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.

For Land, this is tolerable, although there's still way too many posed panels and celebrity references - Wolverine in particular looks like Christina Bale with some mutton chops and a little extra hair thrown in.

As for Psylocke, I'm a little concerned. Fraction has shown he can throw all the eggs out of the basket, but not necessarily in a good way (Definitely not fond of his work in Iron Man), but at the same time, Psylocke is a fan favourite, and to kill her off to bring Kwannon back would be more than a little WTF.

He's mostly managed to keep his faces consistent here, which is a huge step on the road towards average.

Christina Bale?

I'm not really seeing it.

Ugh... Stupid laptop keyboards. Switching between these and the weirdly flat Mac keyboards at uni, I can never get used to one or the other.

Yes, I'm going to blame that and not my spelling.
