User blog:Johnnybravo44/new book Amazing X-Men to feature... Nightcrawler!



As a part of Marvel NOW! Pt. 2, Amazing X-Men from Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness will feature a handful of great X-Men, including: Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Iceman, Northstar, and... surprise... Firestar! and... even bigger surprise... Nightcrawler!!!

The first issue will be available in November, and will (basically) replace Astonishing X-Men Vol 3, which is also ironically named after a former Age of Apocalypse title. But I'm sure that was a strange coincidence. Ahem.

Hardcore fans will notice Azazel, Nightcrawler's father from that one silly story from way back when, but most will probably know him from that one awesome X-Men film from not too long ago in the promo image. So it appears we can expect an epic father-son fight, so kudos to that. And kudos to Nightcrawler's return to the swords. I can assume Nightcrawler will be returning in some book before this, but who knows for sure. I'm also assuming this is our mainstream reality fuzzy elf, what with all the Age of Ultron reality changing madness..

Well I'm excited for this new X-book. Jason Aaron has worked wonders over on Wolverine and the X-Men, so I'm sure we can expect greatness over here as well. It's nice to see Nightcrawler back, and Firestar actually... well, being in any book for that matter, let alone an X-book! Nice touch having Iceman on the team with her. We can only hope for Spider-Man to make a return simply for nostalgia of you know what. Though the route Marvel has been taking with the "Superior" Spider-Man, I'm sure we can expect him coming by instead. Or neither, and I'm just crazy. Oh well..

So... what are your thoughts on this book..? Leave a comment below!

PS - Am I the only one who feels like Beast won't fit in well with this team? Do we really need two blue-haired guys in the same book? Hmm..

Also, it's nice to see Nightcrawler join the ranks of those Second Coming dead mutants who have since returned, including Cable, Vanisher, and even Ariel. It's only a matter of time until Sack returns and all of his hardcore fans can quiet down again.
