…Secret History Of Iceman Replacing Human Torch On FF Revealed!

Plus there is a pretty sweet main cover.

Iceman stumbles on the FF in a melee and joins them to assist them then and…
…in several other adventures.
Human Torch finds out, gets jelly, and joins in a battle that Iceman is assisting them team.
They work together, so its a Fantastic Five of sorts, and…
…win the day with Professor X Charles Xavier calling Iceman home afterwards.
Then in modern day we eat!
BTW, if folks are curious where Alex Ross’ Iceman Timeless variant cover will see print, as a bit of a companion piece to the Human Torch one with this issue, it will adorn the variant cover of Marauders #13 out on October 7, 2020.
The Pulse:
A cool done-in-one story bridging the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Nice drama and action. Great art. Fun and entertaining. Too many variant covers though. 8 out of 10.
