Human Torch, Volume 1: Burn


The Human Torch meets Backdraft. I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. When a fireman spontaneously bursts into flames and dies, an old friend of Johnny Storm’s drafts the hero into the FDNY to look into the matter. Was the fireman a doomed mutant or is there a serial super-villain arsonist stalking the Big Apple???

A really good series that looks into Johnny’s days in high school before and after his fateful rocket experiment. The art is a little too manga for me tastes. But, it’s some early work of Skottie “Deadpool Team-up” Young’s and you see hints of his genius emerging in 2003.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
