Tomasi, with art by Ivan Reis, Patrick Gleason, Ardian Syaf, Scott Clark, Joe Prado, and inks by Vicente Cifuentes, Tom Nguyen, Rebecca Buchman, David Beaty, and Patrick Gleason, and colors by Aspen MLT, Peter Steigerwald, Beth Sotelo, and John Starr, this issue deepens the mystery of the Firestorm legacy and J'onn's origins.
