After the terrorist attack by the Firestorm from Qurac, Ronnie and Jason are left with an "Aftermeth of Rage." While Ronnie's reaction to the heinous act was well written, it's Jason who once again is rendered as a total jerk; it is not just the perceived indifference coming from him, but the words coming out of his mouth that also put the character in a really bad light.

The scale of the attack from last issue is huge, and even in the world of comics, such a thing would have had worldwide ramifications; so if the next issue does not address reactions across the DCnU, then Van Sciver and Simone may have taken these events a little too far. Yildiray Cinar continues shining with his artwork, and Norm Rapmund's inks and Hi-Fi's colors just make it even better. As a whole, the issue is better than previous installments, but the next one has its work cut out for it.
