The obvious question that we're left asking after this issue is: what "deal" did Nightcrawler make with the bamfs? My concern over the answer is that it's going to be a long time before we get it and that it's not going to be all that interesting when it does come. Did Kurt give them his soul? If so, he'll just find some way to recover it. Did he promise not to return to Earth so that the bamfs could go there? If so, I'm pretty sure that we'll break that rule next issue.
Beyond the bamfs, I have to say that I thought that Aaron employed some pretty serious shortcuts here. Over the last three issues, it was a standing question how Nightcrawler was going to find his friends and defend the afterlife from his father. But, in this issue, he suddenly seems to be able to move between Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell pretty easily, making you wonder why he didn't do so sooner. With the crew now assembled by the end of the issue, it's pretty clear that we're going to make short work of Azazel and his crew next issue.
