The Pulse.
This is Snowflame third appearance in DC Comics since his debut in 1988 (full spoilers here) and return in 2020 (full spoilers here). This story is the best of the bunch as it doesn’t take the character too seriously nor play him for a laughs as window into 1980s culture. It shows the character as being hobbled by his addiction and embraces his absurdity. Story tone may not generally be my cup of tea, but it had its moments. Art was amazing. 6.5 out of 10.
