Amazing X-Men #4 – “The Quest for Nightcrawler IV”
written by Jason Aaron art by Ed McGuinness & Dexter Vines
bonus:
How is there anyone anywhere on earth who has read an X-men comic who doesn’t think that Nightcrawler and Logan are hella gay and in love with each other
Seriously, tho
They are literally full on embracing there and Logan’s last thoughts when he thinks he’s about to die aren’t of any of the female characters he’s “Loved” according to Marvel’s editors…not of his creepy fixation on Jean Grey, not of Mariko, not of whoever that random character inserted into his backstory who wound up being Daken’s mom was…. his last thoughts are of Kurt
Marvel: This is just two bros being bros
Me, an intellectual: THIS IS ROMANTIC LOVE
True Facts: The artist who drew this cover confirmed at a con with Greg Rucka that it is 100% what you think it is
And then laughed gleefully at how the imbeciles in Marvel editorial completely failed to spot this and basically published his slash fanart as an official cover 😀
Wait what did they think it was?
Because it’s very clearly naked Nightcrawler and a pissed looking Logan.
What? What did they think it was? Did they assume he was wearing dark pants? Does Nightcrawler often chill naked and so this is normal for him?
I too am genuinely baffled as to how they didn’t see how HELLA GAY this cover was 😀
The levels of denial the straights can engage in when confronted with blatantly gay material is baffling.
The power of their Heteronormative Goggles is so great that they cannot see the gay when it’s looking them right in the face (And when one of the gays looking them right in the face is also looking his boyfriend right in the crotch)
