Showing two people in love just wanting to be married and happy is a good thing- opening a kid's mind or showing a gay kid that change really is coming and they dont have to be ashamed to be different is awesome.
This. Absolutely this; especially the last sentence.

I can be okay with this. There are some pretty great opposing opinion articles at Comics Alliance and Comic Book Resources. I tend toward the CBR position. Is this going to rake in a few more dimes for Marvel? Absolutely. It's topical, trending even. Does that suck? Eh. It's only a bad thing if Jean and Kyle aren't treated with respect, but as caricatures and punchlines. So far that doesn't seem to be the case.

I have to say, I'm a fan of Marvel attempting to make gay characters matter. Shatterstar and Richter are... minor? Even Wiccan and Hulkling had to wait more than five years of being in a committed relationship before they could kiss. Putting Jean on a major (sort of major) team and them having him get hitched may seem a little stilted (might be) but it isn't bad socially, and it isn't necessarily bad for comics and comics plot. This is good. It's great. But the story is highlighting Northstar that may actually be more exclusive than inclusive. It is still true that comics does not have strong gay characters that actually matter in their respective universes. Here's to hoping that changes.


So, posted a while ago, there were a few Red Skull/Destro mashups (sexy) and I'm finding the headswap is a little loose. What's the fix to those who did it?

Found a couple Hulk 4-packs at my wal-mart. Should I have gotten them?
