The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

The variation is explained by Austin Gorton as follows: “Stern originally intended to use this series as a means to restore Magneto to villainy. However, the higher-ups at Marvel…stepped in (whether at the urging of Claremont or not is unclear) and nixed that idea” 7/11

Poignantly, Magik does show affectation at one point in the story, despite her otherwise pragmatic nature. She reacts to seeing Kitty Pryde hurt, a great way to shine a light on their relationship and its capacity to break through (or break down) Illyana’s barriers. 13/13

The duality of the scene is compelling. Magik is actually trying to make Moira more comfortable (so good intention), but failing at it due to a lack of understanding. This is then aptly symbolized with Magik conjuring clothes for Moira that are “not your style.” 8/13

She ‘ports into Moira’s bathroom while Moira is showering and shows little consideration for the context of the scene, the abrupt arrival, or even Moira’s state of undress. She does show a capacity for consideration, however, in leaving a note for Banshee. 3/13

Also, this issue features a wonderful Illyana scene that I will focus on tomorrow because I really want to break it down in-depth.

Thus, there’s an emotional burden carried by the New Mutants in this issue that adds depth to the broader tragedy of the mutant massacre without stalling the symbolically important frenetic pace of that event as it unfolds in the pages of UXM and elsewhere. 8/8

From there C cultivated an existing rivalry with Rogue, a romance with Longshot, a friendship with the other X-Ladies, and a shared misery/rivalry with the other reluctant X-Man, Havok. At the same time, Alison contributed verve and style to an otherwise grim Australia team. 6/7

For Holm, Claremont’s experience (and subsequent portrayal) of ‘Britishness’ comes “second hand via popular culture,” such as we see in his use of the very British “school days genre” to build the “Girls School from Heck” story arc. 5/9

All combined, it’s a simple scene with a remarkable volume of craft and innovation on full display. Every piece of the machine connects to create a brief harrowing moment of grief and despair and acceptance that informs the characters and scenes to come for months on end. 12/12

That starkness then informs Jean’s reaction to waking up: immediately summoning unfathomable power in a desperate bid to find her teammates. Though she’d later explain that it’s the X-Men she wants to find, her first reaction is to scream “Scott” alone. 9/12
