This was actually quite a touching story this issue. From the Mirror Master? Who knew? Anyways, it's actually set up from the perspective of Evan McCulloch's son. He's writing a story for his class about what it means to be a hero. He's talking about how it's all the little things that someone does for someone else, that makes them a hero in their eyes. Even when he finds out that his dad is the Mirror Master, the notorious villain, he still looks for a good deed in his actions. He's on TV, holding some people hostage, when in the melee a kid is threatened by a falling scaffold. Evan makes the leap to save him. This title is normally set up for the younger readers, but, this issue especially, I think, will be something they can relate to. He's not really talking about his dad, he villain. He's talking about his dad, the hero. His hero! I actually thought it was quite moving. But then I am a sap for the "father & son" theme. It gets me every time. It's a great book . . a great cast of characters . . and a fantastic imprint. Go Johnny DC! Go!
