Jason was a dick.
Review for Fury of the Firestorm and I don't feel like writing the rest of the title.
The Story: A bunch of mercenaries want to find something relating to Dr.Stein and when they find Ronnie and Jason in high school when they become there respective Firestorm at the end.
The Good: We have a group of mercs going around being a very effective team by killing all targets we see Gail's writing of Secret Six shine trough because this group is very fun. Also Gail is trying to make Ronnie and Jason very distinctive and the page where we see the difference with there family was effective but there is one thing that bugged the hell out of me. It seems this genra for this book will be sci-fi, spy thriller and with all the Firestorms it might work. The designs are all very simple and effective and I like Fury's. The art by Cinar is very sleek and details everything very well.
The Bad: So Jason thinks Ronnie is a dumb racist dude because he doesn't like jocks. But Ronnie says thats bull because he treats his team like his brothers, now I know nothing about sports but I have watched my fair share of sport movies and I gotta say he has a point and his mom makes the point that sometime's it just happens that they don't have black friends. It,s funny that in Brightest Day Ronnie is the douche but now it's Jason. Also Jason's dad is an abusive like in the previous Firestorm series but it might come up.
The Verdict: This issue does a very good job at establishing who Ronnie and Jason are and reinventing where Firestorm comes from but from a forced racism subplot it drops a little for me. This is a buy.
