Firestorm: The Nuclear Man #28

The Nuclear Man faces a massive, luminous green threat on Brian Stelfreeze's striking cover for this October 2006 issue — Firestorm charges forward with nuclear energy blazing from his fists directly into a towering, amorphous creature of living slime. It's a visceral, kinetic image that perfectly frames "In My Father's House Part One," the opening chapter of a new story arc from writer Stuart Moore and artist Jamal Igle. If you've been following this series, issue #28 looks like a fine jumping-on point for whatever confrontation lies ahead.
