X-Men: Iceman
by Alfredo Alcalá, Jo Duffy, J.M. DeMatteis, Alan Kupperberg

medium-paced
In my mind, this is THE Iceman run. J M DeMatteis is working with an Iceman at a crossroads who's been passed from writer to writer and largely neglected on the character aspect for at least a decade- and what he does with that material is quite good. There's a lot of good characterization material that gets blatantly ignored by Marvel- especially Bobby's Jewish heritage.
This run is essential to understanding Bobby as a character, in my opinion, and should be required reading for any Marvel writers who want to work with him.
