Editing Northstar (character) (section)

==Reception==

=== Critical reception ===
Stacie Rook of ''[[Screen Rant]]'' said, "Northstar married his husband in the comics in 2012, in what was the first depiction of a same-sex wedding in Marvel Comics. His position as the first openly gay Marvel character is important for the history of representation, and an on-screen portrayal of him would be a great way to honor that milestone."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Rook |first=Stacie |date=2021-09-12 |title=10 LGBTQ+ Marvel Heroes That Should Join The MCU |url=https://screenrant.com/lgbtq-marvel-heroes-join-mscu/ |access-date=2022-11-10 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US}}</ref>

=== Volumes ===
The issue of ''[[Alpha Flight (comic book)|Alpha Flight]]'' in which Northstar came out was hugely popular. ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' magazine reported that a store on [[Bleecker Street]] in [[New York City]] resorted to making customers who wanted to buy a copy of it to purchase a second comic as well. Later, they changed the policy to require that everyone who bought a copy had to buy an issue of the series ''[[The Punisher War Zone (1992 series)|The Punisher War Zone]]'' as well. The store claimed they did this to prevent hoarding of the comic. The policy was in effect for thirty minutes until the store was all sold out. In the end, they have received only one complaint.<ref>{{cite web |date=February 10, 1992 |title=Comic Store Policy No Laughing Matter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FuQCAAAAMBAJ&q=Punisher+War+zone+1992&pg=PA10 |access-date=March 18, 2017 |page=10 |magazine=[[New York (magazine)|New York]]}}</ref>
