Rating: - Decent, not bad at all.
If you think this is the worst....you are sorely mistaken. Nightcrawler's origin is revisited and revised. It was acceptable to me, I think there must have been a wave of haters in 2k4 reviewing this. Its a pretty fun read, in my opinion. Art is not by Jim Lee, true. Art doesnt take away from the story, which is pretty sweet, I think. Pick this up....also...."Here comes Tomorrow" story arc was killer, with pencils by Marc Silvestri... check that out too.

raggin on chuck austin is soooooo 2004. seriously. he wrote fairly interesting stories that werent the same played out ones that claremont wrote 2 to 3 decades ago that at least a half a dozen people tried to recreate. he tried to give some human emotion to your basic "beat up the bad guy before they do something terrible" run-of-the-mill basic x-storyline (see: "hope" and "she lies with angels" for even better examples of this). and on top of that, how long have we been waiting for nightcrawlers ...

I hated this story arc. Unfortunately, this was my first foray back into X-Men comics since about 1996. Yiiiiccch.

Sammy went from being a little fishboy with a puckery mouth who was so homely he was cute to just being...ugly. And kind of serpentine looking. The scene where he beats the boy up whose been taunting ... Read More
Rating: - there is a reason two major comic companies fired him
..really horrible writing, the only reason his x-men is traded, is because the x-men movies helped the book sales surge, they traded anything with an X on it, good bad or just plain ugly like this.
what can you expect from a book with a plot hole where the villain is trapped, and to get free leaves his prison, has babies with women and returns to wait for the babies to free him..can you spot the problem? well anyone could, but the wirter can not.
Rating: - Truly horrible
The main flaw with this story--and it's a big one-- is that the plot, fundamentally, is impossible. Bear with me.
Azazel is trapped in a dimension other than the 616 universe. So he goes to the 616 universe, mates with human women, goes back to his dimension, bides his time, and finally brings them all to his dimension using some convoluted teleportation spell.
And therein lies the gaping plot hole. If he can't leave the dimension, then his plan to get back to Earth can't involve ... Read More
