Brightest Day #17 Post-Game Report

We may have only had four pages of Firestorm in Brightest Day #17, but they were really good pages!

Warning, the following contains SPOILERS for Brightest Day #17.

What struck me the most about these four pages was Ronnie and Jason getting along.  That’s refreshing to see and it gives me hope for their ongoing adventures once Brightest Day is over.

While it consumed half of the Firestorm content in the issue, this two-page spread by Scott Clark and Dave Beaty was phenomenal!

Firestorm in Brightest Day #17

It was nice to see Ronnie recalling his Crisis on Infinite Earths experience with Shadow Demons and Qward.  It may seem odd, but I was thrilled the editor didn’t choose to insert a footnote referring to Crisis.  I prefer to just accept that Ronnie has the knowledge.

Brightest Day #18 ships on January 19, the same day as Green Lantern Corps #56.  We know Firestorm guest-stars in that issue of Green Lantern Corps (GLC), but I’m not sure which issue of Brightest Day leads directly into the GLC issue.  So we may get some more Firestorm action in Brightest Day #18, or perhaps what we saw in this issue leads directly into the GLC issue.  I guess we’ll find out on January 19!  Here is the description for GLC #56:

The Sinestro Corps battles the Weaponer as the Green Lantern Corps finds itself caught in the middle of the mayhem! Will the GLC shatter its truce with the yellow fear masters to protect innocent Qwardians? Has the Weaponer brought doom upon his world? And what role does Firestorm play in this BRIGHTEST DAY tie-in?

    I’d think that BD #17 leads directly into GLC #56, as the Corps is already on Qward, and we last saw Firestorm heading into orbit. I don’t see what else they could squeeze in between the two in BD #18.
