Nightcrawler returns to the X-Mansion in this Giant Size X-Men exclusive
With mutants relocating to the island nation of Krakoa, the X-mansion in Westchester, New York, has been abandoned. But there’s something strange going on in the empty Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, and a team of mutants investigates in next week’s Giant Size X-Men: Nightcrawler, spotlighting the fuzzy elf as he uncovers horrors in his old stomping grounds. Last month’s Giant Size X-Men: Jean Grey & Emma Frost was a beautifully surreal, largely text-free homage to the classic New X-Men #121, sending the titular pair into Storm’s wounded brain to perform a psychic rescue mission. It showed how writer Jonathan Hickman uses these one-shots to enrich character while driving major mutant storylines forward, and given recent events with Nightcrawler in last month’s X-Men #7, there is a lot for Hickman to explore with Kurt Wagner’s current plan to create a new mutant religion.
