Do you know if GS has another FB account? The one you provided the link to has “too many friend requests”
Wow! I had no idea. I think she’s more active on Twitter, so that might be the best place to catch her comments.
Gail Simone tweeted a few nights ago that Fury of Firestorm will have as much world-building and expanding of the “mythos” so-to-speak as Green Lantern when Johns and EVS started “Rebirth”.
Gonna take a Lotta building. Most of MatchHead’s colorful Rogues Gallery met their fate in John O’s Suicide Squad days.
I think it’ll have a lot to do with those four blank circles on “Superstorm”‘s torso and Van Sciver’s comment about redefining the nature of Firestorm’s powers.
@ Shag–wonderful new headers on the page. (I think that’s the proper term). They look great.
@ discussion–certainly this reboot–villians, powers, hero(es), blank circles–and all will be interesting. Can’t wait.
My thanks to everyone for the comments!
@Keith – The good news is in this relaunched universe, all those deceased villains are fair game again!
@Spinks – Thanks for noticing the new headers! I’ve pulled together two of them based upon the new FURY OF FIRESTORM cover. My blog template randomly-chooses a header every time you visit. There are about 10 different headers that could come up. Hit the refresh button a few times and the header should change. It’s one of the ways I celebrate all the various Firestorm incarnations.
Thanks again!
