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

And that’s it for CONTEST II. The plot is fine, the artwork is good, and there are some fun moments, but none of it together ever rises above serviceable. Claremont gives us so much unnecessary wordage that again I can’t help but wonder if he would rather be writing prose. YMMV.

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 Claremont takes a last swing at Scott, imbuing his hardest choice with a rare, and reflective, pathos. 1/12

Classic X-Men 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. 1/9

The Claremont-era of Vignettes is (mostly) over... and boy, does it show.
This time out, Wolverine fights a bear -- and throws an arrow with such force that it penetrates a knee!

When Chris Claremont killed off Psylocke in X-Treme X-Men his plan was to bring her back to life soon after as Bogan's shadow telepath. She would be stripped of all of the Crimson Dawn and back in her OG body. Larroca worked up a design for her and everything.

I would like to thank not only the Dodson’s but Chris Claremont and Grant Morrison as well.

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

That parallel informs the scene here, leading the reader to hope a similar miracle is comiring – Claremont and Byrne seize that hope and let it linger on extensively to create a sense of anticipation for the moment of uplift that the reader craves. And then Gladiator emerges. 3/7

In the fateful climax of UXM 137, the X-Men find themselves fighting the Shi’ar Royal Guard for the life of Jean. During the battle, Claremont & Byrne expertly use a conflict between Colossus and Gladiator to symbolize the impossible: the X-Men aren’t going to win. 1/7

Then, Kurt teaches Daniel to juggle. It’s a lengthy sequence, which can feel jarring between the weighty emotions & life-and-death stakes that bracket it. But the sequence is lengthy for a reason—because it’s where Claremont signposts this as a story about storytelling. 8/11

Though often backburnered, the most enduring, diverse, and high-stakes romance in the Claremont run might actually be Xavier/Lilandra, spanning the entirety of the run and playing an important role in key plots, character relationships, and characterizations. 1/8

Revisiting Dark Phoenix holds the potential to diminish the impact of the original story, but in UXM 175, Claremont was able to use the shadow of the Phoenix to craft a compelling, character-advancing follow-up to the X-Men’s most iconic storyline. 1/7
