Spoiler Alert!
I just finished Wolverine #26 and guess who's back? Yup, Northstar leading an army of ressurected super folks hellbent on destroying SHIELD.
How did the Hand get their grubby mitts on him? Well, he almost had his head sawed off by a doctor (to prevent him from being brought back) only to be 'saved' by Iceman, Polaris and Dani Moonstar who wished to say their last goodbyes. They do talk about trying to contact JP's family but give no mention of Aurora or AF. It's then that Elektra and some ninjas teleport in, grab his body and take off before the aforementioned X-men can lift a finger to stop them.
The next we see him, Northstar is flying towards a SHIELD helicarrier along side Elektra and closely followed by roughly four dozen super powered people each carrying various bits of equipment. Whether these are weapons or are tech meant for some other purpose isn't revealed.
