I was an X-Men/Iceman fan for almost twenty years before I learned of it, and then spent more years than that trying to find out more about it, off and on. Once I started posting about it publicly I would also occasionally have someone just send me something. Apparently, since I already knew about it and was discussing it, it was like 'oh well, the cat's already out of the bag'. The hard part has been trying to confirm things. I've had something for awhile that goes into the next part of the Mythos involving Louise Simonson's original plans involving Bobby and Jean, and while I was able to confirm some of it, I couldn't confirm some of the most explosive parts until I finally tracked down a print interview from the 80's that I had looked for for years and finally all-but concluded probably didn't exist. It's like finding pieces of a puzzle, where one piece often leads to another piece, and suddenly disparate things that didn't make sense finally start to add up!
I went through a phase as a teenager where I was very into the occult, and before I started researching all this the only thing I knew of Kabbalah was that it was some form of Jewish Mysticism that the singer Madonna was into(it garnered a lot of media attention at the time). I had no idea how much of the occult was drawn from the Shadow Side of Kabbalah especially.
That Iceman statue was produced by a company called 'Unboxing Bros' and sculpted by the amazing Lucas Coelho.

Lol I had no idea Madonna was into the occult. Must have been a phase with her.
The new stuff is more a blindspot for me because I rarely keep up with the current comics anymore. And everytime I do come back, I'm reminded of why I left in the first place. The Storm/Magneto stuff from Ewing I've heard wonderful things about, for both characters, so I probably should read it especially now knowing it's all connected to Oblivion as well. Had no idea Ashake was brought back. And as someone who doesn't read Venom, it's a good thing you mentioned that Ewing has used this concept of falling through Limbo before.
I'd also heard that Shadow King was meant as an oppositional force against the Phoenix but I never knew if that was mere speculation or not. Nice to have Ewing confirm it. I agree that Dark Cold Room flows better than Black Cold Room.
Oh I see, I didn't realize the Iceman statue was a custom. That makes sense because I had never seen any official merchandise of Iceman with a dragon theme. It sounds like Lucas Coelho might be a subscriber to this mythos. It's truly a stunning piece of work and I'd love to see that dragon imagery pop up in the comics when Bobby is using his powers. It seems like such a natural fit after actually seeing it.
