Fire & Ice When Hell Freezes Over (2025)

SPINNING OUT FROM THE PAGES OF ABSOLUTE POWER AND THE DC ALL IN SPECIAL! In the pages of DC's Absolute Power event, Fire and Ice had finally achieved what Fire always wanted. The dynamic duo made a glorious return to the ranks of the Justice League--and during a major world crisis, no less! But when the crisis was overcome, the smoke had cleared, and all the superpowers were restored, Ice found herself shooting off uncontrollable spurts of fire, and Fire had ice crystals forming at her fingertips. Oops. 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 & Ice: Welcome to Smallville writer Joanne Starer teams up with fan-favorite artist Stephen Byrne, returning Fire and Ice to Kansas for another raucous romp full of heart and humor in the midst of their own personal hell!

IT'S A FREAKY FRIDAY MIX-UP! First their powers are stuck in the wrong bodies--Ice is shooting flames while Fire's bringing early snow to Kansas. But then, during a chaotic night of karaoke, Fire makes a daring wish on a magic artifact she finds in Zatanna's hat: get the right powers back in the right bodies. And her wish works...technically. Because now they're body-swapped. And still stuck with the wrong powers. That's right--it's Freaky Friday for Fire and Ice!

FIRE AND ICE MAKE A DEMONIC DEAL! With their powers still haywire and dang near everyone in Smallville now body-swapped, Fire and Ice must make a deal with the Demon to chase the key to their salvation--a ring that once belonged to the Lords of Order last seen in the bowels of Hell.

FIRE AND ICE CONTINUE THEIR QUEST THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD! Fire and Ice can go to hell! And...they sure did, in dogged pursuit of a magical artifact that can finally set their body-and-power swap right. But they'll find that hell is delighted to have two willing, living souls enter its fiery gates--with tests designed to break them down physically, emotionally, and spiritually waiting on the other side. Meanwhile a turbo-charged Gorilla Grodd lands in Smallville with murder on the mind...but his primary target, little sister Linka, is currently trapped in the body of the very human local bartender Charlie Rhodes! Will Smallville survive its wildest ruckus yet?

CAN ICE RESIST TEMPTATION?! Fire and Ice's loyalties are put to the test in the bowels of Hell as the demon Beelzebub presents Ice with the chance to rescue her long-dead mother and restore her to life--but at what terrible cost? Meanwhile, Fire fights her personal demons and the overwhelming sense that maybe she belongs in Hell...forever!

THE FIERY FINAL ISSUE! Breaking into Hell is one thing--clawing your way back out is another thing entirely. But Ice already escaped Hell's clutches once before, and it might not be so eager to let her go again...
