Iceman is getting his own solo comic book Marvel revealed via Twitter with a cover showing the X-Man’s 50 year history.

Iceman #1 was announced for Spring 2017 with the previously teased ResurrXion, which appears to be the follow-up event to Inhumans vs. X-Men.

This is the first new title announced with the mysterious ResurrXion banner.

This is the first ongoing title to star original X-Man Bobby Drake.

Two versions of Iceman exist in the Marvel Universe. Both came out of the closet during the Brian Michael Bendis run in which Beast brought the original five X-Men into the present.

Young Bobby from the past was “outed” by psychic Jean Grey. Bobby later confronted his older adult self about his lifetime in the closet. Iceman is now the most prominent LGBT Marvel character.

Young Bobby is currently part of the All-New X-Men and recently sparks flew between him and a young gay Inhuman. Older Drake is part of Storm’s Extraordinary X-Men team. Continue reading ICEMAN Solo Book With RESURRXION
