Astonishing X-Men #51
In this pivotal issue of Astonishing X-Men, Northstar prepares for his long-awaited wedding, his memories flashing back to the team’s tense rescue of Kyle and the shocking revelation that Karma was manipulating him—though she slipped away before they could stop her. The ceremony unfolds smoothly, surprising even the most skeptical guests, but peace is short-lived as the celebration ends with Wolverine ambushed by Karma in the aftermath. Written by Marjorie Liu and illustrated by Mike Perkins, with inks by Andrew Hennessy and colors by Andy Troy, Jim Charalampidis, and Rachelle Rosenberg, the issue blends emotional weight with rising tension. The cover by Dustin Weaver captures the moment’s intensity.
