Uncanny X-Men #524
It came out a month ago, but as I started reading Chapter 7 of Second Coming, I decided to go back and re-read #524, because it was such a great issue. And what better way to make this an official part of the site and giving these posts titles then with a great episode and the death of a beloved character!
BTW. Spoilers are involved.
When I finished X-Force # 26, I couldn't believe they did it. I figured it would be Cable or Cyclops who died, since they were shown in the ads that said "One will fall" He wasn't there, and I couldn't believe they did it but they did.
They killed Nightcrawler!
In the middle of a war, with the mutants on the brink of extinction and Bastion and his Purifiers, as well as the Sapien League, drawing closer, they take time out for a funeral.
You would think something like that might kill the momentum of the storyline, but it doesn't. The wait for each new chapter kills it more then this does. And the timing works. The first act of the storyline is over, time to catch their breath before Act 2 starts.
I like how some people thought Hope could bring Kurt back to life, and how Cyclops seemed a bit out of his element when dealing with what to do about his death.
Pierce is lose on Utpoia, which is, of course, bad.
Why does Bastion have a symbol like Ironman's on his chest? Is his current body built with Stark Tech or did they just decide to do it like that because it would look cool. Cause it does. Liking the sort of Archangel look he's sporting now too.
What is up with those towers Bastion is building?
The funeral was good. Didn't know that Iceman is a pastor. At least I'm assuming he is since he is running it. Several people spoke about him, but the best was Wolverine, who said that no matter what he did, Kurt never looked at him or thought of him as anything but a man and a friend. Needless to say, Wolvie is mad.
I feel sorry for whoever he takes that anger out on.
Like I said, it was nice that they dedicated an entire issue to his funeral. They didn't do that with Illyana. They didn't even do that with Superman, but they did it for Kurt. as they should have.
And with that out of the way, time for the war to continue.
