Uncanny X-Men Annual #4: Go to Hell, Nightcrawler

It is Nightcrawler's birthday and everyone is celebrating at the mansion. One of his presents explodes in his face and he appears to be dead. Unable to figure anything else out, Xavier calls on Dr. Strange. Turns out that Kurt isn't dead, his soul is just missing.

So the X-Men plus Dr. Strange head to hell, where they find Nightcrawler go through the various circles of hell from Dante's Inferno, and end up finding out the person who abducted him is Margali, his adoptive mother. Apparently, she blames Nightcrawler for her son's death, which turned out to be true, but a situation where he did what he had to do, as Stefan was a killer and had made Kurt promise to end him if he ever became a danger to others.

Oh, also Amanda Sefton turned out to actually be Jimaine, Margali's daughter in disguise who was spying on him because she couldn't believe that he would perform evil. Margali let's them all go.

X-Tra Notes: Man, the fact that Amanda turned out to be Kurt's old lost love, who also happens to be his adoptive sister is definitely a thing.
