Iceman #3

Three issues in and Grace is doing more for Iceman's character than X-Men comics have for a long time. This comic is so very good on a human level. I just wish X-writers would abandon the damn Purifiers already. Read Full Review

Iceman hits a high point (and hopefully continues the trajectory) this issue. Read Full Review

I think reader sometimes do not understand the daily life of a superhero. In Iceman issue #3, gives an look into Bobby's world ( Again no pun intended) and it's not all bells and whistles being an X-Men. Yeah, go go out and recruit new mutants and save the world once in while but where's the 401K plan? Is there workmen's compensation due to job injuries? Not to mention when will mom and dad enjoy the pitter patter of grandchildren? For Iceman, being a mutant, fighting for equality as well as being gay might become a heavy burden to carry on. And that what the writer is expressing about the character. Great Stuff! Read Full Review

All in all, Iceman #3 may simply be hands down the best issue of the series to date, and gives the most succinct and complete idea of the creative teams goals. It leaves me excited to see just where they go next. Read Full Review

Iceman #3 dodged the real conversation, but so much of this was genuine from a family trying their hardest to come together and an enemy who shows them real fear through delusion. I hope this isn't the last we see of the Purifiers as they do bring out a different side to the X-Men that goes beyond the usual vendetta. Read Full Review

ICEMAN #3 brings engaging originality to a familiar X-Men character. Read Full Review

Sina Grace, Alessandro Vitti, and Rachelle Rosenberg start to find their storytelling footing inIceman#3 with their combination of introspective heart to heart and superhero action. There is less humor and more darkness in this issue, but who has time for one-liners when your family's lives are threatened by hatemongers. Read Full Review

Iceman #3 has pushed the series in a better direction. Im still unsure how all the narrative pieces work together, particularly in the plot, but they seem to be coalescing into something that has a vision of the future. Bobby has an interesting story to tell, but the series needs to catch more of its bearings. There are signs that things will pick up for the X-Man and I hope that what develops is something that does the character justice. Read Full Review

The Purifiers, apparently on a "spoil Bobby's relationship with his parents" mission now, strike during what was supposed to be his coming-out dinner. Jokes aside, this issue is an achingly good execution of the classic "mutants as a stand-in for homosexuals" trope. It's a splendid action story, too, and expanding the Purifier attack from #1 into an ongoing plot is much appreciated. Alessandro Vitti's return to art duties is also a good thing; let's hope moving this book to a monthly schedule fits his capabilities.

Pure garbage. Focused more on reminding you on the gay thing than anything else. Also didn't know Christian terrorist group still exist in U.S. Redeemed with a action moment, but still was hard to read. Disgusting art. Everyone looks like a predator.
