I love them, I’m annoyed I didn’t keep the artist’s name.
Here are the rest.

So good! I love them!

The original artist is americanninjax. The arts come from their (sadly deactivated) Deviantart account, it seems. Checking if they have it up on the IG (same name) right now.

Edit. Link to post, for those interested.

I remember these but I didn't see all of them. I always loved Kurt and Remy. Is that the British version of Betsy?

Awesome!

Thanks!

Ten characters.

It’s baffling to me that Kurt didn’t get a story, or at least get a mention that he is involved. At best he may be making a cameo as the officiant if the cover is somehow accurate. There was a great opportunity for Wolverine and Kurt to have the story of finding a gift, with the x kids along for the adventure.

It could be just down to the writers getting to personally select who they want to write about. But it just feels so lazy to not even bother connecting the stories together.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking unfortunately. But I will still try to hold out hope. Now the Wolverine story... I thought that should be Kurt instead but both of them together would have been fine I guess. But as is said in the blurb , Wolverine and her were basically in a fued. This seems unrealistic. Oh, well... :-/

A Kurt story would’ve been better, if it’s set in the past it still would have been awkward since they weren’t on good terms. It’s hard to say if they are now, we’ve moved on from it’s complicated to: it’s more complicated. Still it would have been a better match for story continuity than some of the other character choices. We shall have to see if he makes an appearance (honestly it’ll be worse for me if he’s wallpaper than not appearing at all).

I think its going to be a flashback to their original marriage and them just sort of renewing their vows? Anyway, I'm the opposite. I rather him be their for a small cameo because then their reconciliation won't be completely forgotten. On the bright side a little while back there was a solicit to some comic, can't remember what, the cover shown Kurt in what seems to be trying to stop Mystique from attacking Destiny. Hopefully it isn't a fake out. Though, post marriage that does seem strange. Honeymoon period didn't last very long. I KNEW I should have posted it here right then.

I saw that cover, but I don’t pay too much attention to them nowadays other than to appreciate the art. They barely ever indicate what’s going to happen in a book.



But the synopsis is promising:

Xmen forever #3
Now… War in Krakoa! A hunt in the White Hot Room! And a heartwarming family reunion (by which we mean "possibly involving setting fire to someone's heart with a flamethrower").

Yes, thats it. Thank you! And yes that summary seems promising.

NC fanart.

A continuation in my posting of "badass" Kurt being edgier as a leader. The plot thread started under AD. Here Kurt threatens to snap Nigel's neck. This characterization basically was pretty much forgotten when he returned to the states. Now, I don't want to see Kurt killing willy-nilly. But I don't have a problem with Kurt killing as a last resort.

He certainly has his edgier moments, this one comes to mind:



And you could count this more recent moment:



I’ve always thought of Kurt’s edgier side as ‘beware the fury of patient man’. Push him too far and you’ll see just what he’s really capable of. I wouldn’t say Nightcrawler would never kill, but like you say, it has to be the absolute last resort, pushed to his breaking point. This is why Duggans kill feels so random and wrong.

Based on the images we’ve seen so far, I theorise he may appear in one or two episodes. Also I think the team is going to meet him again on Genosha. Probably where Kurt ended up after the events of TOS. I figure that if he is in one or two, he’ll first meet them in episode 5 on Genosha (pics with gambit and Rogue) and may team up again later when everything hits the fan in at least one of the last three episodes.

Looks like my theory was right so far.

Love the face they gave him here.

He’s so adorable, very cat like. I’m still wrapping my head around him being so short, and I’m wondering if he’s been de-aged?
