The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

As noted by Julius Darius of Sequart, the work of comics legend Alan Moore was directly influenced by Claremont. Moore praised Claremont’s run on UXM in interview while working on Marvelman, a story which drew quite heavily from the Dark Phoenix Saga in particular. #xmen 1/5

We then see a divine boon bestowed upon the team in return for their heroic virtue. Here, it’s very literal, but in the broader series it’s more often some stroke of unfathomable luck that makes a way through possible despite impossible odds. 8/9

As the X-Men’s assault unfolds, we get a dynamic conflict revealing the distinctive roles (leader, co-ordinator, muscle, loner, idealist, novice, big gun) that constitute the team. 4/9

When the X-Men finally arrive, their heroism and idealism is accentuated in contrast with the ruthless brutality of the villains who serve as foils by which to define the necessary aggressive new paramilitary status of the X-Men. 3/9

The story starts by establishing a world of hate and fear, with the Reavers raising the stakes in terms of violence and cruelty, drawing on a Mad Max aesthetic well-suited to launch the new Australia era. 2/9

And then, in spite of the already epic complexity, we learn that there is in fact a 4th party in the mix, in the form of Spiral, who uses the chaos to take Rachel away for herself/Mojo, thus leaving the other parties fighting needlessly over something they’ve already lost. 7/7

Claremont had also, for years, been playing with the internal divisions of the Hellfire Club and that group’s simmering hatred for the X-Men, not to mention their desire to lash out - weighed against their own image-control. There’s some delightful court politics in play. 4/7

If this point wasn’t clear after years of character interactions, Wolverine drives that message home by stabbing her in order to preserve the X-Men’s moral high-ground. This is, in-truth, way outside of Logan’s established character, but serves the themes of Rachel’s arc. 3/7

The first intersection is the build-up of Rachel’s anger and isolation in cohort with her recent acquisition of the Phoenix power. As her mom taught readers, Phoenix needs emotional stability and Rachel remains distant within the X-Men found family. 2/7 @AlielynR @TalkRachelGrey

This puts the X-Men at odds with their bodies; something Bukatman notes, and a very relatable experience for anyone who has been through pubescence. Claremont plays with this idea extensively throughout the run and from a variety of angles. 2/5
