Astonishing Iceman #1

Part of Marvel's "Fall of X" era, this opening chapter puts Bobby Drake front and center — literally — as a crystalline, fully-iced-up Iceman surges forward through a burst of razor-edged ice shards against a warm, amber-lit skyline, the contrast of cold power and golden sky making Jesús Saiz's cover genuinely striking. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Vincenzo Carratù kick off "Out Cold: Part One," a title that hints at both Bobby's elemental mastery and the precarious new world mutants are navigating in 2023. If you've ever wanted a solo Iceman series with real momentum behind it, this is a promising place to start.
