I’ll give this one a chance but to say the series has always been about change is rediculous. Since the blank slate Firestorm I’ve been waiting for them to return him to the original Firestorm yet everyone seems to want to make a new version and it’s never been as good as the original. I miss the fun, I’m not interested in dark and edgy heroes. That seems all this new 52 is. If I wanted a world that didn’t like heroes I’d read Marvel

Congratulations on scoring an advanced copy, I am extremely jealous right now! I am also extremely nervous. Ever since Firestorm’s second run ended with issue 100 I have been looking forward to the day I can start collecting his books again. (When the Jason Rusch Firestorm series started I had stopped collecting comics only to begin again about six months ago.) Now that thew new series is only a couple days from being released, I am fighting this fear that it’s only going to last a few issues and then get canceled. I sincerely hope I am wrong, since I really like the art I have seen so far, and Ethan and Gail seem to have a good direction in mind for the story.

It seems to me that of all the new 52 books, Firestorm seems to be the one fundamentally changing the character itself the most, and I hope that doesn’t scare people away.

So the REAL question is…..
Even though it is a “re-imagining” of the concept of Firestorm, does it pick up threads from Brightest Day or is it a true reboot “episode 1″ type origin story comic (like Blue Beetle)?

I’m so jealous you got to read this already! I’ve never been much of a Firestorm fan, but I love Gail Simone and some of Yildiray Cinar’s preview pages just blew me away. Seems like a perfect way for me to get into the character, and I’m really looking forward to it.

After reading this and posting my comment, I decided to go over to Comixology’s site to see if they will have the digital version on Wednesday. I did this because I suddenly realized that I may not have the time this week to actually visit the comic book store I regular to pick up my “pull” that will include this issue. So, I thought, to tide me over I would see if a digital version will be available for me to read over there. I was shocked to find that they will have and, apparently, already have over 1200 pulls for this comic. Yes, it’s true that there are higher numbers for the much more popular titles – Batman, The Flash – but I was still pleasantly surprised to see The Fury of Firestorm has such a high number for a digital version.
