Dark Iceman?
The many loves of Bobby Drake are reunited in a funny, heartbreaking issue with a hints of darkness in Astonishing X-Men #62. I had forgotten about all these women from Iceman’s past but this is not just a soap opera issue. Marjorie Liu takes Dangerous Liaisons and mutates it as Bobby’s past loves unite to his horror and the delight of some of his teammates.
Bobby is already shaken from the events of X-Tinction and the sudden reunion of loves may shake the onetime joke of the X-Men into a powerful threat! The women who pushed Bobby to reach his potential as an omega level mutant may be the only one who can save him from madness or is she really behind it?
Even the Avengers are sensing the looming danger as the God of Thunder is shaken by an apocalyptic vision that could be tied to Iceman. This is a great issue for fans of Bobby, Kitty Pryde and especially Gambit as the Cajun delivers some great lines at Bobby’s expense!
I can’t wait to see what Liu has planned for next month and I’m thrilled to see Iceman shine.
