I don't know that Firestar brings such a large and devoted fanbase with her that her presence could have made a difference. That's not to say that I think it was doomed from the start, but rather that it was always going to be a tough sell. The book could use greater promotion than it gets.
This is truly one of the best books Marvel is currently putting out. It's pure superhero entertainment, with a lot of the feel of the original series and ties to the wider Marvel U. I mean, Wundagore! Who goes to Transia anymore? No one, that's who.
And for the record, I read it for Justice, not Speedball. Poor Vance gets no love, I tell ya...
