Ultimate Nightcrawler's return
*bumpsies*
So, I was at the comic shop today and flipped briefly through the latest issue. To my surprise, the X-Men actually appear on the final page. Can you believe that?
Not only that, but...duh duh DUH...[spoiler]Kurt was with them in a pseudo-Cockrum costume in black and gold[/spoiler]. Worth a brief look if you have the time. Just wanted to keep you all in the know

Nope. Don't own it. As I said, I just flipped through it quickly. I'm sure someone here's bought it, though.Originally posted by Siona

Ultimate Nightcrawler's return
Did he look like the fourteen year old they originally said he was? Last time I saw him in Ultimate (can't remember the issue) they had him serving champagne (looking kinda dorky) and seeming like he was supposed to be older than Kitty and Bobby (I think it was Bobby asking him for a drink???).

I wondered about his true age too. In the Ultimate gallery here, there's a pic of him driving a CAR.

So if Kurt was driving a car, he'd probably be around 16-24 I think, unless he's driving underaged.

What, those deaths? Oh, I'm sure they weren't your fault. No, Mr Wagner, we've come to arrest you because... we think you've been driving underage!"

I currently lack a witty signature. Isn't it tragic?

I've got the page(s) of importance scanned here:

(I don't think the book was trimmed too perfectly because the spread image doesn't line up quite right)
and a closer look at the reason I scanned it here:

Dave would be pleased - his *original* yellow costume finally makes it into the comix pages.

i hate this picture. i don't mind the costume (i think the nod towards the original is cool) but the face really doesn't fit w/ the body. i like the way Finch drew him before, and the way Kubert drew him. i even like the upcoming ultimate cover with Kurt, but this picture just disturbs me. Also (even though i have liked the previous images) i think Finch is drawing the 14 year old Kurt just a bit old in the face (and we know he can draw younger people well- just look at spiderman).
Dave, your creations brought joy to my life and inspired my imagination. R.I.P.

Hm. I never liked the old costume except for the way the colors matched, but this one is fairly good.

I like the old costumes! Except for Iceman, because he looks likes he's nude. Maybe his ice shell formed over his clothes.

I always thought this too; he seems to wear a good number of baggy clothes...so if the ice is on top of his clothes, wouldn't you see like the creases of the fabric where it ended and skin began?Originally posted by NightPoofer

Why is Kitty there? She's not supposed to go on missions. Her parents are gonna be pissed! And who's flying the plane?

Now that's a good question, who is flying the plane and how the heck did Kitty get there. Also, Kurt does look waaaay too old - as well as rather unattractively weathered to be honest. (Although not as unattractive as he looks in the current Uncanny stuff, so I won't complain too much).

But he was still cute (intimidating as all hell, but cute none-the-less) at the end of the Return to Weapon X arc. He's not a cute little elf in this picture, he looks kind of like someone chiseled his face out of a low quality basalt or something. Maybe other pictures will be better, I hope.Originally posted by Nandireya

Agreeing with TKD, what happened there? Just how much time was spent between the Weapon X arc (where he was SUPPOSEDLY 14! ) and his next appearances?!

Hurray, someone mentioned basalt!
sorry, having a geology degree (and typing this in the college's geology computer lab) means i'm especially prone to excitment when people refer/talk about/reference anything geology related. Back on topic, perhaps Finch (perhaps not knowing Kurt's age when he first drew him) is just trying to keep Kurt the same as when he first drew him. Or perhaps he was told to draw him older (the editors or writers perhaps changing his age?).

This could be part of the conspiracy that these comic book characters never age...even when they've been around since the '60s.

I was so happy to see some other X-Men in Ultimate. I was getting really tired of the Spider-Man and (shudder) Daredevil crap. If I wanted to see Spider-Man I would've bought a Spider-Man issue.
And the Kurt was huge bonus. I nearly cried in joy. As much as I like the costume, I don't think it fits in too well with the rest of the guys. He looks a little....conspicuous with all that yellow on his costume. X.x

You've got a point, but I love that style on him. And it's not like they aren't all pretty conspicuous anyway.Originally posted by Booker
