Thanks for moving this JSherlock. I wasn't sure which forum to put it in, since it does have Nightcrawler in it.

BTW, the spelling errors are those of the transcriber at ComicMix, not Mr. Claremont.

"... The origins of characters that were established after I left are not necessarily the origins that we will encounter here...":D

(However, I don't see Kurt on the cover. Are we sure he's in there somewhere? Or did we establish that he was in Excalibur at the time?
And has this already come out?)

Yes he is in it and it came out this Wednesday.

Remember the link Slightconfuse gave us over on Marvel to the digital comics, where Kurt is described "Kurt Wagner, whose most human soul is framed by a body that appears to be anything but." ?

That is a quote from the last seven pages, which are in addition to the three-issue reprint which comprises most of this issue.

BTW, the bold text is theirs, not mine. A good sign, I think.

Wow. I go away for a couple weeks and everything happens.

SO do you think this means we'll see more Kurt? More character stuff, anyways?

To Neling:

YES!!!! Now I remember that!!!! I must have been so amazed at that statement, it must have temporarily dazed me and I lost track of what was going on....(or at least that's what I'm telling myself). Thanks for bringing me back to my senses!

If it came out Wednesday.....then maybe I can get my hands on it this week. Thanks!

And hi Elfdame:wave!

To OneItalianFlower:
We can only hope.

This is interesting:

**Okay...one more question....(I'm so out of touch)...
Is Claremont really thinking of killing off Wolverine???

Hmm... I wonder if he's going to touch upon every character/hero.

I would love to see him re-invent X-men and the other Marvel Heroes before all this Civil War, House of M, and Second mutation Crap happens.
