Iceman #2

The second chapter of Marvel's 1985 four-issue Iceman limited series puts Bobby Drake squarely in peril, as the cover — penciled by Mike Zeck and inked by Bob McLeod — shows a frosty Iceman caught in the grip of a massive insectoid creature ridden by the multi-armed, weapon-wielding Kali, while a smaller figure of Iceman glides across ice in the upper corner and a cityscape burns in the background. The tagline "In the Clutches of — Kali!" says it all: Bobby's facing a threat that's equal parts mythological and menacing. With J. M. DeMatteis writing and Alan Kupperberg on interior art, this series continues to give the X-Man's solo adventure a genuinely distinct flavor.
