...please bring back Gehenna. And have Mikhail around in some capacity, assuming the pre-Flashpoint history is restored.
That's all, not asking for much.

I seriously wonder what they're going to do with Firestorm.
I think Ronnie is still Firestorm but he's been pretty much MIA aside from a cameo in a one-off comic.
Nothing really came out of him being on that Rebirth splash page. Killer Frost has arguably gotten a bigger push then he has (and she's one of his villains ).
Tell us a little more about why Gehenna matters so much to you?
I'm a bit old school. *MY* Firestorm is Ostrander's Fire Elemental. There's a lot that's been added in more recent years, so I'm curious what Gehenna means and offers *YOUR* Firestorm.
I was a fan back when it was Jason Rusch. I liked the character at this point more than any other version.
One thing that was never clear throughout all the Firestorms was the power levels. It's like there was nothing he wasn't capable of. And if that's the case, how could you write that? He could pretty much turn anything into anything.
I just remember wanting a more streamlined and defined explanation of his abilities.
Didn't Gerry Conway basically restore the original status quo of "Ronnie + Martin = Firestorm" while writing Jason completely out of the Firestorm matrix? Unless somebody decides to completely jettison that, it's highly unlikely Gehenna will ever be seen again.
I LOVED the elemental era. Looked forward to every issue.
I just like the character, her origin, the powerset, and I have a soft spot for innocent characters who die while completely helpless to defend themselves. I dunno, a cool character who died and I felt bad for her.

I am one of the few who actually liked the Nu52 series where it was Jason and Ronnie. I wish they had kept them linked instead of brining back Stein. I always thought it would have been interesting if each time Ronnie and Jason merged they never knew who was going to be in the drivers seat. One time it would be Jason and the next Ronnie.
Firestorm is one of my favorite characters ever. It sucks that I probably won't see him again.
I absolutely LOVED the Jason-era of the character. Before then, the only stories I had really read were the back-up stories in the Flash. (Thanks DC implosion)
I always loved the look of the character but found the stories kinda bland.
I would be happy to see Jason/Stein/Ronnie return!

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
I'm currently wrapping up a re-read of the this Firestorm series and Ostrander's run is as great as I remembered it. I'm not a big fan of the Fire Elemental take on the character, though--I'd much prefer Martin/Ronnie. That said, Ostrander's Firestorm remains an all-time favorite run of mine.
