Kurt Wagner is going from Nightcrawler to wall-crawler. Marvel Comics in April announced the teleporting X-Man would don a new identity in the wake of Fall of X, and now, the nightcrawling wall-crawler is BAMFing into the pages of Uncanny Spider-Man #1. Written by Si Spurrier (Legion of X, Nightcrawlers) and illustrated by artist Lee Garbett (Groot, Strange), the five-issue limited series pits Nightcrawler’s Spider-Man against Silver Sable, the Rhino, and the Orchis organization’s Stark Sentinels — and teams Kurt Wagner with Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man.

“What we’ve got here is a spectacular new beginning — which, yes, iscode for ‘perfect jumping-on point’ — which leans hard into heroic,joyful, street-level action,” Spurrier said when announcing the series. “Writing Kurt hasalways been an exercise in heart. He was the first to feel the cracks inKrakoa… and the first to try and do something about it. Unfailinglyloyal to his people, his friends and his responsibilities, he’s gonethrough a lot. What’s been missing for him is the joy. The freedom. Thethrill. And that’s where we find him now. In a restyled Spidey Suit,BAMFing across New York and rubbing shoulders (and butting heads) withthe best heroes and villains of the Manhattan milieu…but of courseit’s not quite that simple. Is Nightcrawler really doing this for thethrill? Or is he hiding? Is it easier to put on a mask and punch somevillains in the nose than it is to stare trauma in the eye…?”
With Wolverine becoming the demonic Hellverine and Kitty Pryde reinventing Shadowcat as the ninja-like Shadowkat, Kurt dons his new identity after the latest mutant massacre left mutantkind near-extinct in the shadow of X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1.
Marvel describes Uncanny Spider-Man: “Escaping the turmoil of FALL OF X in a flash of smoke and brimstone,it’s time for Nightcrawler to play the swashbuckling, devil-may-carehero he was always destined to be! A potential new lover, battling someof the most iconic members of Spidey’srogues gallery, and saving civilians, mutant and human alike—Kurt ishaving the time of his life! But it’s not all fun and games…Nightcrawler will also be a lone soldier on the frontlines ofmutantkind’s upcoming war with Orchis. Throughout the saga, he’ll also confront a long-simmering mystery surrounding his mother, Mystique, as Spurrier’s bold transformation of the character approaches a startling climax!”
