NIGHTCRAWLER On-going series in April

Hope they've got a good hook for this series.

If I can work it into my pull-list, I might pick it up.

Story angle sounds interesting and I'm liking the art. Plus it's Nightcrawler. Who the hell doesn't like Nightcrawler?

I haven't managed to start Amazing X-Men yet though. I guess I'll have to read up on that before this series comes out.

I'm going to pick this up when it comes out.

As I said before, i don't see it lasting. He's an interesting character, and the series could be great, but mutants who aren't Wolverine won't survive an ongoing..right Gambit?

Pass

Thats probably why wolverine is in it

SO hyped for this. There's so much catch-up for Nightcrawler to experience, what with him being dead during the biggest shakeups in the past two decades for the X-Men. If Claremont can tap into his old fun, pathos-rich writing, then I think this could do to Kurt what Mark Waid and Chris Samnee did to Daredevil. I mean, hey, they're both swashbucklers!

So buy it! PLEASE don't let this die. This is a dream come true for me, and deserves a chance at success. The whole "it's not gonna last" naysaying is only hurting things; give it a shot, let it prove itself!

Right Storm?

Right Sabretooth?

Right Mystique? (She actually lasted a while)

Right Dazzler?

Right Colossus?

Right Cable?

Dazzler lasted for like forty issues, and Cable has had more than enough solo time...

Not to say that they aren't undeserving characters, but I don't really see how they're comparable. =P

wow can wait kurts awesome

@pixel_kaiser: i guess i wasn't being funny enough

i quit

There is no room on the internet for humor. You take that mess to Russia!

Ha, I thought maybe you were joking, yeah, but the comment about Mystique's book sort of threw me off. Sorry!

Who gives a f**k about lasting as long any of wolverine's book? I rather have short run of good stories, than an endless sea of mediocrity and crap that plagues wolverine's books.

Wait, is this called "Nightcrawler" or "X-Men Legacy" (The picture says "X-Men Legacy (2014) #1)? I'm confused...

Thank god I get to bomb on stage tonight. In real life.

If it's 2.99, I'll buy it. If not, no dice.

I say let it die

According to Nick Lowe, it started out as the next volume of X-Men Legacy. But then they changed it to be a Nightcrawler solo book. I guess they forgot to edit that picture.

While I like Nightcrawler..... I like him in the team setting. This news will not make me change my stance on being against solo's. Plus another book with Wolverine in it?!!!! Enough is enough really. This guy does not have to be part of every single x-related book

Well, I'm glad I was wrong about this in the initial article. So....

YES!!! A NIGHTCRAWLER SERIES!!! Now I just need to figure out which title to drop so I can read this...

dropping amazing xmen for this

They've only said he'll be part of the first arc. Seeings how he's more or less Nightcrawler's best friend, it makes sense. I doubt he'll be in every issue of the book.

Oh no. I want this and Magneto and X-factor. It's all to much. Ahhhh

This is cool and all but why havent you guys reported on the new Aquaman and the Others series by Dan Jurgens yet? The stories already a day old which is forever in internet time.

Ooooooohhhhhh yyyyyyeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

and this couldnt have been handled in amazing x-men? marvel really needs to take more risks and give other characters chances. they keep giving the same people (black widow, shehulk, nightcrawler, etc.) ongoings, they fail, they get cancelled and then relaunch. obviously there isnt a big enough fanbase to give you the numbers you want marvel so let it go and give other characters a chance: photon, storm, misty knight (a real solo series not some book where she sits behind a computer the whole series) and others. but yeah cant give a black woman a solo series sigh

@inferiorego: So, I'm confused is Amazing X-Men a mini series or an ongoing?

Cool. Not a big fan of Nauck's work, though.

@pixel_kaiser: Ah, I see. I kinda like the Legacy title better. Really fits in with the theme of the book.

Well the only reason I picked up Amazing X-Men was for Nightcrawler so I guess I will drop that to read this.

Iceman deserved his own book way more. >:[

Can't wait to check this out! Hope it's a good jump on point with out knowing too much that's happened in recent events since I've dropped a lot of X-Men titles.

Should also be nice for the Nightcrawler collection though. I have his 4 issue mini series from the 80's. I think I still have his Icon run and oddly enough I was going to order all 12 issues from his last run a few weeks ago. Looks like I'm picking those up for sure now.

