Rant ahoy.
He doesn't date Amanda anymore. Thank god. And no, that still doesn't justify his solo series having a magical theme. The result was that he, as usual, didn't actually get to make a difference through his own power, which is a problem that constantly plagues the character.
After 12 issues of Kurt telling his magic-wielding friends to smite the enemy, calming angry spirits by looking through books in the library and then borrowing Illyana's Legendary Soulsword to swat demonic flies, I was left pretty puzzled as to why Mephisto considered this guy a threat. The "explanatory" comment in issue #11 about how he, Margali and Amanda were "cut from the same cloth" rang thoroughly false, especially considering Margali's history of being a murderous, manipulative, scheming demon queen and that Amanda hooked up with Kurt under false pretenses because she couldn't trust him enough to be 100% sure that he wasn't a murderer. Wagner is not a Szardos.
Aguirre-Sacasa just used the supernatural theme because he's fond of it and uses it in almost everything he writes (or did, at least, I haven't looked up his work recently).
I was just disappointed, because a Nightcrawler series could have been so awesome, but instead they made it everything he shouldn't be: angsty, dreary, dark and dull.
