Wow, we're not gonna agree on this one...But at least BC is with me
When I see NC depicted as kinda ugly I always think back to Giant Size X-men #1. He was butt-ugly in those days. Sure, I like a cute and fuzzy NC too, but it's in certain ways missing the point: the point of the character is that he is a shockingly ugly guy with a fine character. You would run hard if you met him in the streets.
And that's why the not too polished look in this preview sits fine with me, actually. It goes back to the source.
Besides it will look far less sharp when colored.

just my $0.02...

[Pandora]

Ok ...He IS my fuzzy Elf and I will love himand squeeze him and rub his fur the wrong way.... But he looks like Richard Nixon!!!
BC , you are right , at least things are consistant from one panal to the next (UN-like Whatever is going on at 616).
Elwing I have never thought of NC as ugly , Scary and Weird , but not Ugly.

Pandora

[BamfKat]

LOL!! You got it Pandora! He Does look like Dick Nixon! At least he is kickin' butt... I wonder how he is allowed to do that as a priest? I will get it just cuz I identify with Kurt more than any other Marvel character.

What bugs me is the art is... good (consistent, clean, etc.) but ugly. This does not look like the Kurt Wagner I know. It is gonna drive away new fans who might be trying to get into the comic from the evo side... OH Alan Davis, where art thou?

As a side note. Uncanny has slipped so far and lost so many readers in my area that the local Comic shop (the only one in like 200 miles) will not carry it on shelf any more. You can still get it in your box but they want the assurance you will buy.

Cheers,
BamfKat!

I'm with Fasheem, Pandora and BamfKat on this one. This rendition of Kurt is ugly and pretty sterile, if you ask me. Despite the consistancy (always a good thing), I am not liking the overall artwork, not just Kurt, but in general. Of course I will still buy it (have to show support for the Elf, after all), but they could have done A LOT better. But I used to have the original NC limited series, so perhaps I'm wrongly comparing this one to the other, which I was very fond of.
Oh well. At least Ultimate Kurt is well-drawn. Now if only they'd keep him in the series and give him more pannels.

[Fasheem]

Elwing, I liked Kurt's demonic features in Giant-Sized. The narrow face and nose, and the prominent chin... *sigh* The detail of the ears...

And just a side note: My mother thinks that Evo Kurt is the ugliest thing she's ever seen. Absolutely hideous. So my point is, it doesn't matter how fine or cute his features are, he'll still be freaky-looking to most people.

[Pandora]

Hey! I hear you Fasheem,Beauty (or Ugly , I guess) is all in the eyes of the beholder!
I STILL think that Nightcrawler would be pretty fine to look at , but hey , I'm kinda gothier-then-thou-ish anyway.

Oh, I used to be little-miss-gother-than-thou, too, Pandora! Though now It's more of a spooky-punk-hybrid thing. But it is true that the average person would find Kurt (even adorable little Evo Kurt) to be quite creepy and even ugly. Just be thankful we're not average people! But I've been a Kurt fan since JR High School. Old X-Men and Excalibur were my favorite comic books. Kurt's demonic-elfin appearance was always really appealing to me, and the character is just so cool.

He is pretty ugly and I don't really like his feature change at all. But...Elwing does have a very pertinent point. If this Nightcrawler has the same very appealing and interesting character, it will still be Nightcrawler.

Then again, I probably won't ever buy the thing anyway because I have a crappy comics store. But I'll show my support nonetheless.

After all, a lot of people would reject NC just on the basis that he has a devil tail, regardless of what else he looks like.
