Jun 10, 2026The sins of Martin Stein come to light in a troubling manner as Firestorm continues his rampage. Lemire locks in on the psychological aspect of Stein’s schemes via the writing .

Comic Book Clique - George Serrano
Jun 13, 2026I am not entirely sure this dark direction is what Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom had in mind when they first dreamt up the character during the Bronze Age, but this modern reimagining is an absolute trip. It is easy to see why purists might rub against it, considering the classic mentor and student dynamic has been violently ripped out of the mythos. Yet Lemire’s bold choices ensure that Firestorm threatens to raise the temperature of the entire DC Universe in a massive way. Regardless of how you feel about the retcon, this issue cements Firestorm as a force of nature that can no longer be trifled with, leaving readers with one burning question: who can possibly withstand the fury?

I liked it, but I know this issue might not sit well with long-time fans because of Martin Stein's characterization. All the drama surrounding the creation of the Firestorm project is interesting, but it's cruel to see Ronnie being manipulated. I haven't read much of the character, so this change probably won't affect me as much as others, but I understand it could disappoint a lot of people. I'm giving it 9.5 for the amazing art, the very interesting plot, and because I'm really hyped for future issues.

Man, I feel so vindicated after talking with people who doubted Lemire on Firestorm, because this just continues to rock. I just really love what Lemire is doing here, man. The backstory with Martin and how he manipulated Ronnie, I thought, was the best part of this. Also, very glad to see Jason get something to do here. Oh yeah, and Firestorm just making light work of multiple Justice League members was just great. Latorre continues to do amazing work throughout this book, as well. This is definitely my favorite Next Level book right now and I'm so giddy about it.

I love this series. issues 1 and 2 were fantastic and this has been the best work of Jeff Lemire in recent memory. With that said, we need to be able to move on in comics from bringing up and retconning the past. It's always been hinted about Ronnie and Martin. But the "grooming" just doesn't sit right with me. We didn't need it and thats what holds down this issue being as good as it could be. Overall it's still strong and one of the best series in DC comics and I want more!

Two things can be true:
- This is a good comic.
- This is not a love letter to the classic Firestorm comics. -
