Spinning out of Absolute Power, Fire and Ice are having their own Freaky Friday moment as their power flip in the upcoming When Hell Freezes Over mini-series from Joanne Starer and Stephen Byrne.
DC Comics announced the April launch of Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over, a six-issue miniseries in which Fire and Ice are back in Kansas trying to adjust to their new powers.
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 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.”
“As it turns out, the only way to get their original bodies back is to hunt down a mystical artifact in Hell,”concluded Starer. “So, naturally, I’m having them literally fight their way through Hell, side by side. While no prior knowledge is required to pick up the series, our old-school Justice League International fans will remember that Fire and Ice have been to Hell before—so a return trip is extra risky. But these two are willing to gamble it all for each other.”
Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #1 arrives on April 9, 2025.
