SUMMARY:
Entitled “Firestorm: Rebirth,” DC Comics released this issue for April 2005. Startling the merged Jason Rusch & Lorraine Reilly is a revived Ronnie Raymond existing inside Firestorm’s matrix with them. Yet, their combined experience may not generate enough firepower to survive Killer Frost’s vastly enhanced powers. As three minds risk short-circuiting the matrix, Jason decides whether or not to risk resuming control of Firestorm from a confident Ronnie.
Mortal danger awaits Jason & Lorraine once they disengage as Firestorm. The question remains: why doesn’t Ronnie Raymond hasn’t joined them? More ominously is that Killer Frost’s menace could now be too much for Firestorm to overcome.
REVIEW:
Dan Jolley’s scripting and the art squad’s terrific visuals combine for a well-played read. Continuing the grudge match against a resurgent Killer Frost, Jolley’s plot twists smartly bait fans into seeking out Firestorm # 11. As a sequel to Firestorm’s original incarnation, Issue # 10 continues to deliver on its intriguing promise.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
Penned by a supposed ‘mole,’ the “DC in Demand” column includes thumbnail cover reveals for Justice League: Elite # 8; Superman: Strength # 2; DC Countdown # 1; and Firestorm # 11.
