately it doesn't bother me that much. But I suppose it does change the dynamics of the family though, since previously their mother was being abused alongside them and repeatedly leaving and coming back. I'm mostly just cranky that there's yet ANOTHER version of continuity I have to memorize...sometimes I wonder how much of my brain power is being used to memorize Rogues continuity :>

Is the art by Scott Kolins? Axel looks so happy when Barry hands him the tablet! This has a Silver Age-y feel to it, partly because it really feels like a commercial more than an actual story :>
Yep, that's Kolins! It's funny because I first saw these pages as small thumbnails, and my brain's very-good-pattern-recognition system immediately recognized it as Rogues drawn by Kolins. And then moments later I wondered "Wait, why would Kolins have drawn the Rogues in a graphic novels catalogue?" Still wondering that, but it was fun :]
And yeah, I can definitely see the comparison to the Silver Age! My spouse noted it's a bit like a Twinkies/Hostess Fruit Pies ad, and that's very true. But somewhere in the multiverse I hope the Rogues really do steal valuable comics.

No wait I take that back I'm now more offended for Mick
With Mick I want to wait and see. I'm annoyed that he's still burned (although once it became clear that they weren't retconning New 52 continuity it was inevitable. Here's hoping he gets healed someday, though), but I hope that he's getting his old personality back. Nu Mick actually upset me more than any other Rogue, because he'd turned into a mean violent rage-monster....if he becomes more chill and a decent human being again I'll be mostly satisfied.
Even so, I'm troubled by Barry's suggestion that Mick wired the explosives to blow up their base, because that's not Mick at all.

I'm really overly pissed off about the ice skating thing... Like Williamson wants me to not like him.
Personally I'm happy about it, but it seems like Williamson may be going for a mix between her two gimmicks, perhaps to please both eras of fans. She seemingly skates and has some kind of meta power. We'll see what it's like next issue, I guess.

ahhh replicant. that creepy looking poor over powered bastard that never showed up again XD Oh Mark Waid lovely done
He did have a couple of cameos in Johns' run (here’s one of them), but yeah, it was a huge bummer that he mostly disappeared. I didn't find him very interesting as just a villain, but liked him as Tony Gambi as well as the dynamics of his relationship with the Rogues. Would have liked to have seen more of that.
