Firestorm #2

We learn more about how teenager Jason Rusch gained the powers of Firestorm. We also discover that once again, Firestorm is the merging of two people, except that this time, the combination may not be so benign. It is a too bad that they couldn't tell this story in a more exciting manner. The writer shows us once more what a nice guy Jason is and how bad his life has become. Sure, we feel sorry for him but it simply isn't gripping. The only menace in the entire story is a minor ganglord with a knife. Is that it? At this point in his career, the previous Firestorm was duking it out with Multiplex and meeting Superman. These slow-paced stories with their minor revelations every issue simply don't suit a book about such a striking character with such fantastic powers. Good thing that ChrisCross and Green produce some exciting visuals that almost make up for the slow story. Repeat: "almost."
