Happy Birthday Firestorm Fan Blog!
Today marks the third birthday of the FIRESTORM FAN blog! Hard to believe it’s been three years already! More than 400 posts, over 1,500 comments, and nearly 250,000 page views! It all began with a post entitled, “Why a Firestorm blog?” When I started this site, Ronnie Raymond was dead and Firestorm was composed of [...]
The Completist’s Burden
When it comes to Firestorm comics, I’m a completist. I want to own every appearance of Firestorm in comic book form. It may seem a bit crazy, but it’s kind of my thing. One of the tools I’ve used over the years was the 1993 Mayfair Games role-playing supplement to Who’s Who in the DC [...]
I’m back from DragonCon with nearly 700 pictures!
Howdy Match-Heads! Sorry for my absence the past few days. I’ve been away at DragonCon in Atlanta! I’m still absolutely exhausted from the event and trying to get back into the swing of things. Normal posting should resume next week. To keep you satisfied until then, I’ve uploaded nearly 700 pictures from my DragonCon 2011 [...]
More Firestorm Custom Statues
Check out these gorgeous Firestorm custom statues! Last year we posted a fantastic Firestorm custom statue. I thought that was the only one out there, but then I stumbled across these beauties! This first statue was sculpted by Gabriel Luna and is part of Averone’s collection. I found this over on the Statues Community Forum. [...]
The Fury of Firestorms? Plural?
More information coming from this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con… It’s possible the title of the new series is “The Fury of Firestorms”. Plural. That’s what appeared on the Firestorm powerpoint slide during the DC Comics: The New 52 panel on Sunday (see below). Apparently, Gail wasn’t sure if this was official. Given the set-up [...]
Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom Exclusive Interview
We’ve got a special treat today here at FIRESTORM FAN – an amazing interview with Firestorm creators, Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom! Back in 1977, Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom created the character of Firestorm the Nuclear Man. Now seemed the ideal time to sit down with Gerry and Al as the Firestorm: The Nuclear [...]
Favorite Covers: The Fury of Firestorm #7
Here at FIRESTORM FAN we’ll cover every angle of the upcoming Fury of Firestorm series, but we’ll also continue to celebrate previous incarnations of the Nuclear Man! I love the cover to The Fury of Firestorm #7! What grabs my attention is not the attractively drawn woman, but Firestorm’s awesome action pose, along with the [...]
Unhappy Valentine’s Day to Firehawk and Booster Gold
We’ve got a special Valentine’s Day treat for you today… a crossover! Everybody loves a crossover! Today we’ve teamed up with our good buddy Walter from BOOSTERRIFIC to discuss the self-destructive romance between Firehawk and Booster Gold. Let’s face it, everyone makes a relationship mistake at some point. You look back years later and [...]
Firestorm en Español: La Guerra de los Elementales
Back in 1990, Firestorm was featured in a Spanish reprint comic entitled DC Premiere. While DC Premiere ran 18 issues, Firestorm only appeared in two of them. If I understand correctly, these two issues reprinted Firestorm #90-93, the four issues that made up the “Elemental War”. Other series reprinted in DC Premiere include: Doctor Fate, [...]
