The Last Page Of Fury Of Firestorm The Nuclear Men

[aaron_bourque]

Fury Of Firestorm The Nuclear Men #1 has two distinctions.

1. It has the longest title of the reboot.

2. The last page is arguably dumber than the last page of Batman: The Dark Knight.

One page under the cut.



Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; also, Voodoo #1 was surprisingly good. It definitely did "sexy" better than either Catwoman #1 or Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 . . . not that that would be hard in the latter case.

Plus, you know, Wonderwoman's daughter.

That is a reference to mythology, it's acceptable. Just going by FURY is as bad as most of the names of the new heroes from the 90s. At least it's not misspelled.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; FYOOREE!!

[sianmink]

He could also use some pants.

[pyrotwilight]

...I don't see how a name can really be bad (short of an inappropriate one or plain silly). Aren't all names equal in the end?

[aaron_bourque]

Fury IS silly, except when it's a reference to something that's not, like mythology.

Funnily enough, Marz is actually wrapping up his run on Witchblade right now. I found it quite odd that the covers we've seen for Voodoo have her powers looking oddly similar to those of the character leading the book he's known for.

[mrstatham]

Yeah, this isn't quite as bad as "You didn't push that dude out the window but you didn't stop the guy doing it, but neither did I and I'm in a better position to shoot the villain, and I'm still going to blame you" whilst Batgirl stands there uselessly going "NOESSSSS"

[bluestar86]

Cass wouldn't have put up with this crap.

[mrstatham]

So... More like Farcestorm?

[aaron_bourque]

Maybe he also has retractable pants, like Wonder Woman, only retracted too far.

[icon_uk]

What? Why? Fury is an emotion, it's no more a silly name than, say "Hope", or even something like "Doomsday", and is a good descriptor of this creatures mindset.

[espanolbot]

I love the cereal with that name too.

[aaron_bourque]

Those are silly, too.

[icon_uk]

Out of genuine curiosity, what is your opinion of names like;
Flash?
Superman?
Hawkman?
Cyclops? (Who has two eyes after all)
and even Firestorm?

[icon_uk]

Well, depending on how far they retract that might explain the bad mood.

"...that the only bad thing they didn't do was drown a litter of puppies."

Hey, can't use up all your characterization in the first issue.

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

Oooh yes please! :D

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

Outlaws? ._. OMAC? Hawk and Dove?

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

I liked how she was calling Bab's a murderer when the actual murderer was still right next to her. :P

[q99]

I don't think it's 'funnily enough' so much as he's taking on this one because he is done with Witchblade and it's a fairly natural fit :)

[aaron_bourque]

Flash, yes. It makes sense, but it's still silly.

. . . actually, the same can be said for all of them, to varying degrees.

[biod]

Much as I normally like Simone's work I would have gladly replaced her with Clevenger. The man is such a perfect fit for the concept it's tragic.
Maybe a mini someday?

[aaron_bourque]

. . . Rereading with this in mind.

[jlroberson]

Well, they certainly couldn't wait to get past the setup. So they skipped it completely.

I read this. I won't be again.

I hate what a shallow, uninteresting jerk Ronnie has been ever since Johns got ahold of him originally.
