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.
And, if the sales start to wobble, we can bring in a
real draw:
Wow, it is easy to write Wolverine being a dick...

OMG, this comic absolutely NEEDS to exist!
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.
Oh this needs to happen. I would buy this book and I would READ it!
I showed this to my husband, and Adamantium Lad is now his favorite superhero!
Adamantium Lad!
That is pretty freakin' awesome!
And it actually SOUNDS cool too.
