About the series
From 2004 to 2006, DC Comics relaunched the nuclear-powered hero Firestorm with a fresh, 22-issue series centered on college student Jason Rusch, who inherits the mantle alongside a cast that includes the original Ronnie Raymond, scientist Martin Stein, and allies like Mick Wong and Lorraine Reilly. Written primarily by Dan Jolley and Stuart Moore, with art from Jamal Igle, ChrisCross, and Eddy Barrows, this run modernized the character’s mythos while exploring identity and responsibility through a new generation. It stands as a key entry in DC’s post-2000s evolution, bridging classic Firestorm lore with contemporary storytelling.
