This feels like a more obvious move for Marvel, since they've got the Norse pantheon on tap, but I unironically and sincerely love Batman's fur lined snowsuit.

Seems interesting enough.

The most immediately interesting part of this is Marz and Lanning's tacking of relevancy onto this " comics for readers who yell ' COMICS! ' at anything in comics that's novel " thing.

(" The Frost King represents how we all grapple with complex problems in the world by making them monocausal, and then solve them forever by defeating that one causer. ")

Black Adam around in the 10th century? I thought he was depowered and exiled millennia before that.

Still, could be fun.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess the beef between Teth and this Frost King started with him trying to kidnap Isis.

remember when multi-series cross over events, 'that will change the course of comics history' WEREN'T immediately back to back with one another?

good times...

[aperturedreams]

Eh, this is looking like much more of a self-contained affair

[kurenai_tenka]

It looks like it is, but we're probably kidding ourselves to think it will be.

I dunno, this seems to be the first event in a while that sounds like fun in a comic book, wild way. I could dig this.

Yeah, I don't even mind those big epic events, but it seems fun to have just kind of crazy big story which doesn't promise to change everything from time to time.

Oh man, I wonder what Odin and the 1,000,000 BC Avengers did to piss off the Frost King!

(off screen whispers)

I mean... Black Adam and the Justice League Vikings!

(I would be behind the Black Adam and the Viking Super Heroes if they didn't automatically call it Justice League Vikings. Still, I'm just being a crotchey old man, good on them for trying something new.)

So that's where I left the Casket of Ancient Winters! /Malekith

Leaving aside the usual griping about crossovers, it's very strange to have this coming so soon after Death Metal with a creative team that's comparatively much less prestigious. Say what you will about Snyder and Capullo's output, but there can be little question that they've been DC superstars for years now, these guys though? Andy Lanning and Ron Marz? I don't relish calling anyone a has-been, but neither of them has exactly been tearing it up within the past five years.

I know some people are looking at Future State as a bit of a filler event, but Endless Winter is the filler event leading up to the filler event, which is a pretty grim position to be in.

When I read the title, I almost expected a Mr. Freeze epic event that required the Justice League team-up against him.
