Justice League Of America #7 Review: Killer Frost's Redemption

I've enjoyed Killer Frost in the comics. I'll be upfront, though — I only started paying attention to her during The New 52, specifically 2013's "Villains Month". So for me, Caitlin is Killer Frost. I'm not discounting the previous two, but I'm just not that familiar with them. I generally like Caitlin. She's never been a true bad guy, and in this JLA story line, it's clear she's trying to become a better person.

In Justice League of America #7, Killer Frost and The Atom are looking for a way to cure her of her heat sickness, when suddenly they're ambushed by Terrorsmith. Frost steps up to the plate, and though to the dismay of the Atom, she does what she does best: freeze people. She did so in the name of good, though, so she can't really be all that bad.

I personally like the way Steve Orlando is writing both Frost and Atom. They have real chemistry, and it's clear there's a lot of trust between them. I'm inclined to think the Atom has a crush on Frost, as well. He even admits he works well with her, and it's a very sweet moment between the two.

Frost is still coming to terms with what's going on with her, but she handles it with grace and dignity. Watching her take down Terrorsmith with what she describes as a living nightmare is perfect.

Jamal Campbell's art is modern and fun. His closeups on Frost's face are beautiful, and his action sequences are fluid and easy to follow. The colors in this issue are also beautiful. Frost stands out in every scene, but her color palette is a lot brighter than her surroundings. She's a beacon in a boring, dull world, and she's just overall pleasing to look at. The Atom's color scheme is also great, but pales in comparison. Overall, the look of Justice League of America is great, and as long as they don't switch artists, I'll keep getting this series.
