Bobby Drake: Iceman Appreciation 2018

[Crimz]

It doesn't. I don't even think She Hulk is there and she is really the 5th regular team member of the F4.

I also think Marvel really missed out rushing the Storm/Black Panther run on F4. That was fun and could have been really monumental instead of a footnote.

That said this is good for Iceman and therefore I don't mind.

She Hulk is behind Luke Cage in her human form.

I don't know why Bobby's here, but hopefully he does something other than being in the background.

Oh good! Phew.

Sharing the moment Stan learned Bobby was gay. Heh, he was taken completely by surprise but he was a class act about it as usual:

Definitely got a laugh out of Fantastic Four today where even the book itself asks why Bobby was there and when he explained it (apparently it’s an untold story) Johnny basically says that doesn’t count. He’s even asked later what noncanon means.

I like the costume and the beard, not sure about the hair.

Costumes not bad but hate the beard. The all white also doesnt work. I would like more blue. I get what he's going for but it would look better with some color to contrast the ice

I'm happy he is there. I would love more from Iceman and Human Torch. (Also imagine Daken getting involved in this). I just don't have faith there will be any follow up.

I like the artist but this design still doesn't strike a cord with me. The beard would be great if Iceman went through a big arc or struggle that gruffed him up for a bit. To just have one one day feels odd.

I must say, I really like the facial hair, and the white, but I get why people would say it needs some blue in it.

The "untold story" of Iceman temporarily joining the Fantastic Four will be told next year.

It seems like it might be told in the books annual.

Hate having Bobby connected to the FF4 in any way. Just terrible. I wish they'd just forget about that and never reference it again, but I know I can't be that lucky.

Have to agree with all of this.
Personally I quite liked the red and black costume. Just a speedo is also always a good option.

Why do you feel so strongly against him with the F4?

Also, I agree his black and red uniform was great and underrated.

[NexusTenebrare]

Oh don't give me that side eye. If it makes you feel better, the Invisible Woman is about the only one from that family I can stomach. Maybe Valeria too.

Because I loathe the F4. I can't stand them. Their personalities just rub me the wrong way.

You don't have to read it. And it is more exposure, especially outside of the X-Men exposure, for Iceman. Seems like nothing but pros to me.

This is amazing, though it definitely needs more blue (and less gloves, because they are kind of redundant). The beard looks weird, I think if it weren't so scruffy it could work.

I LOLed through all Bobby scenes in FF last week, and Johnny and Bobby together (if written well) can be a delight. Two goofballs together play off as well as a comic and a straightman, as we saw in UXM 2 with Bishop. Here's to non-cringe-y funny times!
