Giganta returned to wearing her full body biker suit for her appearance in Sensational Wonder Woman #6 (physical edition numbering). She also returned to being the muscle working for an evil mastermind, not unlike her time on Villainy Inc. This time though, we find evidence that her colleagues care for her and her safety, and she's not just some disposable mook.
Also, Pelletier art! :D

thanekos#2'd taken her there, in the course of her latest case.
Her way was blocked by Crow, a genetically leonine " goon-for-hire " doing a job - and, consequently, preventing her from getting into a bar where she could pick up info.
She worked around him with a bribe, one that bought her knowledge about when and where she could next find the " Harvest " she was on the trail of.
Later, at Golden Gate Park, she called her client Hedy up with an update.
Their conversation turned to the park's beauty.
(Note - if you haven't played or finished 2064: Read Only Memories, and intend to with as little foreknowledge as possible, this takes place after that game.)
( It turned again from there. )

thanekos(#1'd put her on its tail.)
She cross-referenced what she'd been able to get from a local " tribe " with the memory of her client, Hedy.
Hedy explained that their memory was limited, only local.
Lexi chuckled. " Guess having a shitty memory is what makes you human in this couple, eh? "
" Can you stop?!
" I recognize that you don't understand what I'm going through, but please quit belittling my experience.
" I'm paying you to help find my boyfriend, not pass judgments about a robot and a human in love.
" Are we clear?
" I'm not trying to patronize you or come off as condescending. I just- "
" You just can't fathom that a robot and a human can be in love? "
( Lexi answered. )

thanekosIt's set between the first game in the series - 2064 - and the upcoming Neurodiver.
It opens on Lexi Rivers, doing her job.

icon_ukSina Grace, the out, gay writer for Iceman, has posted on tumblr about his experience of writing the title and it's not a particularly happy story, alas.(Some discussing of homophobic trolling under the cut)
( There's still a lot of work to be done... )

"I was approaching the first Iceman run drawing from personal accounts and stories from my friends about the queer late bloomer effect," Grace says. "The first series was a ‘coming out’ story and this new run is a 'being out' story. It's more about living in your skin, finding balance, discovering your community, and deciding what you owe your community."

Newsarama: Sina, Iceman is back in a new volume. How’d the opportunity to return to Bobby Drake come up?
Sina Grace: Blame capitalism! The original series kind of took off in the book market, and Marvel knew I was eager to continue working with the character. I feel like we'd only hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of exploring Iceman's powers, and I definitely had a few more yarns in me with regards to pushing his story. Also I built that entire answer around an iceberg pun. Ick.

'Every Power Rangers story I’ve written has answered a question I had. “Why is brave Goldar so scared of Lord Zedd?” “Why is a seemingly gentle creature like Finster in Rita’s team?” Next week, I get to ask “How did Karone never face consequences for her actions as Astronema?”' - Trey Moore
