Uncanny Spider-Man #1 provides a unique insight into the headspace of Nightcrawler in a way that helps the reader interpret the Fall of X event. Read Full Review
Uncanny Spider-Man #1 is a wonderful piece of deception. It merges two of the most popular corners of the Marvel universe just by putting Nightcrawler in a costume and pretending he’s a web-slinger, and the concept is amazing. Read Full Review
Bolstered by fantastic art, this issue was the best of Spurrier's current run. Nightcrawler faithful, your draught may at last be coming to an end. (Fingers crossed.) Read Full Review

Uncanny Spider-Man #1 weaves a tangled web for Kurt Wagner, as he dons a new identity and continues to keep fighting the good fight.

Uncanny Spider-Man #1 is an excellent debut for the rare Nightcrawler solo series one that weds the character's intrinsic joy with the tragic optimism he must possess in a world filled by so many shadows. Read Full Review
Uncanny Spider-Man #1 is a fun read but there's moments the characterization of Nightcrawler seems a bit odd and outdated. Still, it's an interesting new take for the character and with what's teased, a hell of a big deal for what's to come for the entire X-Men line. Read Full Review
As for Uncanny Spider-Man #1 itself, writer Si Spurrier does a commendable job of integrating Kurt to the wider Spider-Verse while also continuing his ongoing Nightcrawler/Krakoa narrative that started in Way of X. This comic is very much of a larger piece he began in that series, but still new reader friendly enough for people to jump aboard with. Read Full Review
Uncanny Spider-Man #1 is a solid start to the new status quo for Nightcrawler during the Fall of X direction. Si Spurrier and Lee Garbett highlight how even in this situation Nightcrawler is a superhero at heart and wants to live a life protecting others. Balancing that out with the heavy emotional weight Nightcrawler is carrying after what Orchis did to mutants is something with a lot of potential to explore during this mini-series. Read Full Review
For the casual fan, the adventure works as a bit of a What If tale, but I doubt I'll stick around to see the larger story play out. Read Full Review
Oh, we are so back. Si Spurrier writing Nightcrawler as the main character is something I've been missing, and this debut issue is just great. Aside from Garbett's nice art, Spurrier continues to write Kurt very well. I liked the more humorous approach he took to this title, especially in the beginning with Kurt trying to be witty and trying to have banter. However, that doesn't drown out the more serious moments, such as when he's talking with Peter and he has the "mini-Nightcrawler" talking down to him in his head. Overall, I thought this was a really strong start and I hope the team is able to maintain this level of quality.
Really vibed with this one
So I HATED Way of X. I HATED Legion of X even more and all the Onslaught garbage too. Expected to hate this but gave it a fair shake.
As a Nightcrawler fan I feel like this is a return to form. It helps that he jettisoned the clunky supporting cast of the last 2 books. (No one cares about Lost and Forgetmenot).
Liked the relationship between Kurt and Peter. Like the street level aspect which mutants don’t usually get. Intrigued to carry on, and I don’t give this score lightly.
When I first read the solicit for this issue I wasn't sure about it. But this comic really surprised me. Spurrier has written an intriguing opening issue which is a lot of fun. Who knew we needed the Kurt Wagner version of Spider-Man? I enjoyed this a lot more than the current ASM series. Definitely worth a look.
Fun read
