Hey Look Who Showed Up!
It's Northstar! Finally!
I'm now convinced that I have the mutant power to start talking about something right before it happens, as I was talking about Northstar just last week. I'll call it my 'Foot in Mouth' powers.
Anyway, for those who haven't grabbed books this week, I highly recommend you pick up Uncanny X-men #508, as it brings Northstar back to the team. We discover he's been living it up as a famous snowboarder in Canada, with a boyfriend apparently. Wolverine recruits him and his sister for the team. There is some fantastic dialogue that I won't spoil at this point since it just came out, but it's very well written, so thanks should go out to Mr. Matt Fraction. Based on what happens I have a sneaking suspicion that it was written to clear up some of the angst surrounding Northstar's treatment in the last few years.
So now we've seen Northstar with a love interest, can a kiss be far behind? Will it make it in time for Pride month? We'll see. Go read it!

"And I still feel weird about killing you that one time..." Best Wolverine line ever. It was cool to see Wolvie be the one to recruit Northstar, as I was begining to wonder if all that recent history between the two was ever even going to get a mention. Loved their interaction. If issue 508 is any indication, Fraction is going to write an awesome Northstar.
I love Northstar and I'm so glad he's back... and that he's gay-gay, not just gay and never does anything about it
I have a superpower where I can go "Oh yeah? Name one time I did that!" and no one can ever remember anything even if i've done it like 80 times.
Also, I have some sort of aura that causes old people to like me. Either the same one or a different one prevents people from ever asking me for money.
yeah! northstar is back! and he ain't taking no crap either!
so now that he's back ... when are the young avengers going to go for another round???
