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,[...]

We know that Gamora is looking for the Soul Gem, and the cover showed seems to suggest that maybe the galaxy's greatest (?) thieves might be on the hunt of the whole set. Hawkeye's 'Family Reunion' might be a double meaning, as Kate Bishop Hawkeye meets back up with Clint Barton Hawkeye, but will also continue[...]

Iceman #2 reads like a classic X-Men comic – one that has superheroics and soap-opera melodrama all rolled in one And like a classic X-Men story, or even soap opera, it's not without some slightly problematic elements. Cover by Kevin Wada Concerning an adventure with the titular hero and his ex-girlfriend from before he came out, Kitty[...]

The closest would be Daken, a bisexual man, during Dark Reign, whose run in the role of Dark Wolverine was naturally going to be limited. This is all set to change with Iceman #1, written by Sina Grace and art by Alessandro Vitti (with a gorgeous cover by Kevin Wada). It's somewhat remarkable that Iceman has never[...]

I wouldn't know. The banter is still pretty enjoyable, with Iceman being in his usual comedic form I enjoy his character quite a bit Also, the joke about there being multiple Wolverines was pretty funny, considering Jimmy would make the third one running around in 616 right now. The fight between the X-Men and Jimmy Hudson was[...]

Cover by Kevin Wada We've been promised a brand new, first-time ongoing for Iceman as part of Marvel's ResurrXion plans since the very start, and we are now edging ever closer to Sina Grace and Alessandro Vitti's new series hitting the shelves One featuring a gay male protagonist, no less. So far, most of the previews have[...]

Well, after the week since the release of X-Men Gold #1 and the controversy that the book and big ResurrXion relaunch found itself mired in, it's easy to

Funko has announced their next speciality series Pop figure, and it will be the X-Men's Iceman It was really just a matter of time after the SDCC exclusive Dorbz and Mystery Mini figures He will have a blue translucent ice base and a sweet blue paint job on the figure He will only be available[...]

Naturally, I am pretty much already on one side of this conflict (let the mutants win!). Now, some stuff which people may not know: I was not a fan of the Young Iceman/Romeo romance plot added in a recent issue of All New X-Men Not because Romeo is Inhuman (though the plot was such an obvious[...]

From bi and pansexual representation (Harley Quinn, Catwoman) to gay male representation (The Ray, Iceman, Red Racer, Stallion), and queer icons too (Wonder Woman) Of my personal weekly stack, that is just over 64% of the books I read. Obviously, the overall percentage of representation in the total list of released books in this one week[...]

By Joe Glass, Bleeding Cool's Senior Mutant Correspondent  Marvel have decided to release more details (barely) to Entertainment Weekly, about the changes

By Joe Glass, Bleeding Cool's Senior Mutant Correspondent  Teaser by Kevin Wada Well, another day, another ResurrXion X-Men reveal (which means we're inching closer to the Generation X reveal which may make or break this relaunch for me). This time we have Iceman, the first solo book for this original X-Man, but also Marvel's first ongoing gay male[...]

By Joe Glass Marvel have teased their first new X-Men title as part of the upcoming Resurrxion, and it's an Iceman solo title. And my first immediate reaction is to scream 'YAY' followed by 'It's about damn time'. In terms of letting books be lead by LGBTQ characters, Marvel has been somewhat lacking When they did have books,[...]

Hell, GLAAD have started the hashtag #HollywoodMustDoBetter given the current incredible lack of positive LGBTQ visibility in cinema and resurgence of troubling 'gay panic' storylines. Well, it seems me and GLAAD aren't the only ones. Shawn Ashmore, who brought to life popular X-Men character Iceman a.k.a Bobby Drake in four of the X-Men movies, has recently come[...]

We recently saw how the modern day, newly out Iceman was dealing with those around him And maybe sharing a vibe with a certain inhuman… Well, the younger-but-still-the-same-person-timey-wimey Iceman who has also just come out, isn't quite as lucky. To be fair, he has pretty much the same luck he had with members of the same sex as he did[...]

Recently Jean Grey pointed out to Young Iceman that he was gay, through some rather invasive casual telepathy Then Young Iceman pointed out to Not-Quite-As-Young Iceman that they were both probably gay, and Not-Quite-As-Young Iceman agreed. In today's Extraordinary X-Men, Not-Quite-As-Young Iceman has a conversation with New X-Men and Young X-Men member Anole Note the hands-behind-back stiffness. As[...]

out this week. A man in danger… A held hand and a superheroic saving of the day… And a surprising look, revelation and definite eye contact. Iceman is newly out He has never had a boyfriend to our knowledge Could this young gentlemen be his first? Will people accept it given that he's, you know… Inhuman? The new Romeo And[...]

and the Iceman plot-line Iceman, for years, has had hints and breadcrumbs left that there is more to this character than simple class-clown, heart of the X-Men archetype that we have most often seen him portrayed as There has often been hinted that there is something dark inside him, eating him up inside, but never really[...]

And you can hear him recite it to BBC Radio 4's The Today Programme this morning to promote his graphic memoir by Peter David and Colleen Doran. No, no mention of Steve Ditko, obviously. But he was also asked about Iceman being outed as gay recently in the All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men comics And it came[...]

We teased it a little but gay-focussed website/magazine has been handed the scene from the middle of tomorrow's Uncanny X-Men #600 by Marvel PR folk…. In the three-page exclusive preview of Uncanny X-Men #600 below, young Drake confronts his older self about his sexuality, and the truth behind which way the original Iceman swings is finally revealed.   And[...]

Finally, As well as the main story by Brian Bendis, Sara Pichelli, Mahmud Asrar, Stuart Immonen, Kris Anka, Chris Bachalo, David Marquez and Frazer Irving, we get a reprint of the Iceman story from Bizarre Adventures #27 by Mary Jo Duffy, George Perez and Alfredo Alcala in its original black and white. Much has been made about[...]

Today, we have a lot of Marvel news coming through about their All-New All-Different Marvel relaunch in October. Such as Dennis Hopeless and Mark Bagley relaunch All-New X-Men, starting in October. So Bendis may be gone, but his influence with Mark Bagley will be felt. With the young Beast, Cyclops, the X-23 Wolverine, Iceman… and Archangel[...]

We loved it when Batman Eternal did its title drop. The more tortuous the better. Well today, two comic books go for broke. First, it's Robin, Son Of

Today's All-New X-Men doesn't follow up on the headline making news of the last issue, where the younger Bobby Drake Iceman, taken from the past to the present, was outed by Jean Grey as a gay young man – even though his adult self is not gay Leading to all sorts of questions, outrage, discussion[...]

Things have certainly moved forward since that scene written by Scott Lobdell in Alpha Flight #107. Mind you the hints have been there for some time. Some

By Joe Glass [*SPOILERS for All-New X-Men #40 below!] In today's All New X-Men #40, Brian Michael Bendis gives us a Wednesday Bomb Drop: Iceman is gay. But this is the young Iceman, not the Iceman we all have followed for years But wait, he's 'our' Iceman's younger self, so the original Iceman is gay? Wait, haven't we[...]

It's the lead story on The Advocate. It's also the lead on New Now Next. Because, as Brian Bendis finishes his run on All-New X-Men tomorrow with issue 40, he leaves arather intriguing gift. As pages leaked online via 4chan/co reveal, Bobby Drake, Iceman, is gay. Something confirmed by team telepath Jean Grey. Even though the older Bobby Drake is[...]
