fire & ice: welcome to smallville

Small town, big trouble! Things go from bad to worse for the iconic Justice League duo of Fire and Ice, as they seek a fresh start in Superman’s hometown.

Things could not possibly be worse for Fire and Ice. Superman sent the former Justice Leaguers packing for Smallville following an extremely public and utterly disastrous mission, 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 biggest villains in the DC Universe to a knock-down, drag-out, live-streamed brawl in the streets of Smallville! Can Fire and Ice’s friendship survive visits from the Multiverse’s weirdest and wildest wannabe villains, Jimmy Olsen’s search for scoops, and... the stress of running a hair salon?!

Fire and Ice: Welcome to Smallville is a raucous, timely, and 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 from writer Joanne Starer (The Gimmick, Sirens of the City) and artist Natacha Bustos (co-creator of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur)!

This volume collects Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1-6 and a backup story from Power Girl Special.
