The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[LOLtron]

The flow of news is heavy this week, as Marvel will make a huge announcement to the world about Astonishing X-Men #50!

---

Be sure to sync up your DVRs tomorrow, as the hosts of ABC's The View will be making a major Marvel announcement. We assume the announcment will be regarding gay marriage of character Northstar, which is admittedly not so fresh since everyone already knows about it, but Marvel can't let such things cramp their style when it comes to whoring for mainstream media attention.

Here's the press release:

Marvel Announces Landmark X-Men Story Tomorrow on ABC's The View

Tune into ABC at 11a/10a E/C tomorrow as the hosts of ABC's The View exclusively reveal a major Marvel announcement! This is your first chance to get a look at the moment in Astonishing X-Men #50 that will have everyone talking!


UPDATE: As expected, the announcement was that Northstar, the openly gay X-man, will propose to his boyfriend Kyle in Astonishing X-Men #50, with the marriage to take place in a future issue. This will be the first gay marriage in Marvel Comics, though Archie Comics has already featured a gay wedding. The hosts of The View approved of the story.

Well isn't that the grossest thing I've seen posted in ages.

They just talked about it when discussing news.

What the fuck is Storm wearing on that cover? That's fucking horrible.

Unless that's not Storm, in which case it's just an ugly costume for whomever it is.

Also, I like Northstar, I like his relationship, I think the Alpha Flight mini did a good job showing how much he cares for Kyle, but I have no interest in reading this book or that issue.

AXM under Liu has been fantastic

Ah okay thanks. Thought maybe they'd bring in someone from Marvel or something.

Haven't read the book since Whedon left.

[e_galston]

yeah i've really loved Liu's run so far... much better than Way, Pak or Ellis's run so far

[GHERU]

Haven't read the book since Whedon left.

her first two (three?) issues should still be easy to grab
IMO, a great jumping on point
