Publisher Description.  DC Comics announced that Zatanna by Jamal Campbell and The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre will expand DC’s Next Level initiative in April, spotlighting bold, creator-forward comics that put fan-favorite characters into the hands of some of the industry’s most exciting talent.  As DC: All In enters its second act, these Next Level launches stand alongside major new storylines across DC’s ongoing and limited series within its main universe and Absolute universe, expanding the scope and the future of DC’s storytelling.

The Fury of Firestorm – The Nuclear Man goes Next Level with Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre!  First issue arrives April 1, 2026
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?

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.

The Fury of Firestorm #1 includes open-to-order card stock variants by Chris Burnham and Riley Rossmo, priced at $4.99 U.S. ($3.99 U.S. main; $6.99 U.S. foil).  Jeff 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.
