This is why X-MEN rock!!!!

Peter David's X-Factor, 45 - an X-Men related title has mainstream comic books first gay kiss between Rictor and Shatterstar.

The series has dropped hints at their relationship before, the panel confirms their deeper feelings, and David is quick to reassure that "no, it’s not a fake out. A number of people seem to be concerned that Star is still under Cortex’s control. Or that Rictor is going to freak out the next panel and say, 'Dude, what the hell?' That would be cheap. I don’t do cheap. Okay, sometimes I do, but not this time. I’m not interested in having people say, 'Peter David introduced this and then chickened out.'"

This is cool! Makes me happy to be a comic book nerd, an X-Men fan and a homo!
