Phil Noto’s Northstar Wedding Cover: Beautiful Art, Terrible Omen

By Andrew Wheeler

The great Phil Noto is a master at catching those little moments of empathy. And that makes him a great choice for the variant cover for Astonishing X-Men #51, the wedding of Jean-Paul Beaubier (Northstar) and Kyle Jinadu.

The cover is a “create your own wedding” variant featuring tender snapshots of some of Marvel’s best-known couples, including Jean-Paul and Kyle. It also features a prominent blank spot where fans can add their own wedding photo or draw one in. It’s a very sweet idea, and Noto’s portraits are beautiful, but we couldn’t help notice a very important thing: most of these couples are not together anymore. That can’t be a good sign.

“So those are the models for Jean-Paul and Kyle’s marriage. Separation, divorce, annulment, insanity, abuse, affairs, abandonment, villainy, death, sea monsters and fictional children.

Good luck, guys!”

Personally I think Mantis marrying a plant-ghost of the guy she was stringing along takes the cake.

YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS COME BACK

Also if you consider comic book time (i.e., six monthly issues do not represent six months in the lives of the characters), you’d think they’d still be making this statue by the time Johnny returned.
