Many Firestorm fans have expressed concerns about Ronnie’s drinking in the current Brightest Day series considering his battle with alcoholism in the mid-1990s.

With that said, she has still proven to be an interesting and dangerous adversary for ole match-head. Today [...]
Black Lantern Firestorm… sneak peek
Last week DC released the following teaser of the Black Lantern Ronnie Raymond/Firestorm. It looks pretty freakin’ amazing! Even though it lists Ivan Reis’ name next to the picture, I’m pretty sure this drawing was done by Ethan Van Sciver.
