“Heroes”

In "Heroes," Firestorm #8 (2005), newly empowered Firestorm faces a test of intent when Lorraine Reilly, sent by the Justice League, arrives to assess him. Written by Dan Jolley and illustrated by Jamal Igle, with Rob Stull on inks and Chris Sotomayor handling colors, the issue explores the weight of power and choice—especially when Jason’s desire to help leads to an unexpected consequence. The cover, by Matt Haley, captures the moment’s tension, setting the stage for a story where healing might not be what it seems.
