Countdown to the Labors of Magik
Day 7
In just three issues (UXM 171 & New Mutants 14,15) Claremont quickly established Illyana's relationship with Kitty. These issues show their mutual affection, acceptance and support while also hinting at something deeper.

Say what you will about X-Men Forever (2009), but Chris Claremont’s Jean is unparalleled. You can tell how much he loves her by how he writes and regards her. Under his pen, she is complex, conflicted, courageous, self-sacrificing, and powerful beyond measure.❤️‍🔥

Lund focuses on Claremont’s three main southern characters as case studies: Rogue, Cannonball, & Gambit, extrapolating on how each embodies Southern values and ideals, paying particular attention to scenes set in their respective home locales. 2/6

The level of self-awareness and self-mockery is clear. Claremont knows that he’s wordy (poor Tom), and that he’s at odds with an editorial direction that is seeking to expand the franchise beyond what Claremont sees as its natural capacity. 8/9

In a selected chapter for “Comics Studies: A Guidebook,” covering the very broad subject of “Superheroes,” scholar Marc Singer provides an account for the secret of Claremont’s success as writer of X-Men comics: representational metaphor. 1/6

From there, taken as a whole, the mutant books - Xmen, Xfactor, NM & Excaliber interrelated and interdependent move together and separately like a suprisingly well-oiled beast for the rest of the Claremont run. 9/10

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

Claremont only gives us three of the x-men’s sefirotic positions. would love to know more, but that way may lie the Twelve.

Rather than portraying a man desperate to return to action, Claremont portrayed Havok as a reluctant superhero who craved a simpler life in a few minor appearances in UXM. In MTU, however, we get the development of some key Havok character traits that would later define him. 3/6

In Marvel Team-Up 69-70 Claremont crafts a story that might be seen to bridge the gap between silver-age Havok and the Havok that Claremont would later bring back into the fold and cultivate to his greatest character depth in the pages of UXM. 1/6

Chris Claremont laid the groundwork for Kitty Pryde and Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler to develop one of the X-Men franchise’s most complex and sustained cross-gender friendships. 1/8

Through this simple intersection of symbols – amnesia as a state of becoming, Katie as the value of innocence, and Deathstrike as the lingering consequence of violent delights, Claremont & BWS, in just one issue, concretely defines who Logan is for the entirety of the run. 7/7
