      I've managed to get one for just under double cover-price.
      I'm hoping he is in it!

      A (Northstar-less) preview of Amazing X-Men #15 is up http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...eview&id=25413

      I'll let people know Weds morning if he actually appears inside.

      I was able to get one too for $10US. I don't think my LCS is aware of how low the print run is on this issue. I was expecting a heck of a lot higher price. If Northstar isn't in it I will buy the regular cover anyway, to support the title.

      My LCS has been offering all the other Welcome Home Variants at (full) cover price; this is the only one that's been upp'ed.
      Presumably because if the low-print run for the title, like you say.

      For anyone who is considering making a trip to their LCS just for Amazing X-Men #15...

      SPOILERS FOR ANYONE
      WHO DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW IF
      NORTHSTAR APPEARS OR NOT

      He does appear on the last few pages.
      Not a major part but he has lines... and marginally pointy ears.

      I'll add solicit pages for the rest of the arc.

      Hey Phil. You may want to take another gander at the Avengers Now! Handbook. In the Avengers Update Appendix section, on page 15 of the book, Marrina is listed between Victor Mancha and Martinex. It's a small entry but an entry nonetheless.

      Yeah, but it's an appendix entry rather than an actual handbook entry...
