More importantly, the toll of injury becomes far more meaningful when you know a three panel battle sequence could take your favorite character out of the book for a year and a half. Thus Claremont ups the stakes dramatically, adding weight and gravity to his fight sequences. 5/5

Claremont’s roster has various characters out for certain issues or even for extensive runs. This creates gaps in the lineup, allowing Claremont to try-out, debut or cultivate other members, a process that has resulted in multiple enduring characters taking off. 4/5

While the impact of death in comics has been much discussed, long-term injury and rehabilitation has not, despite having similar effects on character, plot and setting. Predictably, this is something Claremont does very well. 1/5

Her character arc then becomes a story of self-definition in the absence of these external forces. By the end of her time in UXM, she is lost completely and utterly, but finds herself again in Claremont’s Excalibur, reborn (because Phoenix) as a confident and assertive hero. 4/4

In UXM Storm is the one who correctly identifies what erases all traces of the Morlocks from the tunnels and is horrified by the possibility that she is somehow responsible (such a devastating moment courtesy of Claremont & Davis)

Panel 58: And people say *Claremont's* work is filled with sexual imagery and undertones! Bollocks! -

The nom de plume could perhaps be connected to the unusual narrative strategy that Claremont undertakes: writing the story entirely within the narrative voice of Jubilee herself – a difficult ask of a middle-aged male author. 3/11

I'm tempted to say that this is very consistent for bryne but its actually claremont who's the writer here and im not familiar with his... preferences. so I can't say for sure.

I think Chris Claremont dies if he doesn't have Magneto hug kids for too long

Byrne’s vision ended up being fairly close to what Claremont, Windsor-Smith and later writers (especially in “Wolverine: Origin”) would eventually piece together as Logan’s canonical back-story, with, of course, some important variations. 4/7

In New Mutants Claremont (again) opens with a simple danger room sequence that expertly conveys the fundamental insecurities that define Sam Guthrie’s character arc over the course of the series. 1/8

Claremont’s Rogue is deeply troubled, uncertain of whether she wants to be a hero or a villain, actively suppressing intense anger, and even suicidal at times. Of course, sharing mental space with Carol only enhances the metaphor as a symbol of fear of letting people in. 4/8

Mildly amusing anecdote: just ran a spell-check on my 57,000 word manuscript on Claremont's UXM and freaked out when it flagged 500 spelling errors. Turns out 10 of them were mine - the majority were from the quotations I'd included that feature C's phonetic dialogue and accents.
