More NC Mini Previews

[hiddencrawler]

Not to be the only one that thinks this, but I think it's nice to see him as an adult than a young guy. Perhaps we'll see a more mature version of his character, (with a better developed humor, I hope. )

I don't think the art is bad. I actually like it. I'm always open to new renditions, and being that he IS fictional... (wait, there's no Santa??!) it's good to see how different people think of him. And besides, if they're going to carry on this priest thing, he might as well have the appearance or stature of one.

Just my two pfennigs.

HC, old doesn't automatically mean ugly, ya know! Kurt is in his thirties at the latest and there are men older than that who look damn fine. I could really go for him as an older (non-priest) man.

Actually, I think it was the pointy ears that did it for my mom. I insist that he's "just so kee-yoooooooooot" but she doesn't believe a word of it. There's no talking to some people.

Kurt is a little heavier looking than normal, and I really cant stand the 'Leno' chin, but I actually like the art too.
Just from those few panels it looks like the storytelling is going to be pretty good. The artist may just need an issue or two to really refine his Nightcrawler. (I hope!)

Very true, Kurt started out as being pretty ugly. Surly and bitter....truly monstrous.

I like his later interpretation better: A really good looking guy who just happens to be blue, have fangs, yellow eyes, a tail etc. I always liked how the occasional non-mutant lady would look at him and despite his obvious mutation think "Wow he's cute!"
I think hands down ALAN DAVIS and ADAM HUGHES are the artists whove best captured that version of Kurt!

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.

Geez, that's pretty sad for a title that had been the #1 comic in the world for like the last 2 decades! CASEY really needs to get his act together.......


BAMF!

I went comic hunting a few days ago. I searched every gas station in town. I found one place, stock as follows: Wizard #121 (1 copy), Exiles #4 (3 copies), Wolverine #167 (a bunch) and Uncanny X-Men #195 (a huge bunch). So it seems that no one up here is much impressed with Mr. Casey either.

I flipped through Exiles but I wasn't much impressed with that either. I did buy uh, Wolverine. That's six consecutive issues of comic satisfaction so far. *cuts Wolverine rave short* Uh, yeah. I know lots of people here don't like him...

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? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

In the short story "The Gift," (I assume everyone read that other wise well it's not a spoiler) He is at the church making his confessions. That explains before he was a preist but I dunno. He hasn't really FOUGHT people after his preisthood. Mostly just self defence from Mister Clean and such.
Oh well.

Very Edward Scissorhands-esque.

"Tests beliefs". I'd say it sounds promising but it actually doesn't.

I like that cover, only that Nightcrawler seems so sad/upset/finished/faint (ach, where's a good dictionary when I need one?). Now, if they only could have this art inside as well and give him his original costume back.
