Publisher’s description

Marvel’s strangest mutant takes to the skies in his own mini-series! Kurt Wagner is more than the X-Man Nightcrawler- once a circus performer, Kurt still harbors dreams of swashbuckling adventure and derring-do. And those dreams may well become reality! While attempting to rescue Kitty Pryde’s dragon Lockheed, Nightcrawler is transported to an alien dimension of high-flying pirates, sorcery, and plenty of plunder!
