Uncanny X-Men General Discussion Reload

I fully agree with both of you. The last story arc was NOT Claremont's idea. Several months ago he was interviewed about upcoming issues and he was quoted as saying that Uncanny #460 and 461 would feature Betsy and Kurt, and that Kurt would have a "life changing encounter". Your guess is a...

Take The Nightcrawler Quiz!

I got a score of 100, although I almost chose another answer for Q#9. I just took the question as asking [spoiler] about his farthest possible limit, which I knew was 3 miles [/spoiler] Although I would entirely agree with Ken, the question could have be seen as misleading.

Bachalo on Uncanny!

Entropy, You were interested in why some of us hold the opinions we do about Bachalo, so here you are. I enjoy more realistic art, and always have- much more than stylized, especially the sharp angles Bachalo employs. I have never been a fan of the modern art style, and while some stylized art is fi...

X-News from Wizard World Philly

Aw, craptastic!!! Now I'm really upset. Between this and the news about X-3, this has NOT been a good day for this X-fan. :bawl I loath Bachalo, especially his Kurt. Only Tan was worse IMHO.

Reload: One year later

I know that many will not agree with me, but I like Uncanny now better than earlier. It’s no secret that I didn’t care for Austen. I found some of his plots ponderous and his humor juvenile. I like the escapism in the more classic style of comic book writing. I can see where Claremont can be confusi...

Finally got to see this movie, and I wasn't disappointed. I agree that it was the best of the second set. Part way through my hubby nudged me and whispered- "They must have given the guy who plays Skywalker acting lessons." I wonder, or perhaps the only thing he can play well is anger. I w...

:yell That just isn't right after all the teasing Claremont's doing in the other direction.

Besides I thought Kurt was [spoiler] already married to Kymrie and with kids [/spoiler] in X-Men the End. Somehow I just can't ever see Kurt as a cheating man. :p

Terrific covers Darick, I really enjoy the detail that you put into your drawings. #9 makes me feel so bad for poor Kurt, even if it turns out to be just a nightmare. The contrast of #10 with the other three covers of the arc is exciting. I think a lot of us agree. I feel Kurt's current costume is a...

Jill, Marley is so cute, and he sure has grown since I last saw pics of him. Funny he likes to be upside-down. I used to have a cat that liked that too. I have a new digital camera so I thought I'd share pics of my three cats, Misty, C.C., and Babie. We also have feral cat that comes to be fed with ...

On this thing with Terri, my opinions are definitely on a different page than my church. I just can't understand some of my friends. As far as I'm concerned, if the woman was a Christian they are keeping her from a much better state of being. And she'd been in her vegetative state for 15 years. Let'...

Comic books, to be lasting have to be soap operas.

Thanks for taking over and giving Jake a rest Diablo! And thanks to Jake if he sees this for letting you take the reigns for a while.

So many X-Men and NC websites have closed or don't ever update any more that is was getting kind of depressing.

I agree, I really don't like the slap-dash way in which this movie is being done since Singer defected. A good action adventure movie takes more than a year to put together. It seems like the studio committed to doing this movie and they are determined to release it regardless of whether the quality...

I'm with Nandy, it doesn't please this Nightcrawler fan to hear a story arc compared to Grant Morrison's work either. However, I haven't been disappointed yet so I trust I'll enjoy it as I have the first six issues. I just hope the angsty Kurt doesn't last long. We've had enough of that over the las...

Nightcrawler #7 and beyond

I guess The Winding Way has something to do with the arc, or the title, and that would involve Margali, Kurt's foster mother.

I also noticed the piece of paper on the ground with the initials. Very clever Darick, I love pics with hidden meanings :)

Yaay!

I scored most like Nightcrawler (90%) and least like Wolverine. (Storm came in second)

And no, I did not cheat! I think that's why I'm so attracted to Kurt. Personality wise, I'm a female version of the fuzzy elf. :D

I know this is way off topic, but here it is if anyone has never seen it:

"Pimp" Kurt

What WERE Claremont and Davis thinking. :shocked

Kurt's usually the dapper swashbuckler when out of uniform. Might have been an inside joke. You never know about those things LOL.
