DC’s Next Big Star Is Their Version of Spider-Man

The first issue of Fury of Firestorm is a compelling and unsettling story. The hero unexpectedly levels a small town, displaying a disturbing lack of emotion despite experiencing intense feelings. His ex-girlfriend, Firehawk, is brought in to investigate, and her investigation reveals some surprising truths. While the comic is very well done, it’s a significant departure from the character’s original intent. Firestorm was initially envisioned as a major new hero, blending the humor of Spider-Man with the incredible power typical of DC Comics characters. The publisher made a smart choice with the writer, who perfectly captured the essence of the Nuclear Man.
