Northstar! Special Returning Character!
Four scans from Uncanny X-Men #508, featuring surprisingly tolerable art from Greg Land.
In our first scene, we drop in on Jean-Paul Beaubier/Northstar, currently living it up as a sports superstar
If anyone's temperament says "Chief Operating Officer", it's Aurora.
So, is Aurora coming too?
Anyway, elsewhere, Red Queen and co. have stolen Kwannon's body, and it turns out they've also got Psylocke (apparently now back from the Exiles):
There are two different interpretations of this scene in circulation: the first, that they reanimated Kwannon's body (which used to be Psylocke's) and transferred Psylocke's mind into it, or they reanimated Kwannons body and used Psylocke's lifeforce to resurrect Kwannon (thus, by implication, killing Psylocke).
Regardless, doubtless Psylocke will be alive by arc's end, and in her standard Asian body, since that's the one they make all the action figures of (and all adaptations of the character use).
From the first preview that I saw of Land's art, I thought "that looks surprisingly tolerable for Greg Land"; and, having read the whole issue, that still holds. He's still a bad artist and lazy thief to boot, but he didn't ruin the issue; I'm still using the "thief: greg land" tag, though.
