How should nightcrawler return?
I still say that if getting a priest, security, etc was an issue, they could have put his body in the Morgue (or heck, even a decent freezer would have done) so that they could give him a real funeral.
Personally, my least favorite part about the funeral is not the whole "It wasn't Catholic" thing, but rather the horrid "eulogies" given. Beast was positively rude and Emma simply didn't say anything good.
Also, standing around doing nothing while someone is dying -- not even bothering to, you know perform basic CPR ticked me off.

RIP Kurt Wagner. You were the character who brought in me into comics, who introduced me and inspired me. Now your death has sent me away again. Wherever you are in the Marvel Universe, I hope its someplace pleasant.Right across the lane from the demon and just down the wall from Wolverine.

Based on what I've seen from SC and from the previews of Legacy, looks like bystanders have been in the crossfire all along. Anyway, all of that could have easily been solved by... well... a good freezer and holding off a little. Saying, "This isn't what Kurt would have wanted," doesn't do any good if there was any way they could have come through with what he would have preferred. And there was. I don't take it in good faith that they tried everything off panel to arrange the funeral he would have wanted and it didn't work out. Because we know they made no attempt to treat his injuries or resuscitate him.
And this is the worst effect Nightcrawler's death and how it was handled has had on me. I've lost respect for all the other characters and confidence in Marvel.
Pfft. Forget about saving mutants. To me, the real suspense story is whether or not my interest in the X-books will ever be salvaged.

Well, it could be argued that the characters are aware of the danger they face and feared they wouldn't live long enough to give Kurt any funeral if they waited. I'm not quite buying that one, though. The lack of any visible attempt to revive him was also a poor move on the part of the writers involved. Having them try and fail is far better than having them stand around like a bunch of morons.
I know! Nocturne should come back and be all "Daddy, NOOOOO!!!" then chase down the Scarlet Witch to tell her that she's the product of an alternate-Earth pairing of the two. Wanda sees that TJ's nifty, so she talks Kurt back into existence with "I want me some sexy blue Kurt to make babies!" and tries to seduce him.

Well, it would be awfully chivalrous and very much in character for Kurt to come back from the dead for the convenience of a lady.

We saw the body under the sheet, but didn't get a look inside the coffin. So I have a secret hope that Amanda got Scott's call, 'ported in, took the body to wherever she works now and started on some necromancy. Three years from now, Kurt wanders into the X-Men's kitchen and answers everyone's puzzled looks with a shrug. "You know how possessive Amanda can be. What'd I miss?"

Well it doesn't look like Nightcrawler will be back by September, which tells me one thing. I'd better brace for what I'll likely find to be the worst summer for comics. Ever.

I think I heard neling's heart skip a beat. Because it implies it might happen at some point.

I'm sorry. What a lot of nerve that guy has smarting off about a character death he has to know has upset a lot of fans.
Of course, to be fair, I do agree with what he posts here...
http://www.formspring.me/TomBrevoort/q/566026100
So would bringing Kurt back be an admission that he shouldn't have been killed off?

Of course he's implying it will happen. And he's not really in a position where he can show preference over certain characters, publicly at least. Even if Kurt is his favorite, he can't really show it. If Kurt's not, he can't show that either. He gave as blunt an answer as he could while still being a Corporate Exec to a Comic Corporation.

I don't know. He could either throw us a bone or give us some closure. But is keeping an angry fanbase in suspense with non-answers really going to sell more books?

Neling, you're taking it way too personally.
He's not trying to hurt Nightcrawler fans. How could he possibly, in any realm of reality, give away when he was going to come back, even if he knew? Seriously? He can't do that.
Most of his responses end in "And just keep reading..." because that is not only a spoiler, it's a ruin=er.
He also answered my question:
So.... I'm gonna wait and see.

He also answered my question:
As you can see, he really can't confirm or deny anything. I said it more so he would know that they're grabbing a fan, and potentially losing him again. He's telling ME "There's more to it than you think, wait and see."
Tom, I don't have enough space so let me summarize. Ultimate Spider-Man is still fantastic. I never thought I'd say this, but ASM actually was good. I am still pissed about "BND", but "Shed Pt. 1" was terrific. But Spidey joining the X-Crew? Really???? by GrooGrux86DMB
Glad you're liking it all. And hey, wait and see.
So.... I'm gonna wait and see.

Well, yeah he doesn't have a lot of Tact, but I don't really think he's in a position where he can afford to.
Look at his latest question:
Look at his latest question:
It's understandable that he gets worn down. And i'm building up to my Kurt question, letting him know that I think Marvel has made some good steps to correcting BND, that I approve of their Heroic Age (thus far) and so on and so forth, so that when I do ask about Nightcrawler, he knows it's not JUST a rabid Kurt fan, but a rabid MARVEL fan, who is genuinely concerned for the direction of the X-Books. I think he'll respond better to that than repetitive use of "When's Nightcrawler coming back?"What annoys you the most: Jean questions, OMD questions, or Ultimatuum questions? by alexkerscher
Right this moment, it's the OMD questions--primarily because they're inevitably the same questions asked bythe same people over and over again, who never want to listen to the answers and who instead repeat their talking points ad nauseum. It's like dealing with the Lunatic Fringe of whatever political party you like least--it's not a conversation, it's not a discussion, it's an attack disguised as civility, and it gets old really fast. I don't mind answering new questions about any of this stuff, but when it's teh same guys doing the same stand-up routines they were trucking out two years ago, it gets a little it old. Some fresh material, please, folks.

Clever stuff. However, when the best I have to expect from Marvel is the prospect that they might correct some mistakes while they make more, I'll see. But I won't spend my money. And I may give up even waiting.

What would really be bad is if Hope brings him back before the end, and he ends up sacrificing his life for her dumb butt again.
