(excerpt)
The artwork was actually fairly slick on
this issue, despite the guest penciller brought in to draw the meat of
this issue. Igle only drew the opening sequence, supposedly to keep the
next few issues of this title on schedule. Igle was able to give the
opening sequence and old school feel. It looked like an sequence from
the previous volumes of Firestorm, just with slicker inks. Eddy Barrows
did a nice job filling in. He used Igle's character designs, so there
is nothing really groundbreaking there. A big highlight of this issue
was the way Jason's dad handled the news of Jason's death. From a
visual standpoint, it's handled in a tasteful manner that still manages
to deliver without being over the top. The cover to this looks like
something that was a lot of fun to draw and the George Perez influence
is very evident, even without the special thanks at the end.

Firestorm #21

(excerpt)
When I saw the cover for this issue on
the web several months ago, I knew I had to buy this issue. It's a
clever takeoff on the cover to Crisis on Infinite Earths #7, the issue
where Supergirl dies. You probably know the cover, since it's appeared
about a zillion times. It's the one where Superman, in tears, holds the
dead body of Supergirl, while dozens of heroes stand, mourning, on the
cliffs and hills behind him. Well, on this cover Firestorm in tears,
holds the dead body of Firestorm, while dozens of other Firestorms
stand, mourning, on the cliffs and hills behind him. Each Firestorm
looks just a little different from the next. There's a lion-faced
Firestorm and a Firestorm with a Superman "s" on his chest. There are
Firestorms with puffy sleeves and others with no sleeves. The cover is
pure geeky greatness.

The cover to Firestorm #21 is an homage to George Perez's cover to CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #7 (Oct 1985).
