Deron GenerallyDC today announced a new six-issue All In comic book miniseries by writer Joanne Starer and artist Stephen Byrne, Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over, spinning out from the pages of Absolute Power and the DC All In Special. Fire and Ice, DC’s hottest (and coldest) leading ladies, are back! But they’re not exactly themselves!
Prior to Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over launching in April, as seen in the pages of DC’s Absolute Power, Fire and Ice had finally achieved what Fire always wanted: the dynamic duo made a glorious return to the ranks of the Justice League—and during a major world crisis, no less! But when the crisis was overcome, the smoke had cleared, and all the superpowers were restored, Ice found herself shooting off uncontrollable spurts of fire, and Fire had ice crystals forming at her fingertips. Oops!
“Fire and Ice’s last series, Welcome to Smallville, really focused on the ladies figuring out how their friendship worked when they weren’t saving the world,” said Starer, “and of course there was a lot of conflict that came with that. With this new series, I wanted to showcase how well Bea and Tora understand each other and how strong they are when they work together.”
With their powers switched and no solution in sight, Fire and Ice tuck tail and regroup in Smallville, where they realize their predicament makes them something worse than has-been heroes: menaces to the local community they’ve come to love. But Fire’s always got a plan, no matter how shortsighted! And when she goes digging around in Zatanna’s bag of tricks for a quick fix in the middle of karaoke night…what could possibly go wrong? Aside from, y’know, everything. Again.
Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville writer Joanne Starer teams up with fan-favorite artist Stephen Byrne, returning Fire and Ice to Kansas for another raucous romp full of heart and humor in the midst of their own personal hell! Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 will publish on April 9 with a main cover by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson and variant covers by David Nakayama, Jeff Dékal and Kevin Wada (1:25). Visit your local comic book shop to preorder Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 and add Fire and Ice’s new DC All In six-issue comic book series to a pull list.
