The Return of the Vostok is the title of a one-off online comic strip based upon Torchwood published exclusively on the official website of Watch, a digital cable network in the UK. The strip, which was created in conjunction with Torchwood Magazine, was published to promote the broadcast of Torchwood Season 2 on the network.
The Doctor Who News Page report announcing the comic named the strip Ice Monsters however the Watch official website named it The Return of the Vostok leading to some confusion over its actual title.

[edit] Summary
While out for some ice skating, the Torchwood 3 team discover a menace lurking at the bottom of a frozen pond. Creatures known as Vostok are threatening to bring about a new Ice Age. Their biology allows them to literally suck the warmth out of an environment, but Jack suggests they may be attacking Cardiff intentionally. He believes they mean to use the Rift to "broadcast" an Ice Age back through time, thereby allowing them to substantially rewrite human history. The team race against the sudden cold snap to find a way to overcome the threat. In the end, Jack and Owen lead the Vostok to a disused Cardiff warehouse that's been doused with fuel. Once there, a simple lit match dispenses with the Vostok threat.
