I gave Firestorm a chance after the Identity Crisis crossover and Ronnie's comeback and started buying it again from there. Later on I read the first issues and they weren't to my liking.
I didn't buy the book from the beginning because I didn't like the premise and the writer actually snubbed the fans. Later on, the penciller also got a swelled head and further distanced the book from being endeared by the (new and old) fans. I know this post is out of left field but sometimes I actually react to one of my pet peeves which is people making erroneous generalizations. I'm sad to see one of my favorite characters go, even in this altered version; I hope there's room for him in the future.
Everything is a generalization, Get over it. There's sites dedicated to Ronnie Raymond asking for the cancellation of the new book. Internet posts all over the internet saying how they refuse to buy the book etc. It might be a generalization, but its still a correct one. Ill change the wording though, MOST Ronnie fans didnt give the book the chance it deserved.
But what is an undeniable fact is that the Ronnie Raymond Firestorm book wasn't flying off the shelf either.
