Let's see how it ends. Iceman #11 Cover by Kevin Wada Iceman #11 The second series ending, Iceman must track down a powerful mutant while contemplating whether he is ready to lead his own X-Men team This is the finale to Sina Grace and Robert Gill's charming and frosty epic How will it go down? Infinity Countdown #1 cover by Nick Bradshaw Infinity Countdown[...]

Marvel has released a preview for Iceman #11, in stores next week, but more importantly, the issue will apparently feature an ultra-rare facial variant of Rictor, who appears in the comic to chat with Iceman about his career When Rictor was last a regular cast member of an X-book, in X-Factor, he was sporting this[...]

For example, Killer Thrill grabs onto Iceman at one point, seemingly as a human shield However, this is completely dropped when we next return to the fight, where Killer Thrill and Jean Grey are fighting. But, there are still some decent beats to the fight Cyclops' upgraded powers are especially enjoyable to watch. X-Men: Blue #22 art[...]

Venom especially is given some loving detail, and the symbiote forms of Beast, Iceman, and Angel all look good It does shift for the worst when we return to the mercenaries that have the Starjammers, but I doubt the likes of Alex Ross, Adi Granov, or Gabrielle Dell'Otto could make the villains' symbiote designs look[...]

The X-Men and Venom find the symbiote mercenaries that captured the Starjammers. Cyclops is badly hurt in the encounter, and our heroes have to retreat. Is it a good read?

Deadpool #27 (why is there a Spider-Man/Deadpool comic?), Iceman #10, X-Men Gold #21, and X-Men Red #1 Additionally, Venom #161 crosses over with X-Men Blue for the Poison X event, so we'll be covering that as well We barely got through Spider-Man vs Deadpool, so we're happy to be moving onto one of our favorites: Iceman!

They find Judah bleeding out in the foyer and Iceman and Daken, the Son of Wolverine, fighting it out across the mansion. Meanwhile, many of the school's younger students are fighting for their lives in the Danger Room, which has been powered up to a lethal level by Zach, aka Amp He is working with Daken[...]

In X-Men Blue Annual #1, the Starjammers are taken by symbiotes, and this leads the X-Men to recruiting Venom in the hopes he can help. He's resistant, to say the least. Does this make for a good read?

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The X-Men are throwing a going-away party for Iceman, and Bobby is bringing Judah to celebrate Unfortunately, Bobby and Kitty Pryde are still on bad terms. Elsewhere, Daken and Zach are planning something heinous for Iceman, Judah, and the X-Men. Iceman #9 cover by Kevin Wada This is an emotional yet tense chapter in the story of[...]

Since the speculation began, many of the titles that we speculated had received the chop have been confirmed, and even some that we hadn't come to speculate on yet. Books receiving their notice included Generation X, Gwenpool, Luke Cage, Iceman, Hawkeye, and America For me, as I began to see the scale of books affected, one[...]

Walker has had a terrible streak of premature comic cancellations between this, the excellent Occupy Avengers, and the quite good Nighthawk. Power Man and Iron Fist had a decent lifespan, and it only seemed to end so that Marvel could double down on the characters with their own comics. I'm also angry because Marvel is slaughtering books right now, many of[...]

Iceman writer Sina Grace confirmed on Twitter tonight that Iceman has been canceled with March's Iceman #11 Grace's post comes after speculation about the book's future due to the finality of its solicit, as well as the confirmed cancellation of Hawkeye, Generation X, and Gwenpool, as well as the suspected cancellation of America, Luke Cage,[...]

None of the character interactions stand out despite Iceman having some charming moments The art is a mess Unfortunately I can't recommend this trip to 2099 Give it a pass. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] The X-Men have been brought to the year 2099 by Magneto's time machine There, they meet their future counterparts: X-Men 2099 They[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Iceman #8 from Marvel Comics by Sina Grace, Robert Gill, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Joe Sabino continues the look at the adult Iceman's exploration of his new world as an out and proud gay man with a look at something every gay man (and in honesty, everyone) has had: an awkward family dinner. Iceman #8 cpver[...]

