Nightcrawler #6

Kurt Wagner bursts forward in a flash of teleportation smoke, his blue form radiating energy — while a massive, multi-eyed mechanical giant looms behind him with a menacing grin that makes the threat feel genuinely enormous. Todd Nauck's cover composition is wonderfully dynamic, placing Nightcrawler at the center of what looks like an impossible standoff against a towering armored villain. Chris Claremont and Nauck, with colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, deliver a visually striking chapter in this 2014 solo series that puts one of the X-Men's most beloved swashbucklers front and center.
