Stories

Quitting Time · 32 pages
Nightcrawler decides it is time to leave the X-Men and plans a trip to his hometown in Germany to visit the Nightcrawler Museum which has opened there. Once he arrives, he discovers that the town is being terrorized by a giant demon and he is expected to track the beast down. Nightcrawler discovers that Vielfras is simply a misunderstood boy thought to be a demon because of his appearance, just as he was so many years ago. After the situation ends badly and Nightcrawler has a conversation with the devil, he decides to return to the X-Men.

Publisher’s description

Since the move to San Francisco and after the events of X-Infernus, Nightcrawler realizes a hard truth-he has to quit the X-Men. Kurt has realized that the X-Men just don't need him anymore. He hasn't been operating at his highest levels and even the biggest strength he has-teleportation-has been made redundant by Pixie who can do it better and more efficiently. Don't miss the departure of one of the most important characters in X-Men history.
