Nightcrawler #4

In Nightcrawler #4 (2014), Chris Claremont and Todd Nauck deliver a haunting chapter as the X-Men face the Trimegas, uncovering a chilling link to Margali’s long-hidden motives. When Amanda learns Margali seeks to master the afterlife by exploiting Nightcrawler’s return from death, she’s forced to make a desperate choice—crossing through a newly opened portal to the World Beyond to seal it, leaving Nightcrawler behind. The emotional weight of his inability to follow her, after having once left Heaven, lingers in the silence as the portal closes. Jamie McKelvie’s striking cover captures the moment’s gravity, while Rachelle Rosenberg’s colors and Cory Petit’s lettering deepen the atmosphere.
