The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

Scott Bukatman famously notes that Marvel “presented as obvious an allegory of pubescent metamorphosis as one could imagine” and X-Men might be the best at this by portraying superpowers that emerge at pubescence to create social upheaval and isolation. #xmen 1/5

Dazzler’s personal experience even conforms to that of an epic hero by including a journey to the underworld (she is thought dead and buried) and even a story structure that conforms to the monomyth (aka “the hero’s journey.”) 5/7

In the story that unfolds, Rogue chaperones Longshot, Psylocke and Dazzler through a training exercise on Muir Island, which goes poorly. Dazzler leaves in frustration, contemplating quitting, but bumps into Juggernaut and decides to pursue him…which goes poorly. 2/7

UXM 217-218 represents an important turning point and litmus test for the entire series. In the wake of the Mutant Massacre, Claremont uses this arc to try out new X-Men, a new direction for the series, and even a new penciler who will go on to redefine the franchise. 1/7 #xmen

One of the most direct influences on C’s portrayal of women in UXM was his mother, who worked for the British Air Force (in WWII) and later became a pilot. The significance of this is pretty easy to map, given the number of literal women pilots in UXM and in C’s novels. #xmen 1/4

Claremont treated the X-Men as an ensemble, and, though he clearly favored Storm, even she would pass in and out of issues without a consistent central focus. In contrast, when Claremont left, Wolverine dominated all issues and the group dynamic may have lost its balance. 3/5

One of the most underappreciated arts in comics is costume design, the creation of fictional fashion. The unique platform provided by the launch of X-Men v2 in 1991 created a pivotal vehicle for Jim Lee’s costumes to redefine the superhero aesthetic of the time. #xmen 1/3

Through all of this, Claremont ties together decades of Betsy continuity across multiple authors and franchises to form a cohesive vision of a traumatized person who hated feeling weak and therefore sought power. 8/9

Covetous of the power of the rings now, Betsy easily dispatches her former comrades in brief scenes that foreshadow the eventual reveals of each character’s location after the siege perilous, all part of Matsuo’s plan to have her “execute” her heroic self. 6/9

Doug Ramsay then replaces Jamie, and admonishes Betsy for her recklessness and for pretending to be something she isn’t. She becomes sad at first, hurt by his observation, and then she lashes out at him in anger before entering Spiral’s body shop. 4/9
