The Fury of Firestorm #31

Firestorm is on his knees and clearly in trouble, engulfed in swirling clouds of vivid pink-purple energy while a white-haired antagonist marked "MB" looms behind him, hands raised and crackling with psychic force — this is "Brainblast!" and the Nuclear Man looks like he's feeling every bit of it. A guest-appearance inset spotlights Firehawk alongside the tantalizing question of whether she can save the one she loves, adding real emotional stakes to what's already a visually charged confrontation. Gerry Conway scripting alongside cover art by Rafael Kayanan and Pat Broderick makes this January 1985 issue a lively chapter in one of DC's most energetic mid-decade series.
