McDuffie and Bright's Icon with Ronell Whitaker

 

This week's guest is comics educator Ronell Whitaker, who chose Icon as the run to discuss.  Icon was the flagship title of the Milestone line, which may have been the only new comics universe worth following of all the many that launched in the early 90's.  Ronell is the first guest that I'd never spoken with before recording but I found him to be very interesting and easy to talk to.  I'm really glad he proposed that we read this series because it's definitely a hidden gem of the 90's and there are lots of interesting elements within it to get into.  Just as a tip of the iceberg, it may be the only superhero comic in which one of the main heroes is shown buying a home pregnancy test.
