Iceman is a founding member of the X-Men, one of Spider-Man’s amazing friends, one of the few high-profile openly gay characters in superhero comics, and, perhaps most shockingly, one of the few X-characters that has never had his own ongoing series. All of that ends next week, when Sina Grace and Alessandro Vitti launch “Iceman” #1 as part of Marvel’s recently revamped X-line. Grace is one of our favorite writers in all of comics, and so seeing him get this opportunity has been incredible for us at Multiversity. We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at “Iceman” #1, which drops next Wednesday.

Lettered by VC’s Joe SabinoBobby Drake has been in the super hero game longer than most. But while reflecting on what he’s accomplished over the years, he realizes that the legacy he’s built is a few good one-liners and a string of failed relationships. Not only that, but now a younger version of himself has emerged from the timestream and he’s more put together than Bobby ever was: already a world-class hero in his own right, but also totally comfortable in his own skin, complete with a relationship with a handsome Inhuman to boot. In this new ongoing series penned by Sina Grace (Burn the Orphanage, Self-Obsessed) and drawn by Alessandro Vitti (SECRET WARRIORS), Bobby realizes that the time is never or now, and sets out to build a life and legacy he can be proud of…and be the best ICEMAN he can be!
Thanks to Marvel for the preview, be sure to look out for both our review and our Mutantversity column on the book, and make sure to pick up the issue on June 7!
