Review for the entire series:
Feels like very middle of the road in terms of art and writing. Sina Grace does most of what is given to him both in terms of Marvel editorial, and how Iceman has been written throughout the decades. There are a few neat moments here and there, and it's nice to see Bobby interact with Kitty Pryde, but it's nothing out of the world. Iceman has never been an interesting or funny character for me, and this series did nothing to help with that perception.

first of all why is Mr Sinister's head in a floating bubble on the cover of this volume when he makes nary an appearance in this book, I was so intrigued to see wtf he's been up to
That aside--I'm not the most up-to-date on all the X-books so I had a little bit of a learning curve for following some of the side stories here, but then, when is that not the case?
I liked this fine, it's good to see Bobby dealing with some of his issues, and I'm interested to see where it goes from here. I also really liked Kitty Pryde's sensible-but-justifiably-angry vibe here.

A really good story with some great covers, but unfortunately the art is pretty bad for most of it.

I was super interested in how Marvel would handle Iceman's first solo series now that he was out and proud, and I quite enjoyed it for the most part.
Bobby is still Bobby, wise-cracking and snowball-flinging warts and all, but you can't help loving him for it. This series does an interesting job of looking beneath the flippant jokes and seemingly one-dimensional super powers and creating a fully realised person. One who can do a lot more with his mutant ability than has previously been shown.
Good read, I hope the series run continues.
