Chris Claremont On Nightcrawler Being Alive In Days Of Future Past
Chris Claremont posted to Facebook regarding the Marvel Made Celebrates Chris Claremont volume. "Just letting the world know: Marvel's publishing a deluxe hardcover compilation of many of my coolest stories, complete with a prequel to 'Days of Future Past' by me & Salvador Larroca! (Whew!) Give it a look, you know you'll love it—especially with X-Mas coming!"
"Something to cheer about, the announcement of Uncanny X-Men #140.5 by me & Salvador Larroca, a 20 page prelude to 'Days of Future Past, part of a totally cool Marvel Made Paradon Collection. Cool stuff, great package, with dust plates, autographs & more." But with characters more associated with Claremont's run on Extreme X-Men, a number of which hadn't been created when Days Of Future Past was.
But the appearance of Nightcrawler raised questions. Filipe de Morales asked "But.. Nightcrawler died in the begining, with his wife (Amanda), and Illyana." Chris Claremont replied "did he?". He did, Chris, yes, as you wrote;
Nadav Millman confirmed "Supposedly Kurt and his wife Amanda were gunned down as they escorted Illyana to school. (UXM #188) My guess is that 1. Ray's intel was wrong. And 2. that Bess saved Kurt somehow. If she's really a version of Psylocke she could be a minor precog, too; maybe she sensed that her sweetie will be walking into an ambush."
Chris Claremont replied "read the story." We would, Chris, but it is $200… only 328 copies have currently been ordered of the 1200 necessary. Here are a few free pages.
