In retrospect, it seems obvious:

Longtime readers know I'm a huge Nightcrawler fan, and that in the recent Marvel crossover "Second Coming" he was killed off. Kurt got the ax because he's one of the relatively few X-Men not killed off and brought back already, and because he hasn't had a lot to do in the X-Books lately. But it's not like he didn't have his chance: he had his own series in 2004, with art by Darick Robertson. Even with moments like Nightcrawler snapping Wolverine's neck, socking Mephisto one in the kisser, dressing up as a pirate; the book just never seemed to hit it big.

And then, while on a walk the other day, I had an idea on how it could: play up the Wolverine angle, but in a manner that hadn't been done in comics for some time and perhaps never at Marvel.
I was positive there was a Jimmy Olsen cover like this, but now I'm not sure: I was thinking of something, though.
To be fair, that's not terrible advice...
Search Wolverine's Pal, and you're going to get a bunch of phase alternate line stuff.
Oh, Canada.
Oh, Adamantium Lad is technically obeying the Legion's rule about teenagers: he's 214.
Where is my old time distorter?
And, if the sales start to wobble, we can bring in a real draw:
Just a matter of time until Deadpool's Pal is a comic, with someone.
Wow, it is easy to write Wolverine being a dick...

    Now when Wolverine says draft picks, is he talking sports, or draft beer? It could go either way.

    And maybe Wolverine just being a dick to people (rather than killing them) is what the X-Books need more of. Besides swashbuckling Nightcrawler, of course.

    Is Canadian beer REALLY that good?

    Or is Nightcrawler REALLY that bad? ;-)

    What we really need is the original Excalibur team back -- with Kurt in charge!

    Okay, I would buy that.

    I mean, even aside from being a fan of Kurt.
