Help the newbie out, fellow elf-lovers! I thought Nightcrawler was going to be in issue 364 (I'm pretty sure that the number) of Uncanny X-Men? He bamfed into an issue of Wolverine recently, but, aside from that, I haven't really seen him ... but, then again, that may be due to my chaotic home/school/work/social life and having absolutely no money and no chance to trek the required 20+ miles to the nearest freakin' comic book store. (That's what I get for living in the boonies.)
Not only that, but it's been so long since I read X-Men in order (we're talking years, folks), that I really have no idea what the bloody heck's been going on. You have X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Ultimate X-Men, X-Men Forever, X-Men Unlimited (no, wait, wasn't that canceled? Argh, I don't know!!!), and I am so very CONFUSED!!! For the love of Gott, HELP ME OUT!!!

Hello Lamia!
Well he is apart of Caseys Uncanny line-up but he didnt show up in 394.So is IceMan and Chamber and they didnt show up either.So maybe next issue?I dont know.Personaly I dont think he is going to show up until 396.
As for Unlimited?Its still around they just changed the format.Infact Nighty is supposed to have a story next issue coming out next month.I saw the teaser art and it looked great.
Nightcrawler is appearing in Ultimate X-Men#7 due out next month.Hes also going to be on the cover of #8.He will not be a regular member though.
As for X-Men Forever that was a mini-series that already concluded.Kurt didnt have any major role in it but he did make a brief cameo in the first issue and there was also n a refference to him in 4 or 5?But thats it.
Hope this helps!
BTW what number of Wolvie did Kurt appear in rescently?

In Wolvie 161, Kurt, mysteriously back in his old costume, picks Logan up out of a raft after he was kidnapped and dumped by Mr. X. He banters a bit with Logan about Wolvie's personal bathing habits. Logan says "I'm not in the mood, Elf!" and that's about it.
No big whoop.

That's it?!?
What a jip.
I love the "popular" X guys too, but guys like Kurt and Bobby are the ones that need to be fleshed out in this new direction(s).

FINALLY!!! I was afraid the 'board wouldn't be up during the summer!
I agree w/ RIV; characters like Kurt & Bobby really need some better treatment. I like Iceman in Ultimate X-Men, but he really doesn't have such a huge part. I haven't seen Nightie in it yet ... I went to the comics store last Tuesday, and asked the guys behind the counter if they had "the newest Ultimate X-Men there--the one with Nightcrawler?"
Their reply. "Huh?" and "Nightcrawler's in Ultimate X-Men?"
Despite my initial disappointment, I did manage to snag a few old comics featuring Nightcrawler from my friend (he hasn't realized that I cheated him out of $30 bucks yet. ;) ) I'll scan 'em when I get my scanner working.
But, now back to the question I orginally posted; how the heck to I keep track of all of these X-Titles?

Keep track? I can't keep track either. So I just float along, memorizing the really important parts, and ignoring the rest. This technique also works great with math. I'm at the point where I've forgotten everything and I wonder what you mean, can't keep track? Am I missing something?

Oh, thats a great sig line! I love it! Track? You're supposed to do that? I find drifting works well for me. I keep my Excaliburs in order and the rest in a pile under the bed. Works great. As for new issues, I walk into the store and say "eenie, meanie, miney, mo...which X-book shall I wrap to go?" Then I spin around twice and point.

Helpful, aren't I?

http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Replies!! Yay!!
I love the tag line too! I dunno if you guys are familiar with NC's dimension traveling experiences, but he once bamfed into a dimension filled with pint-sized Nightcrawlers that acted like Bart Simpson on Speed. Seeing as how I can't keep track of all the titles (I am officially giving THAT up), I don't know which issue it was.
Anyways, Kurt reacted in sheer horror.
KURT: VAS ...?!
MINI BAMPF (latching itself to Nightcrawler's leg): Daddy!! You home!
KURT: Mein Gott ... It's a Cabbage Patch NIGHTCRAWLER!!!
The mini NCs are called Bampfs, and they're not as cute as Kurt. A handful of them managed to travel with Kurt back into his home dimension, and, if I remember correctly, a little female one developed a crush on Wolverine. Shadowcat just about lost her mind 'cuz the Bampfs, like Kurt, have a sense of humor ... but she didn't find her computers being destroyed very funny.
Jeez, I wish I could remember what issue it was! This is the whole reason I set up the post!!!

Nightcralwer first incountered the Bamfs in his first Limited series back in 1985.
I don't think i've read anything about them coming back to kurt's dimention except for the "Night of the Bamfs" story from the later Excalibur (wich was really weird because all the bamfs were demonic for some reason)
To keep track of comics I need, i find it helpful to actually construct a list of what issues I'm looking for. I mark them off as I get them, and I add to it when I hear about an issue or series I want.
To keep track of storing them, i use the same techniques as comicbook stores. I put them in boxes grouped by title and in order of their numbers. I've got a section for One-Shots, one for Limited Series, and a section just for Nightcrawler's appearances in other titles.
But if you mean "how do you keep track of what happened in which issue?" then I really don't know. You need either a good memory or an extensive list of plot summaries for each issue. (wouldn't it be great if someone put that online, so you could run it like a search engine!)

That would be one hell of an undertaking! Gah! I just try to remember myself, my SO seems to have almost photographic comic memory and remembers EVERYTHING. I envy that sometimes.
Ja, I never could figure out why the bamfs turned evil in Excalibur. I think maybe they weren't the same bamfs at all though. Didn't these come from the Darkforce dimension and the 1985 bamfs were from another dimension, that was creepily based on Kitty's fairy tale she told Ilyana? I can't remember too much abut it. Hence, why I shouldn't give anyone advice on keeping track of things!
