About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2012 'Astonishing X-Men: Northstar' miniseries, focusing on Jean-Paul Beaubier—the mutant speedster Northstar—as he navigates a major life change. Written by Greg Pak, the story follows Northstar's proposal to his longtime partner Kyle Jinadu, making headlines as Marvel's first same-sex wedding. The arc also involves the X-Men dealing with a mysterious threat tied to Northstar's past, with appearances by characters like Wolverine, Storm, and Iceman.

In "LDR," Northstar confronts Mr. Hyde in a tense showdown that takes a heartbreaking turn when he discovers a baby with AIDS abandoned in a trash can. Fueled by the moment’s gravity, he makes a bold public declaration of his sexuality, using his platform to shine a light on the ongoing struggle against AIDS. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Mark Pacella, with inks by Dan Panosian, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Janice Chiang, the issue’s raw emotional core is captured in Dustin Weaver’s striking cover.
