I gotta admit, this charactor was totally new to me. I read about this six-part series right here on CCl and was looking for something to read over the Labor Day weekend so I went over to my local comic book store and grabbed it. The Red Tornado did not disappoint. I did a quick check on him and found out that he has a lot of back-history. 40+ years worth. Appearently this super-powered android was a long time member of the JLA and later a player in Crisis on Infinite Earths. He's an elemental being who's powers include near-supernatural control over wind and air. As far as this first issue goes, the Red Tornado is on a quest to find out how many others are out there like him. We read what is an apparent parallel quest by Red Volcano which includes a vist to Belle Reve Mental Hospital, a place where mad scientists and the criminal elite are held. It's here that "The Creator" is being held. Meanwhile, the Red Tornado is drilling into the Colorado Rockies for an abandoned collection of data that holds what the Red Tornado is seeking. Thats as far as I'll go with the story due to the spoiler factor but must say this was an enjoyable read. We traveled on land and deep in the oceans following Red Tornado's quest. Some of his back-history was revealed and I'm sure we'll see a lot more in the comming issues. I love the cover of this first issue and kind of wish that DC had done a variant. Anyway, if you're looking for a new read that will take you well into the cold months, get on board now. I know I am.
