Nightcrawler and Mephisto

[cyberghostface]

We all know what happened when Mephisto made a bargain with Spider-Man...but what happens when he tries his luck with a certain furry blue elf?

This comes from the final issue of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's Nightcrawler series, #12. Art is by Darick Robertson. I posted some pages from this selection a year ago in the InsaneJournal comm, but nothing that's not here, so it still fits in the 1/3 legality.

So basically, Kurt is celebrated with a surprise birthday party from the rest of the X-Men. Suddenly, everyone freezes except for Kurt. At first Kurt thinks that Professor X is pulling a joke, but then he recognizes something far more sinister is afoot.

"Mephistopheles."







Mephisto basically outlines a number of encounters Nightcrawler has had with other demons (presumably earlier in the series) and how it's all leading up to the final war.





Wait, let's see that again...



Oh, snap! He just punched out Mephisto! No pussyfooting around for "one more day", no giving into the devil...just POW!



So Kurt is transplanted back to where he was earlier--with the birthday party--and wonders if the whole thing was fake. But he knows otherwise, and prays that his faith will remain strong once the trumpets sound and the war finally begins.

I believe the scientific term is Sharktopus: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1619880/

I remember when I first heard about this movie and how Syfy was doing it. And then I learned it was produced by Roger Corman. And it is starring Eric Roberts. And this is the trailer: http://www.getthebigpicture.net/blog/2010/7/17/trailer-syfys-glorious-sharktopus.html where we learn that Sharktopus has a theme song. He has a THEME SONG.

Conclusion: This movie looks horribly ridiculous and bad and I will watch it a hundred times when it comes out.

Dear me, that sounds rubbish.

If you'll excuse me, off to stock up on popcorn.

Looks more like a shark/octopus/dinosaur,/bird dragon hybrid to me.
