These passed few weeks I have been reading the Nightcrawler: Icons comics. I personally have to say, they pretty much sucked ass. Don't get me wrong, I love Kurt, but the art was horrible, the story line seemed too pushed, and they got him so out of character that I was practically laughing.
The cover art was incredible. So I took a peek inside to see what the inside was like, surely they're CLOSE. Alas, I saw a heavily inked, poorly drawn, sketchy, messy, hard to look at piece of comic book history. This, unfortunately, was after I bought a set of all four for $9.99... Yeah, I know, you need to check out the merchandise before buying it, but what can I say, the cover art was too pretty to ignore.
The writing was so half-assed it was laughable. The plot was way too manic, almost like a bad fanfic. I realize that Marvel™ specializes in writing their own bloody fan fictions, but this was just too bad...
Finally, Kurt was a little too angsty. I do like him angsty at times, but I think the pretenses were just a little too stu[id for him to have reacted in such a way. We all know Kurt isn't one to be unaware of cruelty, and yet in this he acts like some police rookie on his first patrol! Unlike in this series, Kurt has always been unsurprised by cruelty, and is usually unmoved by it due to the fact that he grew up in several instances of extreme cruelty and neglect after he left his foster mother, Margali's circus. Like in another Nightcrawler comic series, it is revealed that Kurt was subjected to being caged up like an animal while his powers were surpressed by a certain sedative.
Anyway, this is all in my opinion, so don't kill Marvel™ for making a crappy comic set, okay? Everyone make mistakes... Even Marvel™.
