The Fury of Firestorm #1 & #2 (2026)

How did I miss this? DC Comics released The Fury of Firestorm #1 on April 8, 2026. I used to read Firestorm back in the 1980s and still have most of the issues. I might have start having Firestorm Fridays as an alternative to Fantasy Fridays. Here is the official summary of the first issue:

"The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts... experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?"

Here is the official summary of The Fury of Firestorm #2, which was released this 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?"

Toy Tuesday: Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things Steve and Robin Captured

My second Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC286, which is Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley captured. The figurines are tied together and wearing their Scoops Ahoy sailor-style uniforms. It's actually a pencil accessory but you can probably also put it on a straw.
