Will need to go back and read the older Firestorm stuff... Maybe?
Excited. I can't wait to see the duality of this book, being that while really good friends, Gail and EVS are very different people, much like Ronnie and Jason.
Is it just me, or should there be a big wiki task to create separate pages for Ronnie and Jason? Thought about it a bit during Brightest Day, but now especially, it might be necessary.

Looking forward to this
....I don't like Firestorm. But I like Gail Simone. What do I do?

Firestorm is one of the few Dc characters who i don't know much about..so i hope they completely start over

Imma read this.
pspinon Sept. 19, 2011 at 2:11 p.m.
This looks really good
ManlyScreamon Sept. 19, 2011 at 2:11 p.m.
Wow Gail Simone...must read. The duality of the characters and her writing style for Secret Six could make this a very enjoyable and different type of read..Looking forward to it.

I'm definitely getting this one! I wasn't going to get it, but last week I got a hunch about it and the Hawkman book

A great writer and a great artist on a character that not too many fans seem to like. Perhaps they can wretch things up a notch or two for Firestorm.

Firestorm is one of those characters that i'm somewhat unfamiliar with, so this should be at the very least interesting.

You don't need to go back and read anything. This is a new concept they're creating for the character. No previous history exists. They're making Firestorm a whole new character with a whole new concept. Like they did with Superboy. It should be great. Its been really underrated but I think people will be surprised. They're building a universe around Firestorm like Geoff did with Green Lantern because EVS probably feels cheated for not getting credit for creating the Red Lanterns. Hopefully it pays off. Im getting this for Simone.

If you like Gail Simone get it. Its a different take on the Firestorm character. You might like it. Simone has a habit of injecting her style into characters. And Firestorm is getting completely rebooted. You might like this incarnation of Firestorm.

@Fhiz: It hink it is necesary!

I never really liked Firestorm, he originated from Super Friends cartoon right? I might pick up the first issue since its by Gail Simone.
B'Townon Sept. 19, 2011 at 7:06 p.m.
I'm getting this solely based on my love for Gail Simone's work. I hope it rocks.
mr.obviouson Sept. 19, 2011 at 7:35 p.m.
i know almost next to nothing about firestorm :P
B'Townon Sept. 19, 2011 at 8:10 p.m.
@mr.obvious: That's more than I know. :P
Dig Deeper into Firestorm
Originally a composite being, Firestorm had power over fire and heat, and could alter the atomic structure of objects. As of "The New 52" multiple Firestorms exist and Ronnie and Jason as individual Firestorms can combine to create Fury, a giant walking nuclear reactor.
