Things could not possibly be worse for Fire and Ice, in Beatriz da Costa’s professional opinion. Superman sends the former Justice Leaguers packing for Smallville following an extremely public and utterly disastrous rescue mission (that was all Guy Gardner’s fault, thank you very much) and in doing so doomed them to a fate worse than death: irrelevance.
Unexpectedly, 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 out of dodge and back on the hero circuit including challenging the DCU’s biggest villains to a knock-down, drag-out, livestreamed brawl in the streets of Smallville!
A raucous, timely, unflinching comedy from rising star Joanne Starer (The Gimmick, Sirens of the City) and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur co-creator Natacha Bustos about a decades-long friendship on the brink of disaster and what it means to be a superhero at a crossroads in your life, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville launches from its Justice League International roots and introduces the iconic duo to a new generation of fans! Collects Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1-6.

A stunning collection of one of the most thought-provoking Superman stories of all time!

Lois tries to ease her husband back into a life he’s nearly forgotten, but Clark has a very different agenda: finding a way back to the distant world he barely escaped…to finish a seemingly impossible job for Superman! The Eisner Award-nominated Deathstroke team of Christopher Priest and Carlo Pagulayan reunite for a Superman epic unlike any other. Collects Superman: Lost #1-10.
