DC Comics announced that the DC Next Level series The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael de Latorre will continue through issue #15, extending the reimagining with six additional issues as #6 arrived in comic shops. Colorist Marcelo Maiolo and letterer Lucas Gattoni remain on the expanded run, which DC says will continue into 2027.
Lemire’s quote on the official blog frames the book as a “dream project that just keeps giving,” comparing the expanding plot to the Firestorm matrix itself. He also teased that if readers thought the end of issue 6 was wild, more is coming. ICv2 notes the series launched as a six-issue plan, stretched to eight with the #3 solicitation, then to nine with the #8 solicitation, before this jump to fifteen — a sales-and-creative success story rather than a quiet soft reboot.
Trade and calendar context from secondary wraps: Popverse reports a collection of the first six issues is slated for March 2027, with #7 dated into late October on some shop calendars; those dates sit outside DC’s short blog post, so treat them as reported retail calendar notes rather than new first-party locks in this draft. The creative take remains a horror-tinged reimagining of Ronnie Raymond / Firestorm under the Next Level banner, not a return to a classic team book format.

What we are not saying: no claim the series is now an ongoing open-ended monthly forever, no invented Absolute Firestorm street date from this extension, and no assertion that earlier “of 8” / “of 9” solicit labels were false — they were interim counts before this six-issue add-on.
