Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville

[Frontier]

I like that Fire still appears to have clothes on when she's in "Flame on" mode. Impressive that she's able to turn a tidal wave into steam, because if she doesn't get that water hot enough, it'll just become hot water, which would melt right through Ice's barricade.

Yeah I think the days of Fire turning flame on nude are over. I like how they showed her controlling parts of her flame as she holds Ice in non-flame mode while flying.

It feels like they're kind of in-between. Like it doesn't look like she's actually wearing pants when she's like that but the top half is obviously present.

That's cute. I could see Ice falling in love with overalls and straw hats.

Looks like Batman stopped by just long enough to punch Guy out again.

Who knew the JLI members made for great album covers ?

So that's why this comic has a subtitle! Dynamite has a comic called Fire & Ice too.

Things could not possibly be worse for Fire and Ice, in Beatriz da Costa’s professional opinion. Superman sent the former Justice Leaguers packing for Smallville following an extremely public and utterly disastrous mission (that was all Guy Gardner’s fault, thank you very much) and in doing so doomed them to a fate worse than death: irrelevance.

Ice finds herself drawn to the quiet life and dreams of planting roots. But Fire…well, Fire will do just about anything to get the heck outta Dodge and back on the hero circuit—including challenging the DCU’s biggest villains to a knock-down, drag-out, live-streamed brawl in the streets of Smallville!

A raucous, timely, unflinching comedy about a decades-long friendship on the brink of disaster and what it means to be a superhero at a crossroads in your life, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville reintroduces the iconic duo to the Dawn of DC, in a series from rising star Joanne Starer (The Gimmick, Sirens of the City) and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur co-creator Natacha Bustos!

Uh, these aren't redesigns.

Uh, these aren't redesigns.

More like "artist reinterpretation."

The changes to their costumes are very subtle. Fire now has flames on the arms of her jacket, and Ice now has fringe instead fur on the cuffs of her boots.

I may have to try to get that Maguire cover. That's awesome.

A little bit from SDCC...

"I read everything that Tom King writes, which I'm only saying because he's not here," Joanne says, adding that she hasn't read Human Target because she doesn't want it to impact what she's doing with Fire & Ice. "But we do have a Greg Smallwood cover on Fire & Ice #2...!"

That's probably for the best, since Human Target was clearly OOC. However, I am looking forward to that Smallwood cover!
