BOOM. 5
The Good: I like what Aqualad's significance is. It makes sense, it explains a lot, and it's pretty cool. And of course it sets up Aquawar well. The scene with Deathstorm toying with Alvin is a very powerful scene. Deathstorm is a really twisted SOB and I absolutely hate him (in a good way) for being so deliciously evil. Aqualad's costume is cool. I'm glad the whole fact that Aquaman can only summon undead fish for now is still observed. Although I wonder why he's still not done his mission. I ...

If Only Every Issue Could Be More Like This 0
After a few less than spectacular issues, Brightest Day finds its stride again as it returns to the stories of Aquaman and Firestorm. Aquaman's story really has proven to be the saving grace of Brightest Day. It is easily the strongest of the stories being told and hasn't yet taken a serious misstep in the course of the series so far. The plot of Martian Manhunter's story has skidded to a halt as it has been spinning its wheels lately waiting for... something. The Hawks haven't been able to sa...

Because Seals Can't Even Cry :'( 0
Big Bangs and dolphin tears... The Good First of all I've got to say that the highlight of this book were the interactions between Deathstorm, Prof. Stein, and Alvin Rusch. Deathstorm's a sadistic bastard and makes himself into a villain you'll love to hate. The joy he gets from psychologically toying with them is palpable. He uses Alvin Rusch's guilt of being an absentee father superbly to torment him. Deathstorm really shines when he describes gruesome ways in which he wishes to torture Fires...

Earth and Water (and raging fire) 1
First of all, let me start pointing out that I´ve been following Brightest Day since issue # 0, and despite some bumps (like the Return of the Black Lanterns and some dull stories involving Deadman), this has been quite a fantastic arc story, specially the parts about Jonn, Hawkman and Aquaman. This issue (following the events showed in issues #s 10 and 11) focus more about Aquaman and Firestorm. The whole thing behind Firestorm seems to be big to this plot, but I can´t just get into the mood of...

Meh 0
Scans and summary are hereThe Good Art as always was top notch; both the cover and interiors are gorgeous. The Story: I’m really intrigued by what’s happening with Firestorm and Aqualad. In this issue we get the origin of Aqualad and his powers and we learn the fate of his mother. We also get a nice parallel between Aquaman and him. Their histories and how they came into their power is also similar enough for them to have an understandable connection. The firestorm situation continues to w...

Brightest Day #16 0
SummaryAquaman and the new Aqualad go to reclaim Jackson’s birthright; meanwhile the greatest minds of the JLA and JSA try to find a way to stop Firestorm destroying the universe. Also, Deathstorm gives Jason’s father a chance to save his son, but it comes with a price.What I liked· Aqualad’s origin: Most of the plot holes are filled-in and I can now accept him as a proper superhero, with enough of a back-story to be interesting.· Jason’s Father: There is a really cool scene in this issue where ...
