Icon is an interesting character.  He's essentially an alien living with black skin.  There are some discrepancies with his character.  For example, why didn't he end slavery?  He showed no problem ripping the head off a planation owner in the 19th century.  That quibble aside, I enjoyed the dynamic between Icon and Rocket their interplay was fun to read.  And even though this deals with heavy themes like racism, drugs, and government corruption, it's still a very fun read.  Don't fret, there's plenty of comic book action.  Definitely check it out if you love black superheroes or comics in general.
