Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1

/ / Comics

A follow-up to Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, a new mini-series kicks off with Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 setting the two heroes (who are struggling with their swapped powers) in New Kooey. Most of the issue involves showcasing the town and Ice struggling with not understanding her new more destructive fire powers. Fire seems a bit more in control but at a loss on what to do with her new ice-based powers.

The suicide mission of invading Themyscira begins. All things considered, Harley Quinn‘s insane plan works as the Birds of Prey are able to sneak onshore from the ocean and Black Canary is successfully able to find Sin. However, there are some unexpected twists involving Zealot making a pact with the island, Barda loosing her favorite thumping stick, and Green Arrow distracting Wonder Woman from events on the island not going exactly as planned.
