Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Jun 24, 2017The second issue of Iceman is just as delightful as the first, offering more of a grounded, personal look at the life of Bobby Drake, as a friend, a confidant and as a superhero. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2017I have some qualms with this issue, but none of them are major. Iceman continues to be a fun read that rings true emotionally. Read Full Review

Comicsverse - Maite Molina
Jun 21, 2017Though the dynamic between Bobby and Kitty Pryde was a highlight along with Bobby's character development, the supporting plot lines were too dull to strengthen the issue. Read Full Review

Outright Geekery - Brian A. Madrid
Aug 16, 2017From seeing issue #2, the Marvel Universe has made both Kitty and Bobby more grown up than from previous adaptations. Though the writers did keep Bobby's corky sense of humor intact. Not the most serious person in the X-Men family of mutants, but he manages to break the ice during tense situations(No pun intended there). As of now, Bobby has no one special in mind to begin a relationship. Kitty offers good advice about seeking out others for support and offers her friendship to him. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - James Cesena
Jun 24, 2017A good issue, but this early on I wish there was a bit more characterization from the star of the series. Read Full Review

IGN - Jeff Lake
Jun 22, 2017When compared to its solid debut, Iceman's latest X-ploits aren't quite so fully formed. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton
Jun 21, 2017Written by a talented gay writer like Sina Grace, who isn't afraid to unpack the messiness of Iceman's coming out and personality while still letting him pose for selfies mid-battle,Icemanshould be one of Marvel's more compelling books. However, with its generic and uninspiring depiction of some of the flashiest (and soapiest) superheroes ever,Icemanpales in comparison to books that have a more distinct visual identity likeAmerica, Marvel's other book with an LGBTQ lead.

Newsarama - Pierce Lydon
Jun 22, 2017Pencillers Edgar Salazar and Ibraim Roberson render the world of the story with more realism than Alessandro Vitti did in the debut but it's all very utilitarian and generic. They don't hurt the story but they don't elevate it at all either. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2017However, taking everything into consideration, this issue took some of the promise of the first and made it a more challenging read. I hope things will look up for Bobby from here. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Columbus Comics Corner
Jun 26, 2017Sina Grace does a good job of introducing new readers to Bobby Drake and at the same time closing chapters of his past. The main plot with Zach is lackluster, only there to get both Bobby and Kitty in the same room to clear the air. It's to bad editorial didn't comb over this book for any wonky dialogue that could come off-putting to certain readers. Read Full Review

A fun issue. Very organic and natural (unlike America). Art is great for a comic book like this.

Bobby and Kitty have an Uncomfortable Ex Chat in the middle of rescuing a new mutant. This could have been a really nice comic; it's a pity we get a problematic rough draft instead of a finished product. It's riddled with ugly spots that betray a lack of polish. That applies to both the writing (corny jokes with bad delivery, lack of smooth line-to-line flow) and the art (sterile poses, poor faces, minimal design continuity with the last issue). I don't think rushing this issue out the door to meet a double shipping schedule was a good idea. To paraphrase Shigeru Miyamoto, a delayed comic can eventually be good, but a rushed comic is forever bad.