I really don't understand why anyone is excited about a Claremont book....does no one remember X-men Forever, All-New Exiles, and Xtreme X-men?

Ah, so it's Nightcrawler. Love to pick it up but I betcha it'll be $3.99. Can't afford so many awesome titles with the tag of 3.99. Shame. :( However, I do wish this new serious a good luck, though! Hope it lasts for many years to come.

Ehhhhhh pass

Claremont. Nightcrawler. Wolverine. Camaraderie. Nostalgia. Beer.

Did I say Claremont?

I am so in for this.

Because he put the X-Men on the map.

Does no one remember 100's of issues of classic goodness?

Every writer's had bad bouts and failed attempts. Near the end of his career, when he tried to come back after writing novels, his writing got stale and tired, too word intensive (even for him), so he stepped back again.

I think he's worth giving the benefit of the doubt to once more despite. Especially when it centers around Kurt and Logan ... two characters Claremont breathed more depth into than any other who's come since (Claremont / Miller mini still personifies the core of what Wolverine is to this day).

Looks awesome.

he ruined Exiles to the point of cancellation and not even a relaunch and a new writer could get people back on board....his X-men run may be a classic but everything since then has been garbage

Exiles was heading toward cancellation before Claremont even touched it. What he has or has not accomplished according to your perspective doesn't make it so.

He's not your cup of tea. Fine. But your blanket comments are highly misleading. They're your opinion. Not universal "truth".

Well said.

what has he written since his X-men run that's been good?

I'm not taking the bait. You and I will clearly disagree on this last point.

In any case, what I like here is the potential to reinvigorate what he DID do that was GREAT. He put Wolverine, a relative unknown and B-class character on the map. He instilled the feeling of "family" and depth into the X-Men that propelled them to iconic status.

The relationship between Logan & Kurt is classic as handled by Claremont, and I look forward to all the possibilities this title holds under his written verb.

Too many negative minded blokes on the internet to argue overly long with all of them. We disagree here, and I said what I wanted to say about it.

Moving on.

I'm not being negative minded and I'm not trying to bait you....I'm being a realist....he's written 2 fantastic books but after that it went to crap...his writing hasn't changed with the times at all....back in the 80's and 90's that bloated dialogue was fine for the 80's and 90's because it was the norm but he still writes like that and he force feeds his creations into books...look at Exiles he replaced every character on the book for his creations and it ended up getting cancelled and no it wasn't bad off before he started writing it...it's sales were solid before he got a hold of it....again just being a realist here...if you write two good books then everything you write after that is cancelled then there's a pattern to be seen

Aww for the love of a.....Wolverine?! way to pour cold water on my enthusiasm Marvel. *sigh* But Kurt , and Nauck are enough to get me in the door and try this out

No. Exiles was cancelled at issue #100 before Claremont had barely even touched it (started at issue #90 I believe). And Claremont coming on board with New Exiles was an attempt to reinvigorate new interest - interest that had been waning quite nicely without his aid.

It's numbers were not all that "solid". If it were selling well, Marvel would not have unshackled it as they did. That's why it became essentially a new book with new characters tendered to Claremont to reboot interest. In this, yeah, he failed. But he's not the cause of it's demise which was a foregone conclusion.

And you're a realist right? Oversimplifying and making blanket comments like that is not being realistic. It's being simplistic. He didn't just write "two good books" there guy. He had many successful spin offs like Excalibur, New Mutants and Wolverine for starters. He was behind the MOST memorable story arcs like The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, Mutant Massacre, X-Tinction Agenda and Fall of the Mutants ... co creator of Sabretooth, Gambit, Mr Sinister ... and his "bloated dialogue" is missed by many. Maybe you like breezing through your 4$ book in under five minutes. Most of Claremont's "bloated" dialogue resulted in three dimensional characters like Kitty Pride who have since all but lost the depth they once possessed under his pen.

I'm not buying it bud. Like I said, you and I clearly disagree. I think you're very narrow minded and yes, all too negative, in your take herein.

and yet you're the one resorting to insults....I was having a conversation...that's it...I wasn't getting mad and I never tried to insult you...so yeah we are done...I'm sorry that my opinion is different than yours
