Back in 2018, Marvel launched a brand new Iceman series from author Sina Grace and artist Nathan Stockman. Nearly 5 years later, the writer has introduced that Bobby Drake can be headlining his personal ongoing series as soon as once more with Mighty Iceman from author Steve Orlando and artist Vincenzo Carratù this August.
Featuring a canopy drawn by Jesus Saiz, this new series will “elevate Bobby Drake to Super Hero greatness, complete with a new base of operations, never-before-seen uses of his abilities, and fierce new enemies. Iceman’s newfound purpose will position him amongst Marvel’s most powerful beings, but a dark side effect of his new mission could cause it all to shatter…”
Moreover, in line with the press launch Bobby Drake can be pushed to make use of his Omega-level mutant powers to the bounds and past as he faces off towards the anti-mutant group Orchis.
Unsurprisingly, Orlando is extraordinarily enthusiastic about this new challenge:
“Have I not been saying my next Marvel project was cool as hell?” “ASTONISHING ICEMAN has been not just a joy, but a challenge, and the best possible kind….because the FALL OF X means Iceman’s life is more dangerous and harrowing than ever. But Bobby is a hero to the core, and there’s no danger he’s met in whose face he won’t laugh. When it’s more dangerous than ever to be a hero, that’s when Iceman’s at his most heroic! And with Jesus Saiz and Vincenzo Carratù joining me on this–Iceman’s going to look cooler than ever. See what I did there?”
Look for Astonishing Iceman #1 to reach in shops and digitally on Wednesday, August 2nd.
