SUPERMAN UNIVERSE

Written by JOANNE STARER Art by NATACHA BUSTOS Cover by TERRY DODSON and RACHEL DODSON
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. 152 PGS.

From New York Times bestselling author Grace Ellis (Lumberjanes) and artist Brittney Williams (Goldie Vance) comes a new story about 13-year-old Lois Lane as she navigates the confusing worlds of social media and friendship.
It's the first day of summer break in the sleepy town of Liberty View, and young Lois Lane bursts onto the scene with what she knows is a sure-to-go-viral video channel. Okay, maybe her platform only receives two views a week (thanks, Mom), and maybe her best friend, Kristen, isn't quite as enthusiastic about social media, but when Lois sets her mind on something, there's no turning back.
At the end of the week, the big neighborhood barbecue and bike race will be the perfect backdrop to Lois and Kristen's #friendshipchallenge video. But when the girls find out the annual fireworks are missing, Lois doubles down on her efforts for fame, testing her friendship in ways she couldn't imagine.
With Kristen leaving for sleepaway camp after the barbecue and a new girl on the block taking all of Kristen's attention, will Lois be able to find the missing fireworks, celebrate the summer, and post the best #friendshipchallenge the internet has ever seen? Or will she have to face her challenges IRL? 6 X 9" Format. 160 PGS.
