Brandon Leonard, a long-time fellow Firestorm Fan, contacted me last week with some big news! While at a fan expo in Toronto, a certain creator from DC mentioned that he’d been offered a chance to write a new ongoing Firestorm comic! The creator indicated that he turned down the offer because he already had too many projects. The creator went on to say that a writer Brandon would love has accepted the assignment. Finally, the creator mentioned that everyone coming out of Brightest Day “alive” would be getting a new ongoing.
Wow! What a scoop! My thanks to Brandon for sending this information my way. Now let’s all keep our fingers crossed that this actually happens!
By the way, sorry I missed last week folks. I was exhausted after DragonCon, and what little energy I had left was expended fighting off a vicious cold.
Support Firestorm! Fan the flame!
Come on. We need a name!
Sorry. The creator who shared this information will remain nameless for their own protection. The creator that has supposedly agreed to write the ongoing wasn’t named.
A new FS series would rock. Hopefully it’ll last this time, but even if it gets ditched after twelve issues, I’d take what I can get!
I know from another DC writer, who I will not name even under pain of death, that there’s a few announcements coming up in New York. Maybe this is one of them.
Seems early in the Brightest Day run to be declaring survivors though.
A new Firestorm ongoing?!? Oh happy day … er … I mean brightest day. I’d love to see a new Aquaman series too. Here’s hoping.
This is great news!! Oh my poor wallet, how you are going to hate me for what’s coming 😀
Hmmm…
I’d love to see Adventure Comics taken over, turned into an 80 page book, with all the BD characters in solo strips.
A man can dream, can’t he?
i was so excited to hear this i had to get it outtt lol
mhmm this made more of an impact than i thought it would lol
