Superman villain Metallo is revealed to be behind the attack on Blue Devil's brownstone. (Plus the robberies at STAR Labs.) True, Cassidy's domicile was collateral damage. But Metallo was the culprit.
Blue Devil finds himself once again playing the reluctant hero. But in the end, Blue Devil will earn high praise from the mightiest hero of Metropolis- Superman!
The relationship between Superman and Blue Devil is so classic. I wonder why we never saw much transpire between the two. Blue Devil would have made a great entry to the Superman Family. But he gets relegated to the supernatural side of the DC Universe what with Blue Devil becoming a member of Shadowpact.
I think the similarities between how Superman and Dan Cassidy interact was too similar to that of one of my all-time favorite DC characters, Firestorm. It's the Man of Steel who takes on an early mentor role to Firestorm, up to and including backing the Nuclear Man's acceptance into the Justice League.
I'm sure the complete reboot of the Superman mythos after CRISIS will have something to do with Blue Devil leaving Metropolis life behind.
A very funny story with two excellent henchmen of Metallo's who are completely inept! Here's hoping that we'll see more of them in the future.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
