Red Tornado #4 - DC

This issue the 4 siblings finally come face to face . . Red Tornado (air), Red Torpedo (water), Red Volcano (Earth), and their newest and youngest member Red Inferno (fire). It appears that this whole debacle is because there's something under Yuma Airbase the Red Volcano wants. Red Tornado doesn't know what it is, and Red Volcano isn't talking. In order to even the odds, when Red Tornado created the event that activated Red Inferno's powers, he also decimated the entire neighborhood where his parents live . . which he blamed on Red Tornado and Red Torpedo. So, while he's newly activated, he's also mad as hell . . which Red Volcano can use because he aims Red Inferno straight at the other 2. Red Tornado takes on Red Volcano, while Red Torpedo takes on the upstart, Red Inferno. She tries to get through to him . . to tell him that he's being lied to, but he's not listening. At least not yet. Hopefully Red Volcano will do something to screw up his story. My only question is, since these 4 were all created by the same person . . TO Morrow . . why is there no connectivity or teamwork between them? At the very least they should be interesting in learning about each other . . they've only recently found themselves part of a family. So why couldn't Red Volcano just come and ask these guys for help? Why does he have to be so head-strong and angry? Well . . there's 2 more issues to answer all my questions. Kevin VanHook is writing this book, and Jose Luis is doing the art. This issue's cover was by Joe Prado. I really like Jose's work. It's got an Ed Benes type style to it. The guys definitely got potential. Anyways, next issue is titled Brotherly Hate, so . . I imagine there will be much more fighting.
