It was announced in mid-October Iceman was getting his own ongoing series. Marvel has shared the creative team for the book coming Spring 2017 as part of Marvel’s ResurreXion initiative. The project will be coming from writer Sina Grace with interior art by Alessandro Vitti and cover by Kevin Wada. Iceman came out in 2015’s All-New X-Men #40, making him one of Marvel’s most prominent LGBT characters. In an interview with Nerdist, Sina Grace explained:
“I think the tension of [Bobby recently coming out] is what makes this the most interesting and fun project to work on. Because it means that he’s been keeping something not only from his friends and colleagues, but also from himself. And if you even just look at his powers, it’s always just sort of been there, for the entire history of the Marvel universe. And leaning into it makes working on the character and understanding all the decisions he’s made to date that much more fascinating. And what he does with that information moving forward is going to inform not only his personal life, but also how he sees himself as a hero.”
Adding:
“With this series, you’ll see how much knowing yourself and understanding yourself helps inform the scope of your abilities, both as a human being and also as a superhero. We are gonna play with it to be sure, because this guy is an Omega Level mutant at the end of the day.”
