Since I was already a fan of the character before Geoff Johns' arrival on the book, Piper's solo issue isn't quite as impressive as Captain Cold's issue, as that issue built up a character who I had previously written off as lame, while this issue simply reaffirms something I already knew. This issue does make good use of the character, and it makes for a nice introduction for new readers, as Geoff Johns does a solid job explaining who this character is, as well as what his current situation is. As for longtime readers they get to enjoy seeing the character hook up with a couple former Rogues, and the issue ends with a fairly interesting situation set up, as James Jesse's offer certainly sounds promising. The issue also takes Piper's somewhat goofy gimmick and gives it some teeth, as there's a very nice sequence in James Jesse's office that shows how dangerous Piper can be. Read Full Review

Johns excels at these build up issues
