Fury of Firestorm Returns as Unexpected Hit

Firestorm's finally getting his moment again with the new Fury of Firestorm volume, and it seems critics and readers are genuinely impressed. The character's been one of DC's heavy hitters—literally one of their most powerful—but has spent years languishing in relative obscurity. This new run is taking the composite hero in directions fans didn't see coming while still respecting what made the character compelling in the first place. For what it's worth, Firestorm's resurrection mirrors a broader trend of DC mining their B-tier heroes for surprisingly solid stories.
