'Frostbite #1' by Joshua Williamson with art by Luis Nict and Jason Alexander takes place in a future where a second ice age has hit the planet. I got cold just reading it.
Keaton and her gang live in Mexico City, where along with extreme cold, there is a disease called frostbite that seems to be contagious. People have to pay for heat with credits and Keaton's gang is looking for a way to make credits and stay warm. They get the chance when a doctor and his daughter need a ride up North to Alcatraz. What they don't tell Keaton is they are being hunted by a dangerous group of people who want to stop the doctor and his daughter.
I like the premise and it gets off to a fast start. I like the world and premise that is set up by this issue. I didn't feel like I got an info dump or felt like I was missing anything. The story and art work for this story. Overall it's not bad and I'd like to read more.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.

a new ice age. that beneficial scientific endeavors created. gritty. life on the ice is gritty. fantastic post apocalyptic sci-fi romp ala Van Damme's Cyborg.(love that movie SO much) the narrative is crisp. the art. man oh man, the art. jason shawn alexander has definitely matriculated at the Kent Williams school or art and had Jae Lee as a mentor there. I NEED to see more of Luis NCT monochromatic washes, too. immediately added more of their work to the to read list.
