DC Comics News - Seth Singleton
Oct 18, 2021A sense of uncertainty is sketched on their faces by Doug Braithwaite's pencils. The contrasts with the expressions of Freeman, Raquel, and their adversaries are balanced and measured by Andrew Currie's inks. Brad Anderson's colors evoke the tension of the shadows and the fire of the flames, while Icon and Rocket glow like beacons across the panels. Andworld Designs letters match and keep pace in the dangerous charge to issue #3. Read Full Review

Aug 24, 2021The first issue of this revival of Dwayne McDuffie's Milestone property was a low-key but compelling affair, introducing us to the two characters who would become Icon and Rocket. This issue blows that world wide open and reveals a much larger universe. Read Full Review

This is a straight 10 totally based on that amazing single page splash where Icon walks out of the fire with that bastard's head in his hands. Baller.

Today I discuss the second issue of the new Icon and Rocket series, and I had almost forgotten what it was like to genuinely enjoy a superhero story from DC. I wish they would do more stories like this again. Maybe they would see customers and profits returning if they did. https://youtu.be/Ai8z7tAYI_4

Strongest thing to come out of DC this week. It looks like the start of Icon and Rocket tackling the symptoms of Dakota's issues. The people of parts of the neighborhood look and feel safe for once. That is until a few ugly supporters of the status quo show up. The kind that have to justify Icon's earlier need to keep his head down. The cops who come knocking on Rocket's door don't seem to want to bring her in on just vigilantism, but to protect her from something. Only problem is, they believe it's Augustus when it is really someone else. A person that even a government official trying to keep Augustus down fears. Makes me wonder if people support problematic status quos not because they benefit but because there are no safety nets to w more

This was pretty good. I thought the pacing was a bit off, but I didn't hate it.
