This being one of my favorite books, I was a bit upset when it went on a short hiatus. But, it's back now, and with a new creative team. We got Dwayne McDuffie on scripts, and Dan Jurgens and Ken Lashley on the pencils. The only bad part is that Ken is one of those guys who doesn't stick around with a book. So I'm guessing he'll probably only be here for about 6 to 8 issues. If we're lucky. I don't even think he made it that long on the flash. But we have another insurgence of Apocalyptic characters in this issue. See the Hawkgirl review for the other instance. Apparently Prof. Stein has published some of his work, actually his and Jason's work, since they figured out the Firestorm matrix together. But this work is very close to the work that would be needed to figure out the Anti-Life Equation. So of course Orion, and the Female Furies, show up to try to take it from the Professor. We end the issue with Gehenna and Firehawk ready to take on the Furies, to defend their friends. At least we get to see Jason in action this issue. He's becoming more adept at the use of his powers. And we actually got a mention of Ronny this issue too. We still don't know where he's at , or what's happened to him, but hey, at least he hasn't been forgotten. I'm glad to see the books back on track, and I can't wait to see where all this Darkseid stuff is going.
