While I enjoyed writing about Firestorm, I felt it was time to move on to something new. When I started the site in January 2009, Firestorm had been reduced to a minor character.  His monthly series had been canceled for a third time, and he was a junior member of the Justice League of America.  It was easy to keep up with his appearances and I could spend lots of time focused on his history.  I liked that formula.  Nowadays Firestorm is practically mainstream, appearing in DC\u2019s number one selling comic Brightest Day.  With rumors abound of a new Firestorm ongoing series, I felt it was time to move on before it became too difficult to keep up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">B\u2019wana Beast has always been my favorite character and after searching around the web I haven\u2019t been able to find an active blog dedicated to the character.  I decided it was time to bid Firestorm a fond farewell and follow my heart.  Thus was born <strong><a title=\"B'wana Beast's Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/firestormfan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">B\u2019WANA BEAST\u2019S BLOG<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/firestormfan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"B'wana Beast's Blog\" src=\"http:\/\/firestormfan.com\/images\/bb-bwanabeast.jpg\" alt=\"B'wana Beast's Blog\" width=\"455\" height=\"647\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At <strong><a title=\"B'wana Beast's Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/firestormfan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">B&#8217;WANA BEAST&#8217;S BLOG<\/a><\/strong> I\u2019ll discuss all things about the character.
