Robb Ghag reviews Amazing X-Men #6…
“Nightcrawler is back at the Jean Grey School! But when Mystique comes calling, he may be returning to the afterlife very soon.”
Nightcrawler is back in the start of an all new adventure “All in the Family” Part One. Back from the dead in the last issue with the help of his little brothers; the “Bamfs”, it’s clear to almost all that a piece of Nightcrawler was lost as he was resurrected from the land of the dead.
Jason Aaron continues as writer of the series as Cameron Stewart picks up the pencils where Ed McGuinness left off last issue. With Nightcrawler back from the dead, it was only a matter of time before Mystique came to look in on her son.
It’s far from a happy family reunion, especially when his father: Azazel gets into the mix. Needless to say Bamfs, gunshots and swords are all brought to the table when the epitome of a dysfunctional mutant family gets together.
Don’t get me wrong, I am more than happy that Nightcrawler was brought back from the dead, especially after his heroic sacrifice in X-Men: Second Coming. Unfortunately I feel this book has come to an end and should have quit after the last issue. I guess with X-Men: Days of Future Past just around the corner to be released, they can never have too many “X” books.
