Despite the story's shortcomings, Kolins delivers visually. The pacing of his scenes and his panel composition go to great lengths to serve the narrative, even if the scenes themselves remain disjointed from one another. For example, the scene in which Cold learns of his father's death is a great sample of both of Kolins' strengths, despite the scene itself feeling isolated and confusing in conjunction with the rest of the book. Mike Atiyeh's colors aren't the best fit for the art either, despite being a recent frequent collaborator. The painterly textures freeze any sense of movement that Kolins puts into his work, and more often than not serves to muddy the images, particularly in lower light scenes. It's not damning to the book overall, but there are quite a few instances where a change in colors would've been a benefit. Read Full Review

Interesting first issue which starts out with a battle between Cold and Mr. Freeze (pretty cool), a revelation that the Rogues are part of this reality as well (more of a miss), and ends with Wally West turned into a frozen Popsicle (okay that's kinda funny). I could have done with far less of the tortured back story, but it's still worth a look. Read Full Review
