If you’ve not been paying close attention to the solicitations, you might be surprised to discover that this limited series - heavily pushed as being based on Iceman’s journey towards San Francisco - is actually an anthology. It’s much in the vein of the recent “Divided We Stand” 2-issue miniseries, with the added bonus that there’s [...]
