This was such a delightful series, made somewhat bittersweet after hearing what a hard time the writer had at Marvel and what an uphill battle it was. As hard as it was and as many editorial hoops as he had to jump through, the end result was a magical slice of life for a gay X-man comic. Spidey and Morlocks and one of my favorite villains, Mr. Sinister all showed up

It's fun, funny, it has a touch of irreverence, it introduces a new, minor character who was an instant sensation with fans...in other words, it's everything you want out of a superhero comic.

I am so mad that it got already cancelled again after just being brought back, even though this one feels a bit all over the place as well. I loved the stuff with Emma Frost and her brother though. I would have loved to explore that further. Spidey and Iceman work surprisingly well together as well, even though they seem like the same person with different powers. :p Essex isn’t that gripping as the main villain but I like Madin and the Morlock fraction making Bobby understand his privileges better. Oh, and Bobby with wings? Yes please. So, this isn’t perfect, but I still would have loved more.

1) Iceman, Vol. 1: Thawing Out ★★★
2) Iceman, Vol. 2: Absolute Zero ★★★½
I love Bobby Drake so much!! The fact that we got a third volume of this was so exciting for me and it luckily was exactly what I wanted. This series isn't perfect by any means, especially when it comes to plot and villains, but if I were just rating it based on how well it dissects Bobby Drake's character it would get an easy five stars. This volume might be my favourite of the series thus far. One thing I want to highlight in particular is how much I appreciate the fact that Jean Grey outing Bobby was finally addressed and discussed as being a shitty thing, and even though Bobby acknowledges that it needed to happen it still wasn't her place to out him. This series won't win any awards for it's spectacular storytelling, but I will read it until the end of time because it's just so fun and gives my favourite X-Man some well-deserved love.
