Firestorm! (And other DC notes)

yendiWell, not really. Because Firestorm is Ronnie Raymond (and whoever else gets thrown into his fucked-up mixed-personality matrix), not some elemental BS who gets "granted" to people.
I know nothing about the writer, so it's definitely not going to make my pull list. But hey, it's got ChrisCross and John Dell on art, so if I hear good things about it and pick it up in trades, at least I know that it'll be pretty.
And hey, Robin is looking pretty interesting these days:
Insert joke of your choice here.
Oh, and Grant Morrison Returns with Another Wacky Series! A cigar-smoking tuna! Could he be any more subversive? I mean, like wow!
Seriously, if you'd told me ten years ago that Pete Milligan would be more impressive and subversive than Grant, I'd have slapped you with my quarter-binned copies of Enigma.

You can only say that because you didn't read The Filth.

Grant had long since convinced me not to buy his stuff by that time. You're one of the few people I've seen who actually says good things about that series.

The death by umbrella, though, is indeed fabulously amusing and sick, however.
