    Default It looks like Bobby Drake may be joining the X-Men!

    C.F. Villa tweeted a page centered on Bobby that he's drawing today and wrote something to the effect of, "I hope you all will enjoy my work with @GerryDuggan on X-Men #13." He has since deleted it but tweeted the following message:

    Haha, sorry guys, i had to delete that last one because i have to be more careful showing official X-men stuff around. But its going to be cool. Pun intended.

    I hope my suspicions come true and that Bobby joins the X-Men!

    omfg. I was able to snag a screenshot of a preview of the tweet from one of the DMs that was still open in another tab!

    Bobby is great, not to mention extremely powerful, and doesn't get nearly as much love and attention as he should.

    DugganIceman didn't really do anything the first go-round, but sure. The team definitely needs something, maybe Bobby will make a presence this time. And an extended Jean/Iceman teammup is due. They can reference that time they went shopping finally.

    Not enough attention are you joking it's Iceman. Him being powerful is irrelevant. Its just the same old same old.

    I actually predicted in another thread that Iceman is returning at gala with Christian and joining Duggan X-Men. I feel like Duggan had more plans for him. I don't believe he did nothing but it was nothing developed which is still frustrating.

    Is this the one of the artists who drew Iceman's solo with Sina?
    I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

    I like Iceman, but this book doesn't really use the characters they already have. Jean, Scott, and Synch get the most focus. As a Cyclops fan I'm not complaining, but fans of x-23, Polaris or Rogue shouldn't be happy

    I hope this isn't true. Duggan couldn't be bothered to do anything with the character in Marauders for nearly 30 issues.

    *calmly walks in, flips table, walks back out*

    I mean OH BOY THIS IS DEFINITELY WHAT I WAS HOPING WAS GONNA HAPPEN, THIS IS FOR SURE THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE TIMELINES.

    Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm gonna take my dashed dreams of an Ewing-written Iceman in X-Men Red and go cry myself to sleep, like a totally mature and rational adult who is not at all overreacting to something we've all suspected was a likely outcome for months. I SAID I'M FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE, ITS FINE.

    I was hoping Bobby would be part of X-Men Red's cast. Oh well. Glad he's at least staying in the spotlight.

    This. And i think as a voted on team X-men sweetspot is having characters that need to be defined such as synch and i think that is where duggan shines so i rather a surge or a firestar someone i feel he would think he needs to think about tying them into the x-line and defining and thus the story coming a bit more organic like synch and filling in some character progression holes for lorna as opposed to a more defined legacy x-man. I think it's best with 2 or 3 old school and then the rest being characters that need to be defined. I think he would show more interest and the stories would be better. jmo.

    windancer would be a good addition. I think he would have fun delving into her time in mojoworld and mojo was in the latest issue. and she needs some definition.

    If Bobby's on the team, is this more fuel for the *ahem* fire that Firestar wins the vote for X-membership?

    Same here, Deva. I hope he has some personal moments with both Jean and Scott. And, of course, I'm just looking forward to having his effervescent energy around.
