Brightest Day #17

Firestorm blazes front and center on this 2011 installment of DC's Brightest Day event series, his flame-crowned head burning bright and a burst of nuclear energy crackling from his outstretched fist against a stark white background accented by bold red geometric shapes. David Finch's cover rendering captures the Nuclear Man mid-stride with real kinetic energy — red-and-gold costume gleaming, every detail crisp and charged. With a story titled "Homecoming" and a creative team that includes writers Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi alongside a stellar art lineup, this issue promises plenty of reasons to follow Firestorm's journey through one of DC's most ambitious crossover events.
