  1. So I put this on my pull list, and then read the preview to discover that the writing is shoddy, at best.

  2. hmm I did the same thing. I pulled it, looked at the preview, then decided 3.99 was too much for what seemed like a "Waaa-Fest" for Nightcrawler. Besides, he’ll be back if the writers ever want him to be. Skip

    They’re writing out our Kurt? Damn, he’s one of my favourites.

  4. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    Yeah, I’m not sure why they would have him leave.  His powers are only somewhat redundant, but so what!  X-23 and Wolverine,  Emma and Jean, etc.  Might have same powers, but each bring something to the team.  Not to mention Kurt has crazy acrobatic skills.  I don’t like it.  Tempted to pick this up just to see how they do it, but I don’t think so

  5. As a friend of mine (who is a HUGE Nightcrawler fan) pointed out: Since when did redundant powers keep you out of the X-Men?  Heck, Storm led the X-Men WITHOUT powers.  Pixie’s a better teleporter?  Yay!  Can she fight with a sword, does she have years of experience both as a leader and as a superhero, and does she have the same kind of spiritual grounding of Nightcrawler?  So the premise seems shaky here.

    hmmm…

  7. Askanison Askanison says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  get rid of Pixie and keep Kurt.

  8. Kory Kory says:

    They’re taking Nightcrawler off the X-Men?  Man, thank god I dropped Uncanny.  Kurt was one of the few reasons I was reading it in the first place.

  9. J4K3 J4K3 says:

    I’ll be picking this up. I guess.

    @Kory - That’s sad.

  10. Kory Kory says:

    @J4K3: How is that sad?  What’s wrong with reading a book that have characters you like in it?  One of the main reasons I picked up Uncanny a few issues back was because I liked the team they had, among them being Nightcrawler.

    And FYI, I didn’t drop Uncanny X-Men because one of the characters I like is leaving, I dropped it because the story was boring as hell.  So please have a little more info before you go calling someone "sad". :)

    Marvel screws up another character yet again

  12. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    @phizeta564-how?

  13. COWoDOOM COWoDOOM says:

    Is X-Infurnus over? If it is wow. I totally skipped that event by accident.

    I hope Nightcrawler doesn’t just disapear for a few years after this. 

  14. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    Guys, I’m assuming Nightcrawler is leaving b/c they are setting up plans for him elsewhere.  Or maybe I just want to daydream about a reunion of the original Excalibur team.

    Also, I havent’ read the preview but Asmus wrote a really nice Kurt story in the ‘Manifest Destiny’ anthology series.

  15. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    @Ohcaroline-Hmmm…Nightcrawler joins Capt. Brit????  Probably not, but a guy can dream right?

  16. Jim Mroczkowski Jimski (@jimski) says:

    It will be very interesting to reread these comments after actually seeing the issue.

  17. I read, but didn’t buy…thank God.  What a waste of $4 that would have been.  On the other hand, it reminded me how much I liked the Nightcrawler solo series from a while back.
