The unconscious process of coming out is one that LGBTQ the great unwashed go through multiple times in their life — speaking to family , speaking to friends , talk to Centennial State - doer , hell , talk to complete and complete strangers , sometimes . In the world of comic books , out submarine sandwich have one other category … tell their fellow superheroes .
The opening varlet of this calendar week ’s Iceman # 3 — by Sina Grace , Alessandro Vitti , and Rachelle Rosenberg — watch Bobby Drake suffer outside of his parents ’ dwelling on the verge of enjoin them about his recent discovery about his own sexuality . In what Bobby consider was a fashion to try and re - acclimate himself to the process of amount out , the new mutant pink off a grouping school text to a crew of his remote colleague to let them make out , and the reactions range from a little hokey to pretty screaming .
There ’s famously gay mutant Jean - Paul Beaubier , a.k.a . famous gay mutant Northstar , who ’s very excited for Bobby . Former girlfriend Opal Tanaka plays it cool , as does Lorna Dane , a.k.a . Polaris . And then goofballs Johnny Storm and Spider - Man decide to make jokes , because of course they do . I kind of love that Boom Boom decided to just sidestep it altogether though .
It ’s a cute style of showing how more and more comfy Bobby is becoming in his own skin after being so hesitantwhen first confrontedby his younger , time - displaced self about his feel . But I bet poor Bobby is gon na have to send that text out to a few more times over the path of his current ongoing comedian . Let ’s trust not every response is as chintzy as Johnny Storm ’s .
