What the Hell!! This is the last issue of Firestorm?? It can't be. This truly is one of my favorite characters of all time. And now he's gone? Well . . . not gone entirely. That big event that's coming up this summer . . . you know the one . . . the one that involves Darkseid! Well . . I have a feeling that Firestorm, actually Jason and Gehenna, are going to play a pretty big role in it. And maybe that's why the book is being put on hiatus. Maybe! But with a cred in the back that says, "Thanks to everyone who helped make Firestorm amazing . .", I don't think it's coming back as a regular title. Which really pisses me off. First I think that the characters they've developed in this particular incarnation are awesome. They don't deserve just to be thrown by the wayside because of some editorial decision. Second, because through all of this, all 35 issues, and the entire run of 52 which I thought would give us some insight, we still don't know the final fate, or what actually happened to Ronnie Raymond. Which is how they left us some 12 years or so ago when then cancelled the first run of this book. I'm sure we'll find out some answers this summer with the big bang thing, but that's not enough. What about Jason's parents, the Professor, Gehenna, Lorraine, and the rest of his supporting cast? We want to know their fates. We want to hear their stories. What about the Firestorm matrix and it's potential? And what about Jason? This is a kid who came out of nowhere, and in the short span of 35 issues, we've come to care about and love. And finally, what about us? The fans. There has to be more than just me. Speak up out there! Let your voices be heard! Let DC know that your not happy about their decision! We need to do something to try to save our friend. Please!! Will somebody out there lend me a hand? Please!! By the way, Pop Mahn did a great job on the artistic chores of this issue. Thanks!
