Mind you, I have not been following the Chaos War saga with a fine toothed comb, but I don't recall seeing Nightcrawler anywhere? 
 
If he was dead, shouldn't he have "come back" with Thunderbird, Banshee, Moira and the others in the X-Men: Chaos War mini-series? 
 
Did I miss it, or did Marvel forget about him...or worse, they're already planning to bring him back "from the dead"?

i think his death is a little too fresh to have him popping back up in the living world with the rest of them.

"i think his death is a little too fresh to have him popping back up in the living world with the rest of them. "

Alot of characters didn't comeback even though if you think about they probably should for instance Cable or other characters who recently die didn't comeback and even people like Janet Van Dyke.

Not all the dead characters came back during Chaos War.

Hey. I thought all those at the X-Mens mansion who came back to life were burried in the grounds and Nightcrawler died on Utopia. I may be wrong...

Could be a hint that he's still alive.

or the writers don't care.
