AoA, Excalibur, whatever. What is your favorite issue with Nightcrawler in it? Oh, and why?

wow! that's a though question!!! i don't have any particulary fav issue, is hard for me to pick one...........*ponders* maybe it's giant size 1 cuz it is his first appeareance........*ponders again* there is another one, where he tricked Black Tom Cassidy making him think he was the professor Xavier!!! i love that movement! it was so clever!!!

::love: also the ish when he returned to the x-men again!! i was so happy to see him again back in the x-men.
i guess "Demon in the Church" was in Excalibur #75

Yeah that's "Hello I Must Be Going" Ach! I hate that issue!:(:bawl:
My fave is Excalibur 58 but as I've said countless times mostly because it was what started this whole thing for me. Also it really is a wonderful ish!:)
It's classic Excalibur! Creative, funny, has all my fave characters from that time and a lip massage scene with Nighty and Cerise!:naughty:

Honestly? I don't have an absolute favorite. I like Dave's mini, it was just SO CUTE! Many of his Uncanny issues were great, but Excalibur is the reason I fell for Nighty. The original Claremont/Davis ones and the later Davis ones all rocked! I also liked Warren Ellis' run on the book.

Standouts and why?
Excalibur Bookshelf Edition: When he put Brian in his place! That one scene set the tone for the entire run of Excalibur. Kurt was always the leader, always the hero, not Captain Britain.
Excalibur 16: Conan! Great cover (rrroOW) great story.
Excalibur 42: The return of Alan Davis! Yay!
Excalibur 99-100: Tough Kurt. Okay, he had a bad outfit and hair, but his attitude kicked ass!

I've also always loved his return to the X-Men, because that was the first issue I ever saw him in. Reading my Hubby's X-Men issues, I immediately liked the funny blue guy in the Hawaiian shirt and wanted to learn more. He suggested I read Excalibur and told be all about Nighty. I think he created a monster.

...I really have to go get Excalibur 16. I get the feeling I'm really missing out!

Yes! Go get it! Now! You won't regret it.

;pant;

: (yes he's dressed like that inside the issue too!

: )

...Oh. Oh MY! Um...I can't wait until next wensday. Heh. I think I am going to be upset if they don't have that issue!

I like any Nightcrawler appearance where said newbie writer doesn't turn him into a stumbling bafoon *cough*Warren Ellis*cough*

Hmmm. . . . I think I may be coming down with something.

*cough*no talent hack*cough*

Lol! I can see your point, even if I don't know enough of the work to judge. Hee! You're funny. And yes, I'm hyper. Eating candy corn and honey pumpkins does that to me!

Hey, when did Warren Ellis make him a stumbling buffoon? I always thought his Kurt was rather good, even if he looked a little too "kewl". But I liked his tough, no-nonsense attitude.

My favorite Kurt issue might be the '95 Wolverine annual. It's during Logan's "feral" period, and Kurt comes out to Westchester because he's worried about him. Then they fight some demons together.

A few issues before he tried to make Kurt a hardass with a goatee. It was him and Meggan fighting off a bunch of generic troops in helicopters. And at that point, the man who once upstaged Cyclops in strategy, decades of Marvel continuity, and countless issues of him leading Excalibur were thrown out the window when Nightcrawler's ultimate plan suddenly became,

"Uh. . . Meggan, do something"

I couldn't believe Warren Ellis would turn him into a confused little child. It's almost as if Warren made him an amateur again so HE could make Kurt how he wanted him to be (a goatee wearing freak).

And on a side note, I was never a big fan of how Nightcrawler got taken out by a left hook from Spiral. Like 4 issues after he FIRST joined the X-Men he was taking harder shots than that.

But that's just good ol' Warren for you.

I"m STILL confused with the whole goatee thing. But we had a whole topic devoted to that subject.

I haven't been reading the comics long enough to have a favorite issue, I like whatever comics he's *in*.

As long as Nightcrawlers in it, then I'm happy

Post by **Slarti** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 5:39 pm

I think Warren Ellis was trying to pick up the tougher Nighty Alan Davis introduced in his last run. I agree Ellis had some dumb moments, but overall I remember him being okay. I'd have to reread to know for sure though...

I LOVE tough Nighty! He can be tough and a leader and still have his sense of humor and charm. That's my favorite take on him, and the way I try to write him in most of my stories.

little Blue Lucy · Post by **little Blue Lucy** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 1:34 pm

I don't mind him tough, as long as he's not too tough, and especially not too serious.

kurtlover · Post by **kurtlover** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 3:40 pm

yes he need to be though but funny.

i like what Ellis did, i wasn't a big fan of the beard because how a person with fur can have beard? i think is a little strange (well at least not for my dog but i'm getting off of topic

) having beard and being furry.

little Blue Lucy · Post by **little Blue Lucy** » Thu Sep 26, 2002 7:35 am

My doggy has a beard too. We call her the bearded lady!:D:laugh: and um yeah a well rounded (or whatever lol) Nighty is good!;)

Nightfollower · Post by **Nightfollower** » Fri Oct 11, 2002 8:22 am

Okay, I changed my mind.

My fave Nighty issue is #3 in the original Nightcrawler series. "To Bamf, or not to Bamf" Heh heh. It's so cute and so funny!
