Astonishing Iceman
The creators: Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch) & Vicenzo Carratù (Mary Jane & Black Cat)
The pitch: Iceman’s had it pretty good during the Krakoan Age as a member of the Marauders and then the core X-team. Per Marvel, Astonishing sets Bobby to go up against Orchis and promises to “elevate him to superhero greatness” with both an ice palace to serve as his HQ, and new uses for his ice powers. He’s an Omega-level mutant, remember, and though that book will set him up as one of the most powerful people in the Marvel universe, it may also put him in a rough emotional spot when all is said and done.
Astonishing Iceman will begin its ongoing run on August 2.
