Preview: Ice Age: Iced In
New from BOOM! Studios’ KaBoom line this week is Ice Age: Iced In, a 24-page comic based on the 2002 movie Ice Age. The movie may be old, but the comic is fresh and lively, with a script by Caleb Monroe and art by Braden Lamb and Shelli Paroline, who will be illustrating KaBoom’s Adventure Time comics later this year.
Ice Age: Iced In has a simple plot that finds Sid, Manny, and Diego trapped in a cave due to an avalanche and forced to rely on their wits to survive. Here’s a five-page preview; as you read it, watch the squirrel at the top of the page—he becomes a big part of the story later on. (Click images to enlarge.)
