'Kay, done with the spoiler tags now.

I was right.
"IGN Comics: Jason Aaron had Nightcrawler appear in a recent issue of Weapon X. With Nightcrawler's death now I assume that wasn't just a random appearance but something that plays into future stories?
Lowe: No, that wasn't random. Jason was at the retreat when we planned this whole thing out. He definitely knew what was coming. That wasn't a chance occurrence."
So, clearly, that "Good-bye, Logan"/"Good-bye, Kurt" was symbolic of a much, much longer good-bye. Oh oh oh. Who called it? I diiiiid. Go me!
.......... *sniffle*
And some fun stuff for fans of the epic bromance that is Kurt and Logan's relationship:
"IGN Comics: And based on what we saw in that Second Coming prologue issue, would Wolverine be another one that's affected in the long term by this death?
Lowe: Oh yeah. Big time. Nightcrawler is his best friend. He's definitely going to get hit hard by this. You're going to see that in Second Coming. You're going to see that in the stories coming out of it and in Uncanny X-Men. You're going to see it in Wolverine: Weapon X and all over the place. He's definitely hit very, very hard by this. His best friend died in this war they're fighting, and in some sense he regrets that and his team couldn't get to Bastion faster."
It's just started to hit me that... I won't be seeing Crawler for a good long time now. (Also, apparently Kitty's not gonna get to do much during Second Coming. Boo, both of my favs off the roster. It's still a lot of fun, though.)
Another post forthcoming.
