Fire and Ice are a dynamite duo ready to take the world by storm. Unfortunately for them, they’ve been sent to Smallville by the Man of Steel himself after an embarrassingly public mission failure. Ice — Tora Olafsdotter — quickly adapts to the quiet life of Smallville, dreaming of a peaceful existence away from superheroics. However, Fire — Beatriz da Costa — cannot imagine leaving the hero circuit behind. It doesn’t take long for Fire to find a way to heat up the quaint life in Smallville. Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1, written by Joanne Starer with art by Natacha Bustos, colors by Tamra Bonvillain, and letters by Ariana Maher, is a wildly fun first issue diving into a decades-long friendship.After a rather public fumbling of a mission in the pages of the recent Power Girl Special #1, Superman decided to send Fire and Ice to Smallville for a bit of a reset. The duo sign a lease to rent out an old salon with apartments above it and begin to plot out their new life. This midlife crossroads hits Fire and Ice differently. It takes little time for Ice to embrace the laid-back life of the small town. Fire, on the other hand, can’t stand the idea of not being a superhero. This conflict creates compelling, organic tension between the pair and propels the issue forward.Starer crafts a fun, light-hearted issue that reads like a breeze. It will likely be many readers’ first exposure to these characters, and Starer makes sure to give readers all the backstory they need. The issue is laugh-out-loud funny at various points, making full use of the circumstances Fire and Ice find themselves in. Both characters’ motivations are compelling and understandable. Fire can’t imagine throwing away decades worth of crime-fighting experience and the ability to help people. Ice has died before, and the appeal to settle down for a normal, quiet life makes total sense for her. Their interpersonal conflict tracks perfectly with their personalities without providing any easy answers.RELATED: Dawn Of DC Fire And Ice Has Its Roots In Giffen’s Justice League International
