A fun new take on a favorite character. I like the New 52 Firestorm!
The book began to break down once Ethan van Sciver left. I'm not saying it was great under him, but once he left, the remaining issues were just trying to quickly wrap-up the storylines he started - they were then rushed and weak to make way for the next writer.
Couldn't wrap my mind around what's happening in the plot most of the time, but the artistic side of this is quite good. Both the designs and layout are very pleasant to look at.
Unfortunately, Simone's unceremonious departure from this title damaged it just as badly as I feared. First, we get an infinite number of Firestorms, totally muddying the waters of the title (and taking any character time away from our protagonists). I was actually initially pleased to see Firehawk brought into the Firestorm concept, but she turns out to be a total non-entity (like pretty much everyone else). And then after six issues of this foolishness, the author decides to sweep it all under...
I really want to like Firestorm. I really, really do. As said before in my review of the first volume of this series, I've always thought he was one of the coolest looking superheroes that there is. The fire, the atomic powers... Damn. He's just cool looking. For all the awesome visuals and artwork this book has going for it, the story is just not that memorable. There are even OTHER cool looking Firestorms in this story from all over the world. When two of them get together and combine their po...
Reprints The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men #0, 7-12 (May 2012-November 2012). Rogue Firestorm Protocols are popping up all over the world, and Ronnie and Jason have been separated. While Ronnie finds himself teamed with a Russian Firestorm Protocols agent named Pozhar, Jason teams with a French Firestorm Protocol agent named Firehawk. As both seek the stop the threat of the Firestorms, the real danger is exposed and Jason uncovers something about Zithertech that could bring the whole Firest...
So, slightly improved over the first six issues I'm still not crazy about the series so far. Wrapping up the origin story of the New 52 Firestorm, issues 7 through 12 bring the threat of the world wide rogue Firestorm Protocols to a close. Slightly a better reader than the first volume what mostly makes this worthwhile is the last story in the collection, issue 0, that introduces the complete Firestorm of Ronnie Raymond as the body with Jason Rusch as the mind floating in the background. This sh...
So finally there is the Firestorm here. And many stereotypical firestorms as well. Indian with multiple arms. French which keeps on saying stuff like "mon dieu" everytime something unexpected happens. And the tough but righteous British firestorm. And of course let's not forget about villain Firestorm..ohh you guessed it.... Russian firestorm :DThis book is just a way to get rid of other firestorms which have been created in the first book. This book should be read only by hardcore fans or for p...
This book is getting three stars for the art, but the story was only worth two. I think this book suffered from a change in writers and a forced change in plot direction. There are so many great characters and ideas that are never given the chance to be properly explored or completed. The book is rushed and becomes extremely disjointed. However, the artwork is really lovely with so many cool Firestorm designs, varied panel layouts, and truly wonderful coloring.
Good story overall. It seems like they are bringing the story closer to pre New 52
Yeesh. Poor Jason Rusch can't catch a break (or a decent storyline). Really though, haven't we all thought at one time or another, "Yeah, Firestorm is cool, but what if there were 45 of them."
How many Firestorms do we freaking need? There's at least 20 or 30 in the book and they completely water down the uniqueness of the character to the point I couldn't care less what happened to any of the characters. Which is good because you can actually see the shift in editorial direction when they decide to kill them all off, along with writing off the Zithertech nonplots. Then we have a zero issue which brings the character back in line with previous incarnations where 2 people share Firesto...
