Hot dog! In an effort to tie-in with Brightest Day, DC will be reprinting some of Firestorm volume III. I’m really pleased with this because I believe more of Jason’s run should be collected. DC Comics Presents: Brightest Day #2 ships in November and will be a mini-trade paperback containing three issues of Firestorm along […]

Fury of Firestorm #61 Variant Cover
Back in July 1987, DC Comics test-marketed a couple different covers and logos. This was long before variant covers became commonplace as they are nowadays. Justice League #3 and Fury of Firestorm #61 were sold in certain areas as a marketing test. The two variants featured different primary images and a “Superman Comics” logo in […]

The first round challenge was called, “I’m A Marvel, And I’m A DC”. Contestants had to write a song from the point-of-view of a superhero or supervillian. All of […]
