So many Marvel myths are about young kids who have to step up to the task of being brave…

I love that Iceman is a message to grown-ups: How can we become our best selves?

It was about learning to love yourself.

That message is so necessary, for everyone.

We see Bobby go up against a Purifier in this first issue.

By the end of that story, theyll be thinking twice before coming after Iceman!

Ive been having a lot of fun writing Daken (Wolverines sexy and super evil son).

Juggernauts appearance is gonna be pretty epic (issue 5, true believers!).
