Gabriel Hardman (@gabrielhardman) asked upcoming FURY OF FIRESTORM artist Yildiray Cinar:

• @ycinar That’s awesome. Are you inking your own stuff on Firestorm?

Yildiray Cinar (@ycinar) responded with:

• @gabrielhardman Yes!

Much earlier in the week on June 10, Gail Simone (@GailSimone) said:

• And the big chatter has been for Batgirl, but seriously, Fury of Firestorm is huge. It is a key book in the relaunch, and is full of the kind of world-building we’ve only been seeing in the Green Lantern books, lately.It’s so, so much bigger than we can say yet. Ethan Van Sciver is co-plotter, and it’s a mix of huge concepts and very personal and heartfelt characters. I love it and DC is wild for it. Art is by Yildiray Cinar (@ycinar),who is just an explosive storyteller. He and Ethan are doing designs together. Superhero nirvana.
