I hope so, it makes no sense to me to dump Firestorms arc in there as DC not only rebuilt the character for a new audience but left it all on a cliffhanger. We deserce resolution!

Backpedal, backpedal, backpedal….

To be fair, though, given my political leanings I like their more symbolic explanation of Fury— the living embodiment of unpredictable nuclear problems gone amok— than the less esoteric explanation of him as “Hulk on Fire.” If they really play up this theme it could win me over to the Fury concept, which, up until now, I have not been loving.

I also like that they have people from different political perspectives taking on topical issues in this book. Even though I lean very much to one side, I don’t like one-sided political fiction. I like room for different perspectives, which usually makes for better, multi-layered storytelling. I think this team promises to deliver that.
