Just a couple of q's for clarity;
Beetleblack - Was the Sasquatch image in the same one as the Aurora/Heather one?
Magik - Which issue/year of the swimsuit special was the Northstar/Hector one from?
Cheers in advance.

Do you believe in -- Magik?
I wish I could remember issue and vol numbers easily. I remember the comics I have by there covers.
So has Marvel stopped making the swimsuit comics? I want to see Busty Babe and Shrieker in one together.

Cheers both of you
I'll have to get out my old issues of the Marvel Swimsuit. I remember a lot of really hot sexy poses from it. I think the best ever was Mary Jane her first pose.
Richard Vasseur
Heh...thanks. I was never fond of artists drawing Northstar as this bulked-out, white-haired monstrosity, but the picture does have a sort of interest as a rarity in the Marvel U, at least.Originally Posted by Magik
And yeah, they don't do the swimsuit issues anymore, sadly.

Suz I think you better look else where if your looking for a guy in Northstar. Unless you plan to try to bring him over to the other side.
Richard Vasseur
Actually, if I was looking for a guy, I think I'd be looking somewhere other than at a fictional character that barely breaks into second-tier popularity.Originally Posted by Richv1

Only Second tier? Maybe he'll make a come back and show up in this new series. Than he could make it up to First tier.

Ask me (and no one has) what JP needs is his own book. Not a limited, but maybe a 12-iss or something

I think he should just rejoin the group. Once and Alphan always an Alphan.

I don't agree with you there entirely. yes, I loved him in Alpha, but he's too much of a character to be limited by other characters. Take what happened with him in UXM; he got lost in the shuffle because there were too many characters. Same with everything past the orig Byrne run on AF. To make him stand out more, JP had to be embroiled in massive controversy. but when said controversy began to illicit more awareness and general acceptance, be fell back into old paterns of existence.Originally Posted by Richv1
Aside from AF 106, and being French Canadian, JP is - as Magneto called him in the 'Eve of Destruction' storyline - (paraphrased) 'just a second-rate Quicksilver'. Which he ain't. he's a unique character, with unique characteristics that ppl put in their books to spark intrigue: "oh my God, there's a gay character in <pick a title>! Wonder if he's gonna snog <pick a character>! <Pick a character> should be gay, and Northstar should be his f***-bunny." Beyond being gay, arrogant (but so is Quicksilver), and Aurora's brother, no writer that I've seen since Byrne gave JP any spotlight to be a good character.

Which really is a shame, since the boy has a lot of generally wasted potential. Considering today's political climate, a well-thought-out tale paralleling Northstar's time with the FLQ would certainly be an interesting read.Originally Posted by HappyCanuck

Marvel Fanfare #28 tried to do just that, but it was a bit of a mish mash and probably did Northstar more damage than good.Originally Posted by suzene

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
