Nightcrawler's new costume?

[the_Bamfette]

I know it's probably to early to ask, but does anyone have a pic of Kurt's new duds in Uncanny? I remember on Fandom them announcing that Wizard would have an X-Men special this month, so I don't know if it's out yet, but the probability is that I won't get it. The only decent comic book store that's open anymore is nearly 3 hours away from my house! I go to school for most of the week, and by the time I get out, there isn't enough time to get there! And by the weekend, everything's cleaned out. So, if you do get a copy of Wizard and you can post pics, please get a pic of Nightcrawler's new costume! I can't take the suspense anymore!

PS: Sorry about the way I sound, things are pretty tense arond here, and the pain my disease is causing isn't helping things much.

So, no rush, but when you do get a hold of a pic by Churchill, post it, bitte?

*blinks* Disease? Pain? *edges away from Bamfette*

I don't know where you live, Bamfy, but I live in a pretty small city with no comic book stores and I can get Wizard at either Wal-Mart, the tiny book store at the mall, the convenience store down the street, the drug store, 7-11 and other fine gas stations... don't you have any of these in your area?

Don't worry, I'm not contagious. If you're curious, look up the disease eosinophilic fasciitis(yes that's spelled right.) It's a disease similar to scleroderma, where the soft tissues of the body harden due to an unexplained overproduction of collagen in the body that deposits and hardens under the skin. The difference with mine is that is doesn't harden past the skin, so it's not fatal(like scleroderma), and it's more like my body is having an allergic reaction to itself. The pain comes when the hard areas(which cover most of my body) puts pressure on the nerves, muscles, etc. Plus, the fact that now it is healing, the nerves that were not working well are springing back to life, very painfully, especially when you consider how much of an area the disease covers. The visible scarring and the nerves can be compared with someone who has serious burns. I'm being heavily treated, but there is no cure. I'm been dealing with it for 3 years now, and I'm proud to say that Nightcrawler's dealing with his outward appearance has really helped me. People are really freaked out by it, but I consider myself a good person, and I have still have a lot of friends.

Now, yes I do have all sorts of mini-marts, stores, etc. There is a hobby store, too that's really good for Excalibur back issues, , but add to that the fact that because of the disease affecting my hands, I can't drive(it's a pain when drawing too), so I have to rely on my dad to take me. Then, we usually arrive, either the store doesn't carry it, or it's sold out. Mini-marts I can walk to, but they don't carry magazines like that, neither does the school store. I really hope it's not too much trouble, danke.

Ah, I've never heard of *copy and paste* eosinophilic fasciitis. It sounds kind of like psorais... I don't think I spelled that right. But it's the only skin disease like that that I've heard of. As long as it isn't contagious, it doesn't bother me.

I can't drive either. But that's just because the family cars don't run too good and I worry that even if I did go through the driver's test and get a licence, it wouldn't do me any good... or worse, I'd get stuck somewhere with no one to help fix the car.

It wouldn't be too much trouble for me to get them for you, if I had a scanner...

I nominate the_Bamfette for having zhe highest self esteem! *and the crowd goes wild*

I know what you mean about disease. I have asthma and I spent half of my childhood with a mask on my face(it's how I got most of my medication) I turned it around to someting funny by pretending to be Darth Vader.
"Luke, I am your father.."
He he, fond memories. Well for me, not for zhe cat.

He he Fasheem, I have a scanner, I have a scanner! :P

Most people have some sort of mental problem at some time in their life, don't they? I used to be so painfully shy that I was scared of people. And not just mean or scary people. Regular people, especially ones that I knew a little, but not very well. I would go out of my way to avoid having to talk to someone. I still hate talking on the phone. I would almost rather go somewhere and find out it's closed, than call ahead to make sure it's open.

I have a minor blood clotting disorder, not even worth mentioning... except even though it's easier to spell than *copy and paste* eosinophilic fasciitis, I've never actually looked it up so I'm still not sure how. Maybe I should do that sometime.

Poor Fasheem! I hate crossing busy streets, if that helps any?! I have something that I can't spell but, basically, my body can't produce Horomones(sp?) so I'd be a shrimp (4" and under) if I hadn't taken a needle every day for about 5 years.

Did I also mention I hate needles?

That tail! Those fangs! That fur! I think I'm in love....No, wait, that's a furball.

Whoa...hearing your stories makes me feel lucky! I've had this problem with my Thorax (think it's called anyway) so my body hasn't been able to get the proper nourishment from what I eat. As a result, I was suffering from severe malnutrition, all my teeth died and have now been capped, my nails are a sorry sight (I've got press-on salon nails now ) My hair is a sorry sight and my skin is terribly dry, and my eyesight has been severly deteriorating from the age on nine. It peaked last summer, when I was so weak from malnutrition that I couldn't even hold a glass in my hand, let alone get out of bed.
It's just recently that I've been recovering nicely, and I can even go to aerobic classes again these days, which is a major progress from being completely knackered at 3 o clock in the afternoon. Well, but if I hadn't been so ill last summer, I wouyldn't have been on the net so much, and never would have found my way here!

Theres a bright side to everything!

Jeez...Bamfette, Jezie, Tricky and others, I am so sorry you have these health problems. I've complained about my asthma, but its nothing to what's described here. I hope you all recieve the best of care and live long happy lives. And Bamfette, I happen to have a scanner too for what its worth . I don't buy many comics anymore, but if there's some back issue you're interested in, give a holler, I might have it.
