Firestorm since his inception has always seemed underrated given his power set. This new series is intriguing to read as he takes the brakes off and plunges into a smittance of his full potential. I am happy to hear you stacked on 3 more issues.
Awesome looking cover Jeff. Thanks for the behind the scenes look at your process. Also amazing news that the book is going to 9 Issues. Here's hoping it continues to expand.
Stellar news about all the love for the series. Very excited for the coming issues, myself. Love that Denys was able to do the pencils for this lovely variant. Can't wait
hey, i was wondering if firestorm is a limited series because of sales or because you only plan on doing the first 9 issues (cause i heard you were planning on issue 8 before)?
so if you want to continue and it keeps selling well, will it become an ongoing?
(also any idea of when the collected edition is to come? as someone who only collects them, it’s sad to see no next level books solicited in the fall catalogue)
I think DC was originally hesitant to commit beyond 6 because Firestorm has traditionally been a tough sell in the market place. But the sales were strong enough to allow me to add to my plans and tell the best story I could. Not sure when it will be collected but I will definitely post about it here when I find out.
Thanks for sharing, Jeff, and congrats on a strong start to FIRESTORM! I'm glad readers and retailers responded so well. I enjoyed the first issue and look forward to reading the rest!
Always so excited to read a new Substack post from you. Super excited to see more from Firestorm, issue one was a huge surprise for me. Anyway, I recently released the first episode of an on-going docuseries about your different works. I'm planning on releasing them weekly.
No idea why those original Firestorm runs have not been collected. I have not heard of any plans at DC to do so. But the back issues are relatively cheap to hunt down.
Love the process shots! First issue was a banger. Looking forward to finally meeting you at Heroes Con this year!

My bucket list would be a team up with Breach.

Awesome art!
That first issue of Firestorm was really good. I hope it gets extended again.
Any update to if JSA will go pass #24?
JSA updates coming next month!
Jeff, Last month you mentioned you have an update on JSA. Will that still happen, please.
Can I ask Mr Lemire, is it a positive update for the JSA. Apologies for sounding presumptuous , i’m just a fan of your JSA. Take care.

just from reading the preview of issue 1, i was so intrigued.
as a new reader, i hadn’t even heard of any previous firestorm runs, but was instantly sold on both the story and art (miolo’s colors are soo good!)

F@$!ing amazing cove, and thanks for showing how you inked that👍🏻 First issue was really good, can’t wait for the second.
Hey there.....wonderful new FIrestorm....sorry you will not be in Charlotte.....hope to see you at a Con in the future....
Hey Jeff Lemire,
Always so excited to read a new Substack post from you. Super excited to see more from Firestorm, issue one was a huge surprise for me. Anyway, I recently released the first episode of an on-going docuseries about your different works. I'm planning on releasing them weekly.
Here's the link to the first episode:

Any chance of an interview?
-Luke G.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I don't have time for an interview right now, but maybe down the road!
Amazing! I would love if there were even more than 9 issues cause it seems you're going to a pretty interesting place here.
It's crazy to me that Fury remains uncollected in any form? Do you think that is in the offing or know a reason it isn't?
The original fury series, I mean.
