Though Blue Devil first appeared in the pages of Fury of Firestorm #24, stuntman Dan Cassidy and the Nuclear Man never officially met. (Blue Devil appeared in a completely separate insert story in the issue). If you think the two heroes are actually going to come face-to-face to each other- think again!
Firestorm operates in my beloved Pittsburgh, PA. Blue Devil is a resident of Hollywood. So, as this story is just coming together, expect Blue Devil to be heading East to the Big Apple with a stop off in the Steel City. It's a Hulk #180 situation with the heroes only coming face-to-face in the last panel! (And no- this isn't a spoiler...)
As Blue Devil drives to NYC, Professor Stein and super-jock Ronnie Raymond are about to enjoy some downtime at a computer convention. Of course, this symposium will be anything but serene as the villainous Bolt, who first appeared in as a Blue Devil baddie, has recruited some Firestorm foes to help rob the event!
So yes, Firestorm and Blue Devil will eventually meet. It's just going to be in the pages of Blue Devil #23, that's all...
A nearly flawless issue. It just plays out like a soap opera on Friday with the team-up, the real reason for buying this issue, drawn out until the coming 'Monday.'
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
