The Claremont Runさんのイラストまとめ

This sort of narrative technique became popular in the 1950s in the wake of Cold War paranoia. We see it manifest extensively in pulp SF of the time (such as Philip K Dicki’s “Imposter”) or in many of the EC Comics werewolf stories (something Silvestri riffs on beautifully). 2/4

If you’ve been good all year long, and you happen to suffer a traumatic injury in the Metropolitan Denver area, the Easter Bunny will visit you and give you his magic eggs. 2/5

Meanwhile, Prof. X is on Earth, considering the cycle of renewal. Believing his students to be dead, he must choose whether to foster more by forming the New Mutants or to give up entirely in the face of an ephemeral world and the agony of loss. 6/7 #newmutants

Where Dark Phoenix moves toward a cohesive metaphor, The Brood Saga instead offers variations on a theme – that of death - approaching this issue from multiple angles based on individual character experiences. 1/7 #XMen

As this example shows, the effects of such romance-based character-building choices (and how they manifest) are exceedingly complex (good, bad, complicated) and can be monumental to Claremont’s run and beyond. 5/5

One of the more interesting character questions in a group dynamic revolves around who gets to have a romantic/sexual side of their character developed and who does not. This question has had a particularly noteworthy effect on Claremont’s X-Men. 1/5 #xmen

@InfiniteWars @ClassicXMen @LetsColossus @Cyttorak_Herald This was revisited in X-Men: Manifest Destiny in a delightful way. Logan and Kurt want to cheer up Piotr after Kitty disappears and all they can come up with is to have Rockslide attack him a la Juggernaut in the kitchen.

Though the literal setting changes, the metaphorical concept keeps re-emerging in more modern iterations such as Utopia or now Krakoa. In each of these instances the X-Men are given a privileged space from which to reach out and change the world. 6/6

The sub-basement also forms a spatial metaphor. The surface mansion is quaint and genteel. The underground is a paramilitary training ground. This is an apt metaphor for the X-Men’s mission and its combination of gentle optics belying aggressive capability. 5/6

It also helps define particular eras. The Australian era, in which the X-Men are pushed out of the nest is one such example, as is the mutant massacre, with the tunnels forming a spatial metaphor of the X-Men’s vulnerability to their friends being hurt. 4/6
