yeah, the more i think about it, the less of a spoiler it is. i mean really...they've been together since nearly the beginning of the entire series.

yeah but

them being a romantic couple isn't until the end, after Yorick finds out that Beth wasn't going to marry him

i guess, but really, the sexual tension was there the entire book.

Wow someone other than mask nominated Black Panther and Storm.

They're a great couple and have had a fine year, I think.

Can you point to an issue or something that would convince someone who doesn't read the series?

DJ Eebs

Okay, fuck, I'll get back to this.

They work well together both in battle and as political leaders, as seen in the BP tie-ins to CW. McDuffie and Hudlin have also done a pretty great job with them as the husband and wife portion of the New FF. McDuffie had them have an argument about defending Epoch from Galactus, and BP seemingly abandons Storm, Johnny, and Ben to face Silver Surfer and Galactus. However, he returns to help them by implementing his Galactus contingency plan. Hudlin's presented them as loving and working well together, but that they have some trust and self-doubt to work through (Storm regarding her place in the royal family, T'Challa regarding Storm's strong ties to the X-Men and former romantic involvement with prominent mutants).

Obviously I don't read BP, but I do read FF and I did not find thier relationship particularly interesting there.

just out of curiosity has the BP book dealt with Messiah Complex at all?

EDIT: Or endangered species or anything mutant related really

EDIT: Or endangered species or anything mutant related really

Since the marriage, the BP book has dealt with the Civil War (and the run up to it), then an extended FF style adventure that is still going involving, among other things, the Marvel Zombies, a negative zone insectoid, Skrulls, and King Solomon's Frogs. As far as I know, this all takes place prior to Messiah Complex and Endangered Species. After this current arc is up, BP looks to be returning to some dangling story lines that've been unresolved since before the Bride arc.
