Firestorm #28 - DC


Now that we've gotten the Professor fixed up and back in the picture, Jason and he are looking for Gehenna. They're starting with where she was raised, in some kind of Govt. facility in rural Montana. While looking for her, they've come across some kind of mutant that creates this big gelatinous blob type creature around himself. We also get more glimpses into how the Firestorm matrix works. We get to see how the Professor and Jason interact inside his head. We also learn a little more about Jason's family. Last issue his mother showed up, I guess she abandoned them when he was little. So he has quite a few issues in this department. We also find out that the Firestorm that showed up to Lorraine last issue was actually Mikhail from the first series. Lorraine and he show up on Jason's roof, where he and the Professor are talking about his family problems. But, no sooner do they show up than they're attacked by a bunch of dollies, the creatures that were helping the guy that was holding the Professor hostage the last couple of issues. Therefore we're left not finding out to much more about Gehenna, Jason's family life is still up in the air, we don't know why Mikhail has returned, we still don't know what happened to Ronnie, and we don't know who's sending these dollies after them. Lots of plot lines up in the air. But that's ok. That's what I like about this book. It always drags you in, leaves you thinking and wanting more.
