First Look: ASTONISHING X-MEN #51 & the Wedding of the Year

You've probably heard about this by now. It's time to reserve a tux or buy a dress for the wedding everyone will be talking about.

We've heard a lot about the upcoming wedding in ASTONISHING X-MEN. The main focus has been because it will be Northstar marrying his boyfriend, Kyle. This shouldn't be big or shocking news in the real world but in comics, same-sex marriage has only happened a few times. In those terms, this is a big deal for the world of the X-Men. It's been a long time coming and now we can all partake in the celebration.

We saw the proposal in ASTONISHING X-MEN #50. It didn't seem to go too well but somehow it appears the wedding will be taking place. Today, Marvel has released a first look at ASTONISHING X-MEN #51.
