>why?
Because the writers and editors at DC are casuals who only know three settings.
L-RON is there too.
Because the writer have never been outside of America and only know how to write stereotypical farmers and etc.
Because the writer wanted to have the ladies in a farm, what's wrong with that?
But they can only do that in Smallville?
Would you rather they do it in some new original small hick town?
Yes. Constantly reusing the same 5 locations makes the world seem fricking tiny.
If they did, I feel like other people would complain that they aren't using their already established locations like Smallville.
At the end of the day, they just wanted to put Fire and Ice in Smallville specifically, the Kents apparently have a role in this series, and you can only have them in Smallville.
>you can only have them in Smallville.
Damn that makes me ache for a book where the Kents do just travel around the world and they pretty much just provide local superheroes support.
Isn’t the premise that Fire and Ice did something stupid so now they are in hiding ?
Is DC actually making Human Target canon by having them be murderers?
No, but they are making Guy a canon woman beater.
>but they are making Guy a canon woman
Yesss
>-beater
Oh nvm then
>but they are making Guy a canon woman
Return to the 90s.
And be sure to visit the world trade center on 09/11/2001
>turn guy back into a babe
>have him get into a lesbo poly with fire and ice
>have them all go topless on the beach
Nothing seems to suggest they're turning guy abusive, but all we have right now from his appearance in the book is this, and he looks like a twink, so who knows?
>The backup story is an introductory tale. Fire and Ice respond to a natural disaster in Baltimore, debating whether to involve Ice’s old flame Guy Gardner. When Guy causes some major drama at the scene, Superman gets involved to stop the fight.
Superman needing to step in to stop a fight between Ice and Guy isn't exactly leaving me hopeful.
Guy gets het up really easily, and does have a history of clashing with Superman (sort of). But the idea that you need anyone but Ice to get him to slow his roll is, bizarre. And its especially shitty because of his recent outright character assassination in whichever Tom King misery porn comic that made the rounds, a while ago.
It's Guy's turn for his character to get fricked with?
>Over 20 fricking years of growth and content of that trio
>Just another "Hurr remember JLI? Isn't Guy a jerk?" writer
Seriously. Guy is brash but he's grown out of his total jerkass phase. Can he be an ass? Sure but it's more wise ass than malicious scumbag.
Guy has always been easy target for this shit. They wanted him to be Mary Marvel's first back during that JLI special in the 10s.
Thank God they didn't follow through with that
Oh, he's giving her the Hank Pym special.
I'm fine with Fire and Ice in Smallville, it's not like any other hero was already there or something, I'm not even sure if we've had any modern day books completely take place there, it's usually all just flashbacks or short visits.
What I'm NOT fine with is Hawkgirl's book taking place in Metropolis, that's place has all the Supers AND Martian Manhunter, Kendra should've gone to Midway City or something.
as long as they aren't gay and its funny I don't mind...But I assume it will suck
It's written by a woman, so I have no hope.
dang
That being said, I don't know who could write a good comedic Fire and Ice adventure anyways
Giffen/DeMatties, Gray/Palmiotti, Prime Peter David, maybe Christopher Priest?
>Giffen/DeMatties,
I love these guys but do they still "have it" ?
If DC didn't make them gay in the Valentine's anthology they had a story in then I don't think they'll be made gay here. If the comic was starting in June then maybe, but it is starting in September.
>I don't think they'll be made gay here
I don't know, there's nothing more gay then being a farmer.
Being on Cinemaphile
Goku is gay?

i don't have much hope that it will be a good comic, but it at least seems like the writer won't be attempting to sabotage the characters.
who's the writer?
Joanne Starer, a literal who.
