This was a good example of the writing overcoming the art for me, not that I disliked Brozowski/Birch’s work but it was certainly VERY experimental!
Brozowski seemed to be struggling to find a style of his own in Firestorm, some of his early work on the book strongly resembles John Byrne’s for example, but the JJ Birch stuff did give that run a unique feel, like an independant book almost, I did like reading Firestorm at this point though and if it wasn’t for the strong scripts Brozowski/Birch would have sunk the book like a lead balloon – it does show how willing to take risks DC were at the time, this is the era of Giffen’s Justice League, Watchmen, slow boiling books like the Messner-Loebs Flash and Perez written Wonder Woman, the 5-years later Legion, Grell’s more mature Green Arrow take, in that context Firestorm was punching its weight…. a little too aimed at older readers maybe but still very readable!
