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.
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!

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.
