If you've been following Lisa and Lauren's coverage of EXILES (2001) starring Kurt's daughter Nocturne, then you know that the planet eater himself showed up recently- so why not talk more about him, his (fake) internet blogging career, and shoutout celeb listener and Nightcrawler lover GAIL SIMONE? If it connects back to Nightcrawler - Lisa and Lauren will do it! Tune in for a silly l...

The Exiles are back and it's time for Nightcrawler's daughter's (Nocturne's) first heartbreak! (and Lauren's emotions being EXILED for the first time) Lisa and Lauren read Exiles (2001) #9 and #10. Don't believe that all of Marvel's top franchises can come together in 1 non-event book in a well-written way? Look no further to be proven wrong! Who all is in this issue? D...

Lisa has a CONTROVERSIAL and HOT TAKE this week for everyone- including Lauren! Lisa claims there is 1 actor who, if this were 10+ years ago, could've been the PERFECT live-action Nightcrawler! But now, they never will be able to, because of how they are already attached to Marvel Films. WHO. IS, IT?!? Get Lauren's LIVE reaction and see if Lisa can justify herself- or does she need too? Wh...

Have you been wondering when the heck we are gonna read more about Nocturne? Guess what? We’re back with The Exiles!  Lisa and Lauren read Exiles (2001) #7 and #8, and all in perfect timing- because this new arc involves THE SKRULLS! Secret Invasion anyone? More like Direct Invasion! (When you read #8, you’ll get it!) But what’s this about Nocturne and her sexualization in the comics? Is it simila...

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! (don't worry, we didn't forget a Pride episode this month ;D) A CBR article was recently published detailing if/why Alan Cumming could or should return as Nightcrawler in Deadpool 3! If other X-Men cast members can, why can't he? Well... Lisa and Lauren dive into whether this idea could work and whether or not it's a good idea! Also, they had no choice but to div...

YOU asked for it, #BamfNation! Lisa and Lauren delivered… very confused and trying their best! Nightcrawlers #1-3 was part of the Sins of Sinister event, involving Mr. Sinister cloning and creating Chimera that have a large portion of Kurt aka Nightcrawler’s DNA. But is Mr. Sinister really the one pulling all the strings himself, or is someone else, maybe a Mother Righteous involved?  Does anythin...

Well, it happened.. and we need to talk about it. The Fall of X is coming and it's hitting Kurt like a ton of bricks. How are we feeling about the issue paving the way for Uncanny Spider-Man? Why does Kurt make this huge decision? Was Mother Righteous a worthy villain? And... WHERE IS KURT'S DICK?! If you know where Kurt's dick is, or have feelings about Kurt, let us know our Simply Am...

In this episode, Lisa and Lauren read Manifest Destiny Nightcrawler #1 (2009). Taking place shortly after the 2007 Nightcrawler series, Kurt didn't seem to have a "place" in X-Men comics back then- and writers and editorial knew it. Thus, they created this one-shot where Kurt leaves the X-Men and tries to find his purpose again. Was this a good soul-searching one-shot for Kurt or a p...

We are BACK after a Simply Amazing break! While we are away, some of our Simply Amazing Manifestations were granted by Marvel Comics themselves! ...But were they what we wanted?

SHE DID IT, #BamfNation! Lisa FINALLY got Lauren to read EXILES! Why are we reading Exiles from 2001? Because it's a series NOCTURNE, aka Nightcrawler's Daughter, was a HUGE part of! Ever wonder what it would be like to jump between multiple X-Men realities and universes, each and every arc? With characters you can grow to love and potentially lose at any second? The stakes are never higher than E...
