Nightcrawler #1 Preview

he didn't really do much with him other than hook him up with Kitty in the end.

If he's gonna' do that, he'd better do it quick; after all, Logan has only 3 months left to die.

Gah!!!! My fourth attempt at replying to this and I'm gonna lose my mind pretty soon if I have to start over one more time.  Phew, feel better.

You can name the other forum if you want, we all know its CBR.  I just never like to directly point, but feel free to reference that forum any way you want as long as its not vulgar. 

Now to the crux of the comment.  IA - CC makes me nervous.  He's in charge of two male characters and I can't recall the last time he actually wrote a strong male character.  He has always been partial to female characters.  XXM is a perfect example.  He wrote all the females well but the male characters were all relegated to support roles.  Not every issue, there were a few times the guys shined but it wasn't very often.  I'm surprised he's getting Wolverine in the book.  I think because Wood took allot of the female characters CC would want to write, he didn't get loads of choices.  And its possible that Marvel wants Wolverine in this book as well. 

Also, his love of "I am (insert name)", whether that is a villain or the hero comes across so cheesy.  I hope he doesn't do that sort of thing.

As for Xmen Forever, I did enjoy that but again, he focused more on the female characters and oddly enough Sabertooth.  Gambit was in that book and while he handled him well, he didn't really do much with him other than hook him up with Kitty in the end.

I'll give the book an arc and see how it goes. 

Hey Neko, I can understand your concern. Claremonts male characters can get neglected at times, quite frankly im impressed that CC is doing a book with 2 males as the leads. I think the last time he focused  a lot on a male character was Nightcrawler in Excalibur. Wolverine is the one that got the most from CC's writing but that may og had to do more with Marvel and cashcow than preference.  I'm gonna try and trust CC to deliver in this book. We can just wait and see. 

I haven't read Forever yet, but I've heard about it, and honestly, I don't know what's worse; Gambit hooking up with Kitty of all people, or Sabretooth getting jiggy with Dum Dum Dugan's daughter.

Disregard that last post. I'm having trouble with the quoting function for some reason. What I said restated more clearly:
