The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 13 (June 1983)
Firestorm is turning into a were-hyena and his plan is to go to Africa to find the cure. Why doesn’t he call the Justice League and have the many scientist super heroes help him? Because Conway wants...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 14 (July 1983)
Until the silly eighties toys show up at the end–the villain rides around in absurd tank–it’s a decent enough issue. Well, the villain–Enforcer (Conway remembering his old Spider-Man days perhaps)–is...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 15 (August 1983)
Conway and Broderick do exceedingly well on the action part of the issue. The first half has Firestorm having to get free from Multiplex and then fight him and Enforcer. It’s a great action scene,...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 16 (September 1983)
Conway tries for something new to the series–Ronnie and Martin interacting face to face when Martin’s in his Firestorm mode (when Professor Stein is the floating head advising Firestorm, it’s his...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 17 (October 1983)
As many problems as Broderick has been having on the art lately, it’s nothing compared to George Tuska, who does the first half of the issue. Maybe it’s Rodriguez’s who’s lazy because there’s no...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 18 (November 1983)
Tuska takes over all the pencilling this issue, for better or worse. Usually worse, though at least he’s consistent between his superhero art and his civilian art. He’s also got some really silly...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man Annual 1 (November 1983)
Strengths and weaknesses. This first Firestorm annual has a bunch of each. Oddly, Conway seems a lot more comfortable plotting out a double-size issue–maybe if all the issues had this much room, the...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 20 (February 1984)
Conway gets through most of the issue before the problem becomes clear–he doesn’t have much of a story. He hints at future stories, with Ronnie having girlfriend troubles, Lorraine Reilly (Firehawk...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 21 (March 1984)
There’s some more Killer Frost misandry goofiness. But not enough to impair the issue–what’s strangest about Killer Frost as the issue opens is how Conway sets her against another female scientist. He...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 23 (May 1984)
Conway edits himself on Firestorm, which might by why no one told him having the female businessperson use “she” instead of “one” (referring to a hypothetical lawyer) sounds both sexist and dumb. Evil...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 26 (August 1984)
Not much happens this issue past cliffhanger resolution, the villains teaming up with the Soviets and Lorraine and her father doing their every issue recap of his career problems. In some ways, it’s...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 27 (September 1984)
Paul Kupperberg fills in writing the last arc of the Black Bison and Silver Deer arc–which I affectionately call “the attack of the Native American super-terrorists.” Silver Deer proves so evil she...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 28 (October 1984)
And now it's Joey Cavalieri scripting from a Conway plot. The most visible change in the scripting is the personality Cavalieri gives Firestorm's two sides. Martin is dismissive of how Ronnie does...

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 29 (November 1984)
It’s Firestorm versus three really lame villains, one angry businesswoman and one angry high school classmate. I’m not sure what Cavalieri is trying to do–except further the problems with the series....

The Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Man 49 (July 1986)
It’s sort of a goofy issue, with Firestorm’s lawsuit ending in the first scene, then the rest of the issue is the Moonbow story. Conway continues the Marvel vibe–maybe it’s because Moonbow (a female...
