Continued from yesterday's cover, it looks like Ronnie Raymond has undergone yet another transformation. I remember Firestorm's evolution into an elemental character in the late 80's, and it was such a left turn for the hero - both visually and personality-wise, that I found it to be off putting. DC seemed to have a good thing going with the character and I wondered why they wanted to take a risk by changing him up so much. Thankfully, the nuclear man returned to a more familiar status quo not too long after.
They were trying to appeal to that New Age back-to-nature demographic. That's why!
ReplyDeleteP.S.---nice atmospheric cover! The full moon, alone, makes me wonder if you'll ever do a homage to RISE OF THE GUARDIANS. Like, say, Jack Frost duking it out with Bobby "Iceman" Drake for the affections of Ilsa (of FROZEN fame)?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that movie but I do intend to try and pair some ice people together.
