He's an integral part of that character and while I know it was the first issue and things can change, having him essentially missing from the start felt odd.<br /><br />I have always like Firestorm as a character and found the new version that they did on Batman Brave and the Bold to be fantastic riff on the traditional mold. We'll just have to see what issue two brings to the table.Rogue Displayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004084588607103617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615114839760021982.post-52955715642688153962011-10-02T15:34:40.082-07:002011-10-02T15:34:40.082-07:00I was a little disappointed in the first issue of ...I was a little disappointed in the first issue of Firestorm, but not as much as you were it seems. I suppose that it was too different from the halcyon early days I remember so fondly when Fury of Firestorm #2 was one of the first two comics I ever picked up. It also probably didn't help that I didn't read a ton of Jason Rusch-era issues as I pretty much ignored DC at that time. I don't really know what to expect of the character. <br /><br />Like you, I thought the fighting with Ronnie was a little forced. But most of all, I really want Professor Stein around. He always grounded Firestorm and without him, I'm going to have to alter my expectations. I'll keep reading for now, because I really want it to succeed, but I hope issue 2 is better.<br /><br />Aquaman, on the other hand, was excellent. That was a pleasant surprise. I'll also have to give All-Star Western a try. Wasn't going to check it out, but your review convinced me.Br'nnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173975868287419065noreply@blogger.com
