The Atom and Nightcrawler
I thought that Nightcrawler provided some of the best superhero movie action ever in X2: X-Men United, so I am glad that the character is finally being brought back in this Summer's X-Men: Apocalypse. I hope we will see more of Kurt Wagner's carefree personality this time around. I enjoyed Alan Cumming's take, but his Nightcrawler was pretty sullen for most of the film.

Well, with all due respect, Ross, that's pretty much how I remember Nightcrawler's initial depiction during Chris Claremont's reign. Fun-loving, outside! Introspective behind closed doors.
Sort of what Smokey Robinson sang about in "Tears Of A Clown."
As for this cover? Suitably swashbuckling. Bravo! :-)
Brilliant! Makes me wonder what "Sword of the Atom" would have been like taking place in a village of Bamfs.
I always loved the swashbuckling aspect of Nightcrawler. Teaming him up with the "Sword of the Atom" version of the Atom was brilliant!
I enjoyed the Burroughesque aspect of "Sword of the Atom", but looking back, it was a pretty strange twist for a superhero character to take. Ah... comics in the eighties!
And a sworded tale this is, too! #BadPunNoCookie
