X-Men: Manifest Destiny - Nightcrawler #1

The review: http://panelsonpages.com/?p=2114

After my general disappointment with MD as a whole, I didn't bother with the Nightcrawler ish. Not that MD was bad, it just didn't live up to the wait.

It wasn't much of a big deal anyway. The mini-series had an uninteresting Iceman story and backup stories on other characters, which for the most part were better than the main story.

Wolverine's mini-series was pretty much pointless and probably my least favorite Jason Aaron story so far. Still, it's a Aaron story and he managed to incorporate some good things into the boo. Like Logan's endless monologue of suffering; the first confrontation with Black Dragon's warriors that ended with an amazing punch to the soul; and of course - Master Po.

I can't believe I wasted my money on this. What's the point of hyping up the book as "the issue where Nightcrawler quits the X-men"

Spoiler:

Complete rubbish.

That's what marketing people are for... I think they shouldn't have pushed this book this way if it wasn't meant to be permanent, but I don't have a degree in marketing or business affairs. Instead of making people care about the character or the story, they just pissed them off.
