Cool. Looks like Rogue got better really quick.

Um...at the bottom of that image, it says X-Men Legacy # 1. The way it was written made it sound like a solo Nightcrawler series launching in 2014. Unless Kurt is changing his name to Legacy, I'm thinking not, although he is prominently featured on the cover; that being said, the classic AF # 1 cover with the "stand aside heroes" montage of characters on it, all the others heroes featured on that cover did not go on to star in the book.

I see the word "implies" was used, so I'll not go on with what i was saying, as the point becomes moot. Just saying that having Puck appear on the cover, doesn't even mean he appears within the pages at all, let alone mean that he is still on an X-team somewhere. We'll see when the solicits come out, I guess.

If you read the interview it says it was originally going to be the next volume of X-Men Legacy starring Nightcrawler, like the current volume stars Legion, but they decided to brand the ongoing as Nightcrawler instead, after the image went to press.

And yes, all implication and possibility.

Either way, I still think a new Claremont X-Men has potential.

But then nobody would be able to correct me!

Wait; there was an interview?

Wait; i have to be able to READ?!

lol

That reads harsher than I meant it; apologies.

I just meant that in the interview it explains it.

I didn't think it sounded harsh, nor did i take it as such, so no worries.

The worst part is, I never learned to read! [ / Wayne]

I attended the Great Lakes Comic Con next to Detroit over the weekend and chatted with Chris Claremont. I asked him if Puck was going to be in Nightcrawler #1 since he's on the cover. Chris replied that he had not seen the cover yet and Puck is definitely not in issue 1. Whether Puck will be in future issues, don't know.

Just goes to show, you can't tell a book by its cover.

Heck, remember all the great heroes we all thought were going to be appearing in Alpha Flight Volume 1 Issue 1 when we first saw the cover? We had some great heroes, but they were all Flight.

If you can't judge a book by its cover, the cover artist isn't doing their job.

I won't disagree with you.

So, if you (or me) were in charge, a lot of cover artists would be out of work.

No - they'd just be held to greater standards. And expected to draw from the interior (which, I imagine, a lot of them want to do).

Nicely done Chris.
A cover appearance is better than nothing I suppose.
