The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

A useful comparison might by Francisco Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son,” and the associated myth, both of which depict a leader whose pursuit of power has led him to the ultimate act of corruption: the ironic destruction of the future itself. 2/11

Because it’s a single issue, the story is condensed, forcing Claremont to choose which character arcs to prioritize, ultimately focusing on the Doug/Warlock relationship, Illyana’s demonic temptation and Moonstar’s defiance of her Valkyrie role. 3/7

“…The X-Men maintain a clear independence given that they are not even always aligned with the American nation-state, and their territoriality is often ambiguously defined largely because as mutants they are often seen as undesirables in America.” 7/8

“All I want to do is take him in my arms, to be his father in fact as well as name. To me, it doesn’t matter if the stakes are the life of the universe or a small scared child whose life – through no fault of his own – has become an endless nightmare.” 3/12

The Phoenix retcon is seen by many to have derailed Claremont’s construction of Scott Summers as a noble character, but in the pages of X-Factor #68, Claremont takes a last swing at Scott, imbuing his hardest choice with a rare, and reflective, pathos. #xmen 1/12

In an interview with The School Library Journal, GLAAD and Eisner award-winner, James Tynion IV, speaks to the capacity for X-Men comics to counter the media’s symbolic annihilation of queer youth in the CCA era and to help queer youth feel seen. #xmen 1/5

Classic X-Men #15 showcases duality as one of Claremont’s most pivotal character-building strategies with an antithetical portrayal of Corsair (a confident, swashbuckling space pirate) as a broken man, outwardly and inwardly defeated. #xmen 1/9

As the lobotomy occurs, Claremont offers a beautiful scene of Scott reaching into a womb-like energy signature to extract Jean, taking the love of his life by the hand and bringing her back into the world, now unencumbered by the Phoenix. 5/8

In the immediate aftermath, the story cuts to Charles, serving as reader-analogue by reacting to Piotr's defeat and to the subsequent realization that the X-Men are doomed. His grief signals the extent of that defeat to the reader and changes the tenor of the entire battle. 6/7

Also of pivotal importance here is the control of rhythm. The battle thus far has been frantic - bouncing between scenes, combatants, small victories, devastating setbacks. The anticipatory pause slows everything to a rare stillness, setting the table for the final push. 4/7
