Nightcrawler #1
This collection kicks off the 2014 Nightcrawler series by Chris Claremont and Todd Nauck, following Kurt Wagner's return to the X-Men after his death and resurrection. The story explores his reconnection with old friends and his Catholic faith, while a mysterious new villain targets him. It collects issues #1-5 of the series.
In "Can We Go Home Again?", Nightcrawler faces a haunting return when Trimega manifests in three forms, each wielding distinct powers, forcing Margali to confront her past. With Kurt and Amanda seeking sanctuary at the X-Men school, Margali’s true intentions unfold as she casts a spell on Beast and Storm, leaving them eerily diminished. As the threat escalates, a far greater horde of Trimegas descends upon the school. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Todd Nauck, with vibrant colors by Rachelle Rosenberg and sharp lettering by Cory Petit, the issue’s dynamic art is matched by Chris Samnee’s striking cover.

Trimega returns in three bodies, each with different powers, but finally Margali banishes the three of them. Kurt agrees Margali should return with him and Amanda to the school so the X-Men can protect her and determine what Trimega is after. However, once inside the school, Margali places a spell on Beast and Storm to access their knowledge, leaving them reduced to little more than drawings on paper. Just as Amanda realizes what her mother is truly after, an even larger force of Trimegas than before assaults the school.
