Picks up some of the other major plot threads that had been laid and weaves them with the same climactic tension of the previous issue; I was worried they'd take a quick breath after the handful of revelations we just got, but they just pushed down harder on the gas, and the series isbrounding out better for it.

4/5 Stars (%76/100)

The focus was on Firestorm and Superman. Something weird has been going on with Firestorm and the tension between Russia and America grows. Superman is forced to pick a side while Ozymandias' plan is already in motion. Good issue.

OH MY GOD!

This issue was insane!
After an issue full of information and revelations comes a beautifully crafted issue filled with conflicts, fights, politics and action.
I am in love!

In this issue, shit hits the fan, the conflicts throughout the world are bigger than ever, the metahumans are at their most controversial and everything is screwed up.

We meet Firestorm in this issue, who happens to be one of my favorite DC characters. He's basically a child and a professor trapped in one body and it really shows in his actions. You can really tell it's just a little kid trying his best.
But his best isn't always right, and he manages to turn thousands of people to glass.
Superman then, seeks him out trying to help him and find out that Firestorm can indeed undo the disaster he caused, but instead of helping fix the problem, our dear Superman managed to not only screw things up, but also get himself labeled as the bad guy who picked the American side, rather than the hero of the whole planet.

I really liked how focused on Superman this issue was, because throughout the previous issues I could tell he had a big impact on the story but I needed to see it more closely.

And the ending!
Oh bloody hell that ending!!
It turns out Ozymandias is back at it again, because ruining one world with the excuse to "save it" isn't enough so why not ruin them all?


All in all, this was such an enjoyable issue and I'm so pumped to read the rest of this story!

Lot of action in this one. Good storyline as well. The ending promise a next one very interesting. This one was very DC centered and not much of Watchmen universe but still a good one. The end is near (or night ;)) and I have high hope for it!
