Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler #5

Something has gone terribly wrong in the spotlight. Shane Davis and Michelle Delecki's cover puts Nightcrawler center stage — literally — his blue form crouched in a snarling, feral pose before a packed theater audience, glowing yellow eyes wild and fangs bared, clutching a red-and-black-costumed figure who appears to be at his mercy. Part of the "Age of X-Man" event, this fifth and final issue of Seanan McGuire and Juan Frigeri's run promises a dramatic reckoning for everyone's favorite swashbuckling teleporter — and the theatrical setting makes the tension all the more unsettling.
