JOE QUESADA COMMENTS ON NORTHSTAR
Discuss this in the Alpha Waves Forum.
In a recent Q&A with Newsarama, Marvel Editor In Chief was asked a question regarding Northstar.
NRAMA: “ShadowPsykie”…
”Hey Joe, I was just curious. Considering all the abuse he was put through this past year, any plans on bringing back Northstar (Jean-Paul) or is he gonna be relegated to the bowels of S.H.I.E.L.D. and never heard from again?
”I know you can't tell us if he is one of the mutants who lost his powers (I really hope he didn't!), but can you at least let us know if we will see him anytime soon?”
JQ: I have to remain quiet about this one for a bit. Stay tuned “ShadowPsykie”, we’re not forgetting about Northstar.

X-MEN UNLIMITED 12 FEATURES A DRUNKEN PUCK
Discuss this in the Alpha Waves Forum.
In a recent interview, author of a short Wolverine story, in X-Men Unlimited, Author Christopher E. Long discusses his take on the classic Alpha Flight character, Puck, and how Wolverine holds an "Intervention" for him.
|
"Long's story has Wolverine confronting Puck in a bar and hoping to help pull his friend up from rock bottom. "The most compelling thing for my story is that Wolverine has been in the shit," Long stated. "He's basically coming in and telling his friend Eugene that the way he's living his life is fucked up. My whole life I've been having people tell me the way I'm living my life is fucked up, but the people whose message resonates with me the most are the people that I can relate to. That I can look at them and I'm like, 'Shit. They know what they're talking about.' That's basically what Wolverine is doing. He's like, 'Hey, I know what it is to be lost. I know what I'm talking about."
