When reading X men I was actually kind of bored, I found the storyline to be much less interesting then I expected it to be. The only story I believed to be somewhat interesting was where they all went to save a fellow X men from the depths of hell which was actually a fake hell in which they had to enter every level of the inferno. I appreciated the twist of Dante's story within a comic book; having read Dante's Inferno I was able to make connections between differences and similarities between the original story and the X men's version of what the inferno was.
The reason for Nightcrawler being brought into hell was not found out until the end of the story, which in my opinion made for a nice twist. I was not expecting the reason for him being brought to hell being that he kept his promise to his stepbrother and killed him as he said he would. His Stepmother did not know about this promise and thus hated Nightcrawler and wanted him to pay for the suffering she experienced from the death of her child. At the end of this story everyone makes up with each other and all the long lived family problems are solved due to Nightcrawler's stepsister interfering in family affairs. This little tidbit of A step sister meddling in affairs and creating peace within a family, proving that her step brother is innocent for killing the other brother reminds me of a storyline one would most likely see in a DayTime Soap.
