Speaking of Firestorm, who is ol' flamehead now? I was reading Flash: The Secret of Barry Allen trade and it said that Firestorm is Ronnie, without the Professor. But I know the reboot of the character had an entirely different character as Firestorm. The Flash story was timed around the Identity Crisis so it isn't like it is old. Maybe two Firestorms? Any help from someone more in the know would be appreciated. Thanks.

He is this struggling college student now named Jason. Sometimes in over his head in the Superhero world. I like this take.

Wasn't that how the original Ronnie Raymond Firestorm was? And now Jason's somehow merged with Stein again?

I could've sworn it looked like the "old" Firestorm in Villains Unlimited, but I guess it was the "new" one, right?

Stein seems to be popping up in IC #4, I'm not sure if they are merged exactly. He was merged with his roommate in IC until issue #4 and it looked like he sort of went away. And the Firestorm in Villains United was the new one.

Still not sure why they are all out in space.

Good grief. What happened to Wonder Woman? I heard it was such a great series so I started picking it up right around the Sacrifice arc when she, you know, killed that guy. Ever since then it's pretty much sucked. The latest issue is no different, and the next looks to be some sort of flashback. Not much of a way to end the series.

When the Black kid took over he had a different look. Then he came in contact with Ronnie and after that he somewhat modified his costume to look a bit like the Classic costume to honor Ron.

I don't know, I thought the he latest issue just shows how awesome Diana is and how much she's loved and respected by humans and Gods alike.

Yeah, I too enjoyed that aspect of it. But the series is going out with a sort of a whimper, don't you think? I was hoping for more action, drama, or suspense.

Hmm, we'll see. I've been holding off on reading my Firestorm and other Crisis crossover issues.
