Over at CBR, George A. Tramountanas interviews X-Factor writer Peter David about events in X-Factor, including the now famous kiss between Rictor and Shatterstar.
Pulling a quote by PAD from the interview: “So we did some redesign work on Shatterstar so he’d fit in with the tone of the book. As for their relationship, I really had three options: 1) I could continue to play coy. 2) I could contradict it. 3) Or I could build on it. In light of such anti-gay activities as Prop 8, option 1 seemed kind of insulting and out-of-touch. Option 2 seemed gutless (what, was I so weirded out by the notion that I would feel the need to toss out what previous writers had done?). On that basis alone, option 3 seemed the way to go.”

this is amazing! Im so glad, this two are finally doing what they should have done many year ago! Shame on Mr Liefeld comment on Shatterstar.
Hi, Patricio,
I absolutely agree with you with everything! Thanks for posting!
FINALY!
It’s been so long since the last time we saw them together… I never believed they’d do it but they did… I just can’t wait for it to be more deepened. This is so great!
(in your face Liefeld!!!!)
It IS great! And what’s greater is how firm both David and Quesada are about keeping this new revelation/ confirmation intact!
