First Look: Amazing X-Men #1’s Return of Nightcrawler

By Andy Hunsaker

 

No one stays dead in comics, so why not bring back Kurt Wagner, everyone’s favorite fuzzy elf from Ye Olden Giant-Sized X-Men #1? That’s what writer Jason Aaron and artist Ed McGuinness are slated to do in Amazing X-Men, a new book in the mutant pantheon that’s going to bring Nightcrawler back to life.

Here’s Marvel’s synopsis blurb:  “What would you do to save a fallen friend? This November, in the wake of Battle of the Atom, Wolverine must assemble the X-Men’s finest to attempt a daring rescue in Amazing X-Men #1. The X-Men are through mourning the loss of Nightcrawler, the “heart and soul” of their family – it’s time to act! Wolverine must lead Storm, Beast, Ice Man and more on an epic journey to recover one of their greatest allies – in a story that’s been building since Wolverine and the X-Men #1!”

Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast.  Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs.  If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title.  If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
