THE FURY OF FIRESTORM
On Sale April 1, 2026
Brought to you by the acclaimed team of Jeff Lemire (Absolute Flash, JSA) and Rafael De Latorre (The Penguin), this explosive new series ignites the next major chapter of DC’s Next Level line as The Nuclear Man goes Next Level with Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre!
The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts…experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?
The Fury of Firestorm #1 includes open-to-order card stock variants by Chris Burnham and Riley Rossmo, priced at $4.99 US ($3.99 US main; $6.99 US foil).
Lemire provides a 1:25 incentive variant, while Burnham’s cover will also be available as an open-to-order foil edition. A DC: Next Level variant by Jorge Corona and a blank sketch cover round out the assortment.