Iceman watches the programming the Mojo Network is still putting out Angel and Polaris help Jimmy Hudson train Jean Grey spends time with Beast while he tinkers with his toys This is all interrupted when Magneto is hit with a psychic attack, and he contacts Jean Time is beginning to collapse around these time-displaced X-Men,[...]

With the conclusion to Mojo Worldwide, the X-Men are doing everything they can to shut down Mojo's operation on Earth. Is it a good finale?

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Iceman #7 from Marvel Comics by Sina Grace, Robert Gill, Rachelle Rosenberg and VC's Joe Sabino picks up right where the previous issue left off, with Iceman and the former Champions facing down some make-shift Sentinels that a far more dangerous than your average special effect. Iceman #7 cover by Kevin Wada Continuing the extrapolation of[...]

The teams of X-Men: Blue and X-Men: Gold continue to square off with the machinations of Mojo. Can they survive, and will it make for a good watch?

Storm, Angel, Iceman, and Logan are in the first simulation, Beast, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Jimmy Hudson are in the second, and Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers, Cyclops, and Bloodstorm are in the last. Mojo even uses the word "Legacy" to describe the significance of the scenario he has set up. Now, I feel that it's a[...]

Angel, Storm, Logan, and Iceman are throwing down with Frost Giants for some reason Jean Grey, Beast, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Jimmy Hudson are taking on some variety of demons. Meanwhile, Mojo is broadcasting the battles to the world and loving every minute of it. Alright, time to get some of the broad-strokes plot grievances out of the[...]

The Young Iceman, in an admittedly controversial scene, came out when Jean Grey confronted him about his sexuality While it wasn't her place to define his sexuality for him, in the context of the story, young tactlessness could actually can lead to self-discovery. Young Iceman realising he was gay led to him finding happiness in the[...]

This issue of X-Men: Blue brings Goblin Queen's plan to its climax while Wolverine Jr. and Angel fight the Blob. Does this make for a good read though?

They've already caught Magneto, Polaris, and Iceman, and Beast is under the Goblin Queen's thrall. Jean Grey and Cyclops must survive long enough to find help to save their friends and allies. Meanwhile, Jimmy Hudson and Angel are half a world away investigating how Jimmy came into this world They're on the verge of a breakthrough on[...]

And I LOVED him as a Thunderbolt. That's why I decided to pick up Iceman #5 I was not prepared for what I'd actually get. Bobby Drake has come out to his traditionalist parents They're on the verge of a meltdown, and Bobby is trying not to do the same while explaining everything to them. Unfortunately, the Juggernaut[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Iceman has hit its stride now; this much is obvious The last few issues have been powerful, fun, incredibly deep, and full of heart — none more so than the new Iceman #5. Iceman #5 cover by Marco D'Alfonso Iceman #5 picks up where the last issue left off, with Bobby Drake having finally come out[...]

Iceman is training with Danger, and the relationship isn't going particularly well Magneto is trying to convince his daughter, Polaris, to stay with his team Angel and Jimmy Hudson are trying to figure out how the latter came into this world Meanwhile, Cyclops and Jean Grey have a permanent psychic connection, and they must come[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Iceman #3 by Sina Grace, Alessandro Vitti and Rachelle Rosenberg is really the cornerstone issue for the series thus far. This issue follows the night that Bobby Drake goes home to visit the parents, ostensibly to come out to them as a newly minted gay man, Instead, Bobby finds himself facing the same kind of[...]

Townsend points out you need to show your support with your dollars, because if one film does well, Hollywood will jump on it and make a dozen more. Grace goes on to discuss Iceman, and just says how he's an X-Men fan, so he just decided to take the DNA of those books and take things[...]

If you like Secret Empire, you’ll enjoy this. If you like X-Men: Blue, it at least makes its own protagonists look heroic. Otherwise, give this one a pass.

Young Bobby Drake is reuniting with his older self's former friends in Iceman #6 from the creative team of Sina Grace and Robert Gill for Marvel Legacy this Fall. Cover by Kevin Wada When Marvel Legacy comes to Iceman's solo comic, the chilly hero will travel with X-Men buddy Angel to Los Angeles to visit with Hercules,[...]
