Marvel Regenesises Nightcrawler

In December you can thrill to the adventures of Uncanny X-Force #19, now starring Kurt Wagner, the elf himself, Nightcrawler, as presented by Rick Remender and Robbi Rodriguez.

And as with all Marvel covers now, there are some other dudes standing in the shadows, meant to spur your speculation. I say we don’t give it them them. No guesses! You can do that right?

Comments

  1. Not guessing about shadows but that is AoA Nightcrawler right?

  2. Besides Nightcrawler, looks like the same X-Force team. Psylocke, Deadpool, Fantomex. At least that’s what I see.

  3. Looks like he’s got the same tattoo Psylocke had for a while, after she was resurrected (or brought back from near death, I forget).

  4. that’s a pretty cool team line up, I just wish Opena would stay on the book forever but Remender is awesome.

  5. yeah but there are other members of the team that aren’t in the image…does that mean they are gone?

    I really want that original art team back on this book. It was the most unique thing happening in superhero comics, now it just blends in with the rest.

  6. Anything that finally brings back Nightcrawler makes me happy.

  7. I’m excited to have the AoA Nightcrawler in the book, but I think it spoils the end of the current story now. I think he should have been one of the obvious-who-it-is blacked out ones, which I think would have made more excitement since some people still might have thought it was the 616 one

  8. Sadly, all the Rick Remender in the world couldn’t get me to buy a book with Deadpool in it, and that sucks, because Remender is awesome.

    • I was of the exact same opinion. I detested Deadpool with every fiber of my being but Remender makes him work on the team. You should really give the first trade a go, I think you might be pleasantly surprised..

    • What David said. Seriously, try the first trade out. Not even Deadpool is able to ruin this book. If Deadpool was the character that Remender writes him as, he wouldn’t be even close to as hated as he currently is.

  9. AoA Nightcrawler! Cool, no more Priest musings, I guess Wolverine won’t be officially on this team anymore? Is this a clue about Warren also?

    • That’s what I thought when I say the book. That Wolverine is off given his big spat with Cyclops, which makes sense. He’s got more important things to worry about. But no Angel/Archangel? Hmmm. That’s a bit more curious given the current story line or X-Force. Wonder what that means.

    • The priest thing was the worst thing they ever did with that character. It immediately put him into a box that they weren’t able to get him out of. His religion was always a good part of what made him a multifaceted character but only a part.

  10. I really like Nightcrawler and can’t presume to say what the next version of this book will be about, but I don’t relish the prospect of “fuzzy elf” being on the child-murder team.

  11. I’ll take all the Nightcrawler I can get

  12. I think that the people in shadow are Elektra, Punisher and John Constantine. How “edgy” and “cool” would that book be? Fifteen-year-old me would by five of them. (Of course, that me would only pay seventy-five cents each for them, which would still cost him less than the cover price for this issue.)

  13. Favorite book on the stands. Can’t wait to read this.

  14. Nightcrawler is back but, OUCH!!! Psylocke is standing on his leg.

  15. Psylock, Deadpool, and Multiple Man, just to piss off Peter David.

  16. where is Jean?

  17. I’m guessing Arcangel stays in AOA world and AOA Nightcrawler replaces him in 616 for the time being. Remender should do a new AOA miniseries.

    • I really enjoy Remender usually.
      But I haven’t really got the impression he has a very firm grasp of the AoA.

      The whacky combo characters- really threw me.
      And to me the general tone is just way off.

      Bringing back AoA Nightcrawler could be good though
      feels like a nice Exiles borrow.+

    • I heard in the through the rumor mill that they may bring in more characters from AoA into the 616.
