Firestorm #29 - DC


Ok we start out this issue where we ended last issue, battling the "dollies" on a rooftop in NYC. We're developing quite a cast of characters here also. Of course we have Jason and Lorraine, Firestorm and Firehawk. But now we also have Prof. Stein, Pozhar, Gehenna and Jason's father and mother. And we still don't know what happened to Ronnie. He could still be floating around out there somewhere. Anyways, with Pozhar's and Lorraine's help, Jason takes down the "dollies". Well, maybe not so much take them down, as force them to retreat. They catch one that they try to interrogate, but it gets away before they get any information. So they still don't know who sent them. But they do say something that sounds familiar to Jason, "Two men into one". So he thinks that it's the Pionic man. After a brief encounter with his dad, Jason finally makes it to STAR labs where they have a new containment suit which they release the Pionic man into. We then see, in orbit, a huge "dollie" that someone is building. And, we get a flash of a nameplate that says Hewitt Industries. I've said it before, but I really like this book. Stuart Moore and Jamal Igle are doing a fantastic job with this one. They've got a good handle on the characters and they seem to have developed a lot of storylines that are beginning to flow like a river underneath. I don't think we've seen the best from these guys yet.
