From DC Comics, I picked The Fury Of Firestorm #2 as my Pick Of The Week!
WHO IS RONNIE RAYMOND?
Who is Ronnie Raymond, and how did he become the powerful nuclear man Firestorm? Is there an answer in his past that sheds a light on how he went rogue?

I picked up the first issue of this new series on a whim. Firestorm was a character I was aware of from the Justice League cartoon and Legends of Tomorrow, but not one I had read in any comics.
Wow, that first issue was dark, but here, things continue along that route, interspersed with some excellent character moments, origins and a good hook for the rest of the arc. This seems to add a lot more to the Firestorm lore and makes an interesting character, with some great work on the threat.
The artwork is excellent, with a great mix of the now, flashbacks and…. somewhere else. I like the colouring too.
The end of this issue has a fantastic hook, and I am looking forward to seeing how explosive the next issue is!
