There’s a lot that happens in the world of superheroes everyday, and we at Comic Hero News don’t have the ability to write up a full story about everything, as much as we’d like to. So, we bring you Speeding Bullets – for all of those pieces of news that are fired our way that are worth noticing, but don’t merit a full story in their own right.
- Gail Simone will be leaving the writing team behind Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men as of issue #7. The news came our way thanks to DC Universe: The Source, who also tells us that Joe Harris will be joining Ethan Van Sciver as co-writer.
