Some thoughts about Fire & Ice #4

What is happening in Smallville?

Lobo has just arrived to make the lives of Fire and Ice even more complicated and things are not going to get any easier once that people in the town start to get more violent.

Better than the last issue at the very least.

Joanne Starer offers a new chapter where she tries to fix the relationship between Bea and Tora while making everyone around them a little worse. Once again, I do dig the characterization, especially the dynamic between the protagonists since they still seem on-point for the most part and is good to know that despite of their differences, they still try to maintain their friendship.

The plot is still not amazing since it continues to revolve around the D-list supervillains and while Lobo makes things a bit more interesting, is still not enough to make me invested in the story. About the rest of the cast, I still dislike everytime the new employee appears (and I couldn't care less about her relationship) and is weird that Rocky started to develop a really toxic personality (and yes, this is probably the closest we're getting to a love triangle involving Fire and Ice so far).

Natacha Bustos' art is still perfect for this book since the semi-cartoony style gets the best from every character's expressions.

Fine issue, hope things keep improving.
