A couple of things.

For the five people on this comm who I haven't already pushed this link on, Tim Fish is doing a Northstar short in Nation-X #2, coming out next month.


Also, Richard Pini reports that the script to the Elfquest movie has been finished. Not much meat there, so here's the movie news timeline.




From Alpha Flight #1 (available in trade)



From Alpha Flight #22 (out of print)



From X-Men/Alpha Flight: The Gift (available in multiple trades)





I don't need to point out the fail here, do I?

*Yes, I know about the mouth-to-mouth with Paulie Provenzano, but so far as I'm concerned, hackneyed, homophobic jokes don't count.

He's a much older character than just 92. 92 was the year he officially came out, 5 years after the fairy-AIDS fiasco. Rumor was he was to be written off in 87 as dying from AIDS but in the fracas and retcon, he survived to this day. So I suppose the whole incident was a mix blessing.

Yes, I know. I'm still not sure what your original point was. It seemed as if you meant that the reason he was only kissed by girls was because of the era when these comics were printed. Mine was that he's been out for almost twenty years at this point and his last kiss with anyone, let alone a guy, was back in the mid-eighties.

The reason they showed him being kissed by women was for the inevitable 'shock' reaction by Aurora nd Rogue, who were acting as stand-ins for the reader, who at that point weren't supposed to be fully aware that JP was gay. Since being gay isn't visual, the only way to illustrate was to have him (or other characters) flinch when being kissed by girls, or show him kissing a guy, or wear an "I'm GAY!" T-shirt. Can't say I'm excited by the X-Nation story, as it's based upon a relationship that's based upon Land having found a guy he found easy enough to trace as JP's BF. I see JP as a player, sports star that he is.
