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 [...]

Firestorm Patches
There is a segment of folks out there that love to collect patches. Personally, whenever I think of patch collecting it reminds me of the late 1970s and denim jackets. However, given that I live in a glass house built of Firestorm memorabilia, I’m not one to cast stones. Until a few weeks ago, I [...]

Rogues Gallery: Killer Frost part 1
Firestorm’s most well-known rogue is Killer Frost. As a foil for Firestorm, her basic concept is not that surprising — Firestorm is a guy that can generate heat, Killer Frost is a gal that can generate cold.

52 and the DC Comics Encyclopedia – 2007 & 2008
Welcome back for the final installment of WHO’S WHO WEEK here at FIRESTORM FAN! Today we’ll be looking at the current Firestorm, Jason Rusch.
