  Ice King is a difficult character to structure a whole story around. His history and state of mind are more fractured and convuluted than most golden era heroes and his brashness and tome make it very easy to dislike him. But I think 'Ice King' #1 manages to overcome this obstacle nicely by simple switching it's goal slightly. It doesn't ask you to like its titular character, simply to empathise with him. By investing so heavily in Ice King's mood swings, his powers and his mercurial mind, this issue takes you on a journey that feels like a truly revealing romp. Even if, as the book itself acknowledges, it's leading man is 'Just a Jerk'. Read Full Review
