Astonishing X-Men, Volume 10: Northstar by Marjorie Liu

2.0

I really wanted to love this one for two reasons:
1) A Canadian superhero (YAAAYYY!)

2) A gay superhero (DOUBLE YAY!)

...but I just couldn't bring myself to like Northstar. He's needy, selfish, and annoying. He's not much of a superhero and he doesn't seem to be a great boyfriend either.
