Firestorm is just a burning match? WORST REDESIGN EVER!

Just kidding (I am basing this on the Bleeding Cool “replacement” image ;-)). Not sure what to make of all this just yet, as I am about the DC restart in general. Not really won over by the “Mega Firestorm” image (as someone said, too Ghost Rider). But who knows? At first I didn’t like Jason Rusch all that much, but he grew into a great addition to the FS mythos. I’m just hoping for something traditional is all.

How is the DC reboot going to happen, anyway? (I am a bit out of the loop) Is there gonna be another continuity warping story arc?

We’ll see how it all goes! I’m excited by the creative team, but my enthusiasm’s tempered by the illoes we’ve seen so far. So nice to see Ms. Simone make her presence known here, showing she’s in touch with the Firestorm fanbase and cares what we think.

I put up a special edition of my recent “Storm Warning” series over at my blog on this, pretty much reiterating what’s already been said. Can’t wait for September, that’s for sure!

Awesome! Best thing about this is that with Gail on board, there should be plenty of room for humour (Firestorm should be fun, dammit). Not aware of anything Ethan’s written since his CyberFrog days, but I used to love that so here’s hoping.

Things like costume, Ronnie being a student again etc I don’t care too much about. Things always change, I just want to read cool stories about characters I love.

When I first learned about the reboot of the DCU I was skeptical to say the least, so much so I’ve been walking around in a funk the last couple days not sure what to think. But now … if this is the change, change is good! That is the most talented team of creators to ever fuse with Firestorm. I can’t wait for it to begin!

@Gail – I am a huge fan of your work and love reading all your books, mostly Secret Six and Birds of Prey but I’m positive your take on Firestorm is going to be my new favorite. I can’t wait to see what you and Ethan have up your puffy sleeves.

@Shag – I’m willing to bet you’re just like me right now and your mind is blown by this news. BLOWN!

Some speculation over @ Newsarama that, based on the images, the new Firestorm could be the Anti-Monitor. I can kinda see it in the 2nd pic:
