Brightest Day #2

In "Nuclear Options," Ray Palmer's attempt to free Martin Stein from the Firestorm matrix takes a dangerous turn, testing the limits of science and control. Meanwhile, J'onn J'onzz uncovers a hidden piece of his past—Professor Erdel had a daughter, and the Martian's arrival on Earth wasn't as solitary as he believed. Written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. 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. The cover by David Finch and Scott Williams captures the tension in stark, striking detail.
