Hello, mister-wagner! ;) I wanted to ask—why Kurt? What made you fall for him? (Besides his blue booty, of course.) And which issue or comic? And if you've already talked about this, can you direct me to where? Many thanks!
Hello! Why? That’s easy, we’re talking about a character that others referring to as Blueberry Muffin :D I’ve come across a description of him somewhere once, which was something like ‘He has the appearance of a devil but has a soul of an angel’. I think this sums it up well why I love him so much.
How did it happen? It wasn’t actually comics, I’ve watched the X2 movie a long time back and that made me fall in love with him instantly. Then I started to dig into comics, I was learning more and more about Kurt and the X-Men and nothing could stop it since then :) It was an on and off journey, I wasn’t an active fan and reader all the time, and when the Apocalypse movie came out, it made me fall back again, and that made me create this blog too.Since it wasn’t because of the comics I can’t recall any particular ones when I started reading, but now with lots of comics behind me, I can say that the most memorable series was of course from the Claremont era and Excalibur.
There are lots of excellent examples of why Kurt is so great, here’s one you can check out: The Big Dare - https://mister-wagner.tumblr.com/post/167989979088/canary-yellow-dad-logan-helps-kurt-feel
