Tom, I realize we shouldn't jump to conclusions with Nightcrawler. But as an avid-fan, I've read the books, I know the signals I've gotten from the amazing Jason Aaron. All I can really say is if he DOES come back, there's no one better to kick-off his return than the wonderfully talented Matt Fraction, who signed my hat & X-Men issue of Kurt's death. (He wrote "Yost did it!" while Bendis roared with laughter).
