Marvel unleashes Fall of X details with ‘Astonishing Iceman’ out August 2023

Steve Orlando and Vincenzo Carratù launch the ‘Astonishing Iceman’ solo series this August.

Press Release

Earlier this week, Marvel Comics revealed details on the Fall of X lead in X-Men titles out in July, and today we’ve got news of Astonishing X-Men launching August 2nd! Written by Steve Orlando with art by Vincenzo Carratù, Astonishing Iceman will feature Iceman as Earth’s new protector. Wait what?!

“Have I not been saying my next Marvel project was cool as hell?” Orlando said. “ASTONISHING ICEMAN has been not just a joy, but a challenge, and the best possible kind….because the FALL OF X means Iceman’s life is more dangerous and harrowing than ever. But Bobby is a hero to the core, and there’s no danger he’s met in whose face he won’t laugh. When it’s more dangerous than ever to be a hero, that’s when Iceman’s at his most heroic! And with Jesus Saiz and Vincenzo Carratù joining me on this–Iceman’s going to look cooler than ever. See what I did there?”

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!

So what’s Astonishing Icema about?

After the events of this year’s can’t-miss Hellfire Gala, Bobby Drake, aka Iceman, sets his sights on heroic deeds like never before. But as a new situation develops that links Iceman to his Antarctic ice palace, he’ll have to be slicker than ever to accomplish his mission before ORCHIS knows what hit them! See the Omega-level mutant as you’ve never seen him before in a new saga that’ll push Iceman to the limits of his powers…and beyond!
