Maybe it's a concept that would wind up sounding better in theory than in practise (ala Jason's random-matrix), but there's so many possibilities both story-wise and visually. Pretty bizzare that they went as far as to drop a cliffhanger in a high profile book, only to pull the plug. It's really great to get character designs and names for this project, nice going. Having this article would've made things a touch less stressful when I was eyeing up buying the promo piece! heh How much money would we need to throw at Mike Carey to get hold of those scripts I wonder ;) I find the whole concept fascinating- imagine a team book where the team is one person (hmmm, kinda like Voltron in a way now that I think about it, or atleast that sort of thing).

Thanks for posting this. While I'm not blown away by the premise of Carey's approach, I am a fan of his writing and seeing his take on Firestorm would have been really, really cool. Too bad that never happened. And LaRosa's art looks great, as well. That’s really cool. Thanks for posting this.

I rememeber reading in Wizard how DC had planned to make Firestorm the next big revamp after Hawkman and would be followed by Captain Marvel after his success in the pages of JSA, but the gap between that and the next Firestorm series was ages apart.... now I know why. Awesome stuff. Thanks Shag, Jon and Keith! Wow – now that cliffhanger makes more sense!
