Firestorm/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The introduction of Ronnie-era enemies and especially allies to the Jason Rusch run, and the eventual resurrection of Ronnie. (The temporary resurrection was this as well, but also had a Yank the Dogs Chain reaction due to the "temporary" aspect).
 * Dork Age: Arguably the elemental/environmental-themed era under John Ostrander
 * Growing the Beard: After its initial writer was replaced, the Jason Rusch series started being a bit more light-hearted while also working at making Jason a more likable character
 * Replacement Scrappy: Jason in the eyes of some fans.
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: Jason, as he started to mature in his own series, acting more heroic and getting his act together
