Does Nightcrawler have little nightcrawlers now? What's up with that?

The BAMFs were created by Azazel and Kurt's not alive (yet). Wolverine and friends have traveled to the afterlife to try and bring Kurt back to life.

Was it to even try to bring him back to life? I think it was more what is going on with these bamfs that Aaron has had since the loving start? And oh they are from Nightcrawler and here is an awesome tale to bring him back.

Seriously love when writers just go all out to bring a character back. Aaron has had this in mind for a while, and now he's just pulling all the guns.

Amazing XMen #1 literally starts with 'hey, these BAMFs built some kind of portal OHSHIT WE TELEPORTIN'. No more reason than that. The XMen didn't set off with the goal of bringing back Kurt.

They didn't start with trying to save Nightcrawler. I was abbreviating the storyline for simplicity.

It's amazing to go to different places and see vastly different reactions to writers, like I've seen places utterly crucify Jason Aaron as ruining the character of Scott Summers, and having a massive erection for Wolverine. I personally never saw it like that, but it's weird seeing him get praised when I'm used to seeing him get shat upon.

There are people who poo poo on Jason Aaron? Hell he wrote a possible start for a Scott/Logan reconciliation, if no one else picks up on that it's not his fault. Especially since he's leaving WATXM to do Amazing X-Men, and the first arc is pirate adventures in the afterlife.

The BAMFs have been running around causing havoc for the entirity of Wolverine and the X-Men which started a few years ago. You don't need to read that book to understand everything but I would suggest you do if you like what you see. It's a really fun book.

This specific storyline of Nightcrawler returning and their origin has just been in Amazing X-Men which is currently on issue 4 which the images are from.

I'm gonna say it, I'm kind of done with Hawkeye. The weird schedule/constant delays has ruined all momentum that book had, and the last like three issues have not been great, so I just don't give a poo poo at this point. Stuff like Superior Foes and She-Hulk have pretty much replaced it for me.

The fact that the book's split between Clint and Kate makes the pacing erratic. I'm just hoping all this build up pays off.

Aaron's been working towards this since basically the start. I remember either an interview or letters page or something where he said the Bamfs aren't what they seem and that he'd explore them later on. And now here we are!

I hate myself and went to comicbook resource and they hate Aaron, but that place is the loving pits.

So wait, if they hate Aaron, does that mean they hate Thor? Cause I can kind of see the dislike for his X-Men stuff (not really, but people go nuts about their mutants) but Thor is seriously one of the best comics in a long loving time.

I did not look at the Thor board, but the X-men one is really really bad.

Holy poo poo,these pages are amazing. I picked the books up after work today and just finished reading them.
I also really love the very next exchange between them:
Logan: Is there really....whiskey?
Kurt: No, sorry. Just wanted to make sure you had a reason to live. But there ARE pirates. Lots and lots of evil pirates.

Has Aaron even written Cyclops to any great degree? His character shift was largely the work of Morrison, Brubaker, Fraction, and so on, I thought.

Well, he wrote Schism which really pushed Cyclops and Wolverine as the new Magneto and Charles. Which was fine because his take on Scott's shift was pretty nuanced and is well paired with the best handle on Wolverine that arguably any writer has ever had. It was Avengers vs. X-men that sort of shot the moon on Scott as a villain. While Aaron was involved in that, it's really presumptuous to throw the blame at any writer's feet because who knows who was responsible for and on board with what.

No see the complaints you hear is that his Wolverine is terrible, because he just sucks off the character and makes it seem like he can do no wrong, and by and large his Scott is terrible because he's trying to push that Scott was wrong when "Scott was Right"

They also think his Wolverine is a hypocrite and thus a worse character because of it.

You know, I'm reminded of some graphic novel called Batman and the Dragon or something, about Batman in China, and how a major plot point was that Batman didn't speak Chinese. I remember thinking that modern writers would never let that fly, and Batman would just speak whatever language he needs to because he's Batman.

Late-gently caress post, but I think you were thinking of Batman: Hong Kong.

Incidentally, I actually collected the Chinese version of that, which was done as a three-part comic series instead of a graphic novel. Wouldn't be surprised if it was actually written for the three-part format and then just stitched together into a book for the English version.
