Astonishing X-Men #51 Wedding Variant

The wedding bells are ringing this June for Northstar and his soon-to-be husband Kyle and Marvel will be celebrating with a get-a-sketch variant cover for Astonoshing X-Men #51.

The cover, drawn by Phil Noto, has other Marvel married couples posing for the camera. One frame is an empty canvas to get a drawing done by your favorite artist.

"What we're trying to accomplish has everything to do with telling a love story, and nothing at all to do with politics," says Astonishing X-Men writer Marjorie Liu. "These are two characters who needed their relationship to evolve, and rather than do the usual thing -- like, break them up or add some artificial strife -- we're writing about what many people in love do in the real world: They get married. As for the rest -- the recent vote, Obama -- these are interesting times, that's all I can say."

Here is the official information about the upcoming wedding:
