The high-action futuristic Western from the writer of THE FLASH and the creator of Empty Zone kicks into high gear! Keaton has managed to get Vic out of Los Angeles, but the trouble is only just starting. The mysterious Boss Burns knows the precious cargo that Vic is carrying, and he wants it for himself. He's put a price on the women's heads, and now all of the nastiest gangs of the frozen American wasteland are barreling down on them, guns drawn and ready to claim the prize.
In a book of nice touches, I could have easily just filled this review with Mr. Freeze style puns and you would probably still pick it up, it's that good. However, with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a story that seems both familiar and fresh, this could be the beginning of an instant classic. Read Full Review
That was awesome! It's like a mix of a gang movie mashed with Mad Max. I can already tell that the characters created are going to be some that will make me want to come back to this comic over and over again. Even on issue three the storyline is laid out easily and within the first half you know exactly what is going on. The art was really cool, a watercolor vibe that painted each scene beautifully. Just when you think there this story leans more towards realistic fiction, you're given wicked ice queens and evil firemen. It was just great overall and easily my book of the week. A Must Read!

Fantastic, dramatic writing from Williamson with deep characters, and fantastic visuals from Alexander. The violence, the unknown of being stuck in an Ice Age screams off of every page. Read Full Review
Frostbite is hard hitting and genuine in its ability to make violence seem meaningful and real. This issue speeds ahead too quickly at times, but it's still well worth your time. Frostbite is gritty real and thrilling. Do not miss it! Read Full Review
Frostbite is the alternate, colder version of Mad Max we didn't know we wanted, but are eternally grateful it exists. Two people are thrown together on a life-or-death road trip. The body count has only grown since they began this trip and it shows no signs of stopping. We'll see how that is affected once secrets start coming to the surface. Read Full Review
The rest of the book is so exciting, I'm not even going to ruin it. Art on this book: strange. It had times that I really liked it, both the coloring and the art style, but I didn't feel the art overall was level across the book. Sometimes I thought it was ugly and sloppy. The story overall was good. I need to find out more about the whole frostbite thing, as far as if it's some virus or if the guy actually has frostbite, which would be awful. The final part of the book with the big action scene was quite good and enjoyable, the art not letting me down at all. I'm also enjoying the whole story taking place in this snowy setting versus some of the more popular apocalyptic future settings. I'm also a really big fan of Joshua Williamson's book Nailbiter, so you know I'll be back for more. Read Full Review
This issue was a bit of a down turn for me. I don't know what exactly made it this way. The story has slowed down a bit and the veneer of this world has begun to wear off. However, it is still a good story and the action fest in the middle was good even if it had been done already by Mad Max: The Road Warrior and Mad Max: Fury Road. I still enjoy it and I don't know what we will get next issue, maybe it will become more survival horror? Anyway I give this issue a… Read Full Review
Frostbite still remains one of the best new limited series from Vertigo Comics currently running. It's definitely a top of the pile read. Read Full Review
Thrilling story by Josh Williamson with great art ny Jason Shawn Alexander. This issue is filled with suspense and action. But what do the Snow Queens do to the men they capture?!
I don't love the art (but it's growing on me and isn't bad), the story isn't too novel or especially clever, but this is good fun and I enjoyed the more Mad Max-ness of this issue. It's moving a bit too quickly at the expense of depth and emotional connection to the characters, but it's fun and not boring. This is a good series so far.
