Ramona Fradon draws Firestorm

Ramona Fradon is one of the all-time great comic book artists! I was fortunate enough to meet her in 2018 at the Baltimore Comic Con, and she was a true joy.

Ramona Fradon is known by many as THE premier Aquaman artist, having drawn the character for over 10 years and launching Aquaman into the Silver Age of comics. Most of you probably know I’m one-half of the team that produces AQUAMAN & FIRESTORM: THE FIRE & WATER PODCAST.  My podcasting partner, Rob Kelly, is responsible for THE AQUAMAN SHRINE.  Therefore, this recent commission by Ramona Fradon of Firestorm just blew my socks off!  The melding of two of my favorite things!

Ramona Fradon draws Firestorm

Love this so much!!  This is not my commission, but it’s featured over on the Catskill Comics website.  Check out their site and you can order your own Ramona Fradon commission! My thanks to Darrin & Ruth Sutherland for the heads-up about this piece!

Support Firestorm (and Ramona Fradon)! Fan the Flame!

Doomsday Clock #8 & #9 – Reaction from a Firestorm Fan **SPOILERS**

Warning, the following contains SPOILERS for Doomsday Clock #8 & #9. There were major Firestorm-related plots and revelations in these issues. I recommend you read the issues yourself before reading my commentary.

Reading Doomsday Clock #8 left me concerned that Firestorm might be permanently damaged as a character. Reading Doomsday Clock #9 just left me mad as hell.

Let me start by saying I realize this story isn’t finished yet. Therefore judging the overall story would be wrong; doing that before reading the ending is always a mistake. Instead I’m providing my commentary in regards to Firestorm’s activity in the story so far, and some speculation on the future direction of the Firestorm arc. Fair warning, this is gonna be a long one.

DOOMSDAY CLOCK #8

You should really read the issue itself, lots of Firestorm stuff in there (even Pozhar, now looking like the awesome Elemental Firestorm design!).

The short version is Ronnie Raymond decides, against Professor Stein’s recommendation, to fly to Russia to confront those accusing Firestorm of being part of the “Supermen Theory”.  The “Supermen Theory” is a conspiracy theory finding momentum that many superheroes were created as part of some secret government program.

Dr. Allen Phaedon on YOUNG JUSTICE! Wait.. who?

On a recent episode of the animated series YOUNG JUSTICE: OUTSIDERS, Dr. Allen Phaedon made an appearance! You know, Dr Phaedon from FIRESTORM!  Isn’t that great!! … … Yup, I didn’t remember him either. My thanks to FIRESTORM FAN friend, Joshua Lapin-Bertone for the heads-up on this character appearance. Check out Josh’s YOUNG JUSTICE: OUTSIDERS article over on DC UNIVERSE about Easter Eggs found in episodes 10-13 by clicking here!

Created by Stuart Moore & Jamal Igle in FIRESTORM #14 (August 2005), Dr. Phaedon is an ill-tempered scientist working for STAR Labs specializing in nanotechnology and miniaturization. When we first meet him, he works for STAR Labs Detroit, and later STAR Labs San Francisco. And the STAR Labs Detroit office is hilariously low rent! I love that they worked in the STAR Labs sloping front into a shopping center facade — Bwah-ha-ha!! Beneath the dentist and Pizza Tent on the marquee too! LOL!STAR Labs Detroit from FIRESTORM #14 by Stuart Moore & Jamal Igle
