Popular gay comic writer/artist Tim Fish (Cavalcade of Boys, Young Bottoms in Love) has gone on record about his upcoming Northstar story in Nation X #2 due January 8. Apparently he was a bit gun-shy about announcing it because he’s been slated to do a story about Marvel’s first out and proud hero before. That project died, but this time his inks have met with Marvel’s approval and been passed on the the colorist so it is happening. Congrats Tim! I’m looking forward to learning more about Kyle… like his last name and occupation for one. Who is he that he landed a jet setting world famous ex-Olympic skier turned snowboard entrepreneur/superhero. Tell us all about the fabulousness that is Kyle.

It is an 8 page story about the impact the separation of Northstar living on the X-Men’s Utopia is having upon the relationship between Jean Paul and his boyfriend, fellow Canadian "Kyle."

This story might be a first… Northstar intorduces Kyle as his BF and they have implied sex!

Although he was the first Marvel hero revealed to be gay way back in 1992, Northstar hadn’t been given a love interest until recently when Kyle was first introduced in Uncanny X-Men #508.

Wolverine asks Northstar to join the X-Men in Uncanny #508 which is also the first appearance of Northstar's first on-panel boyfriend... Kyle. Wolverine asks Northstar to join the X-Men in Uncanny #508 which is also the first appearance of Northstar's first on-panel boyfriend... Kyle.

    Wowee! This is pretty big! A gay creator writing a gay character who actually gets to be gay. Kudos to Marvel and big congratulations to Tim Fish. Northstar is in good hands.

    Northstar is in great hands with Mr. Fish. I recommend Cavalcade of Boys to any gay comic fans I know.
    And some straight ones as well :)

    So excited! Tim is the best! :o )

    Tim and I did a bunch of fun video-blogs from Comic-Con a couple of years back.
