Okay, we’re three issues into Brightest Day and we’re starting to get a picture of what’s happening with Firestorm. I’ll [...]
Firestorm volume III premiered in mid-2004 introducing Jason Rusch. Many people don’t realize that Firestorm volume III was scheduled to premiere nearly a year earlier starring Ronnie Raymond (rather than Jason Rusch). That’s right, before Jason Rusch was even a glimmer in Dan Jolley’s eye, there was a monthly Ronnie Raymond Firestorm series in the [...]

With that said, she has still proven to be an interesting and dangerous adversary for ole match-head. Today [...]

In addition to being a fan of Firestorm in the 1980’s, I was also a big fan of Iron Man. I used to play with my Super Powers Firestorm action figure side-by-side with my Secret Wars Iron Man figure. As many kids do, I would also draw pictures of my favorite superheroes. While drawing Firestorm [...]
