New costume! I really like Humberto's art so I'm excited for this.

I'm stoked about this!

I think my prediction about Marvel morphing a super group for magic out of various benched team members may be happening soon too. Brevoort and others keep dropping hints that Strange has his own title but he'll busy else where and the Cosmic universe is going to finally be aligned long enough for the magical universe of Marvel to really start acting up. "Expect more, and BIGGER, Marvel Magic as Dr. Strange movie gets closer!" is what Axel Alonso said (more or less).

That costume looks like it's awfully useful for battlin' demons. Just sayin'.

Call me under whelmed by Kurt in this issue. Also, typically love Humberto's art but the scene with Kurt just didn't come across well.

I rather liked issue one, but I was certainly left wanting moar Nightcrawlery goodness.

The issue itself was interesting, the 'crawler portion just left me a little cold. No great illustrated shots and the dialogue left me wondering if his personality is going to be dour. I loved the first issues of Amazing, this just didn't catch me the same way.

I really did enjoy the issue, but I agree. Needed more Kurt. I am concerned about his plight. That cover for Issue 7 is awesome, but worrisome... It's good to be back.

If Kurt shows up in a title and Jason Aaron isn't writing him, he gets beaten or chased away. Every time. It's been this way for at least a decade and I'm getting rather tired of it. That said, the issue was great and I'm a huge Ramos fan. I really dug his Amazing Spider-Man run and I've been looking forward to this series for a bit. I'm a little disappointed they didn't diverse the team up a tad more... Sorta surprised they tossed Rachel aside for All-New Jean Grey. Guess you gotta stick her somewhere though, right?

Also, can someone please explain to me what in the hell Weirdworld is? My friend wanted me to try Black Knight but I'm so confused. The name got dropped a lot during "Secret Wars."

The exception being the Nightcrawler solo title by Claremont & Nauck... Also, I know it doesn't really count, but Remender treated Kurt Darkholme pretty well and Pak featured Kid Nightcrawler as much as anyone else...

I'm a great proponent of him being a member of a smaller or non-X team. Remember Excalibur? I'd love a buddy book with another Marvel character, regardless of their team affiliation. I hope X-Men Apocalypse helps boost his popularity in the comics.

As far as Extraordinary X-Men is concerned, I'm just glad Nightcrawler is on their minds on the same level as Old Man Logan. I feel like Nightcrawler is in the situation he's in because he was still dedicated to being a hero but had no team to back him up when backed into a corner. Also, his poor tail! Hope everything's okay...

Looks like the good Doctor Essex has messed our boy up good. Interesting that he's interested in someone who's last name isn't Grey or Summers...

Kinda digging the armour and flowing indigo locks, though Just hope they actually do something with him that doesn't involve him going batshit crazy again.

So we are a few issues in and I must say that I like what they are doing with Kurt, I love his new look.
