Iceman, Vol. 1: Thawing Out by Sina Grace
5.0
This was a purejoy to read. Iceman has been a staple of the X-men teams for years, but never really gets his full time in the spotlight.
This series puts him fully in focus, and examines more then just his mutant power, but also his personal life, his relationship with his friends and family, and his sexual orientation.
I love the tone and artwork of this series. It manages to deliver some real emotional depth, while maintaining a dark tone.
While there are some great action sequences, what sells this story is the at times painful exploration of Bobby Drake's inner turmoil, particularly the scenes where he is with his parents.
