"Freshly dead."

The new Chaos War: X-Men features the return of some dead X-Men that you might think of, like Thunderbird and Banshee; but curiously omits some you might expect, like Phoenix, Cable, and Nightcrawler. But, bringing back those characters makes the book all about them, especially Phoenix. On the other hand, the dead X-Men ranks then have to be filled with dead Multiple Man duplicates and a couple of the Stepford Cuckoos.

I kept up on the solicits for Wolverine and his recent trip to hell, on the off-chance he'd run into Nightcrawler there. But the implication is that Kurt would've gone to heaven, from all his old priest stuff. But...Nightcrawler's met Thor, more than once. And has been to Asgard. And if you believe in Thor and Odin (and even if he doesn't revere them, he has to believe in them) and you die in battle, where do you go? Hmm. We'll see where this goes...
