Team Ice speculiation Thread

[Havok83]

Well, I was being nice and didn't want to bring up the fact that not only did the solo series fail, it failed spectacularly by selling below 15K copies by issue 4 and at 11k in February. I can't be bothered to check, but I seriously doubt Storm or Cyclops' solos did this badly.

There’s more to a team than just the leader. People buy team books for the ensemble

Yes, so there's no reason to put Iceman as leader, when some other popular character headlining the book would have drawn in more readers who would pay for the book.

You can't judge that by the numbers because their solos were in 2014 and times have changed. A better way to compare is how many issues they got before getting cancelled, and all 3 have around the same amount: 11-12.

[Confuzzled]

Irrelevant, they all sold poorly enough to be cancelled. By that logic, Wolverine is the only character who should lead the X-Men.

Or Deadpool.

Iceman, Northstar, Dazzler, Pixie, Cypher, Warlock, Layla Miller

I want Anole on his team (though I also doubt he'll get one).
It's time he got to be on a proper team again. But for some reason the only X-kids Marvel writers consistently want to push are Armor, Quire and Eye-boy.

Preview upcoming issue

[Digifiend]

We've been seeing announcements twice a day all week. Maybe we'll hear about the X-Men changes on Wednesday or later next week? i.e. after Iceman #11 is out? And that could include Bobby on a team. I think Gold will probably end at #30 - and we've already heard about a couple of July books (Captain America and Captain Marvel). If so, there will be an X-Men announcement before they run out of things to tell us.

[nandes]

The only books this could get referenced in are X-Men Gold (since it's the only one book addressing the school now) or a new one. I doubt either will happen unless Guggs leaves and/or there's another relaunch of the X-line coming with Fresh Start, so I think it's more of a idea that Sina Grace has to close Bobby's arc than anything else.

[Heroine Addict]

Whether it actually comes to pass or not, I think with the right premise--one that's inspired--and some solid creators, that were committed, an Iceman led team book could EASILY slide on into being a credible success. This is true of many a character, IMO, so don't see why he should be any different. Holdin' up his solo sales numbers as proof, is hardly irrefutable, as others have already adequately pointed out.

[NewMutant]

I don't think he is actually getting a team, nor do I think the New Gold team will last more than an issue/arc.

Dream team:

Iceman
Beast
Emma Frost
Rogue
Northstar
Dazzler
Anole
Pixie
Rockslide

Since when did Bobby Drake prove he's matue enough to lead anybody? It certainly wasn't in his solo series. He acted like a fuckin' baby throughout the entire thing.
