I first picked up an issue of Firestorm during the “blank slate era” (during an adventure where Firestorm went toe-to-toe with Green Lantern) but was hooked by Mikhail’s storyline. After seeing Firestorm on TV during the Super Friends and Super Powers Team, I was so confused! Where was Professor Stein? Who was this Russian fellow? Why wasn’t Ronnie in control?

…

It was awesome!

I sometimes feel like the only fan in the world who appreciated Mikhail’s role in the Firestorm mythology. These entries were a really great find, and I’m grateful that you took the time to put them together. I hope that they find a way to keep the great Russian superheroes around during the new 52 (I was also a fan of Red Star and the Rocket Red brigade) because they’re still really interesting and relevant to modern culture. There are still great stories left to tell about (and with) Mikhail Arkadin!

While Moore seemed to get the basic facts all correct, I never felt like I was reading about the same people. Arkadin, Tokamak, etc., just seemed to be people sharing the names of the people I used to enjoy reading about, but somehow were different people entirely.

That said, your review hits all the right points. Thanks for sharing.
