Hugs in Claremont's UXM. Maybe more cute than informative, but we could argue that physical affection is an expression of characterization.

Speaking of Uncanny X-Men I love this panel. Early period Claremont would have spelled it all out for us with a soliloquy, but here he holds back a liiiitle bit with implication and it’s heart-wrenching AND the panel still has six thought bubbles

You can tell this project is rotting my brain because I'm kind of excited about a Son of Satan vs. Satana story by Chris Claremont. (Marvel Spotlight Sal Buscema & Bob McLeod on art - proto-New Mutants team!)

“The phrase ‘see attached bibliography’ is the single sexiest thing you’ve ever written to me”

I haven’t even finished the book yet but I’m absolutely obsessed with these two dorks.

The point is that Claremont is building narrative tension and character development out of a longing for parental reconciliation that may have universal symbolic resonance (who doesn’t crave their parents love and approval?) but with specific value to the queer metaphor. 6/6

While Claremont is sometimes ridiculed for his inefficient prose, the efficiency of his character work is genuinely remarkable, with one issue establishing, resolving, or advancing a litany of character arcs operating simultaneously. 6/6

Simonson’s run on Thor stands out for the same reason that Claremont’s run on UXM does: narrative propulsion. Both narratives were willing to break established status quo and tell cumulative stories driven by change (rather than eschewing it altogether). 6/6

Speaking with John B. Cooke for Comic Book Artist Issue Simonson describes how the approach of Claremont (and others) inspired his own groundbreaking run on Thor and the decision to push the narrative in new directions: 2/6

think it should've had even MORE tension!!!! and that's not just opinion, it's fact, because the original comic it was harkening back to, chris claremont's uncanny was super super flirty LOL

His initial role in the first escape attempt also shows him forcing himself on a female guard with a non-consensual kiss, another key character attribute with some villain-shading, though that’s not always clear in the context of Claremont’s writing (it happens a lot). 5/7

I had no idea, until recently, that Saphire Stixx has existed since 1988. The typical vampire mutant villain from Claremont (Rogue, Selene, etc).

One of Claremont’s goto strategies for character-building revolves around creating conflict out of character dualities in which their superpowers put them at odds with their personal goals and ambitions, ultimately distancing them from their own sense of humanity. 1/7

I've been enjoying the new so much that I dug out an old I did of era in her classic outfit from the years and gave it the digital once over.
I am LIVING for Emma, Raven and Irene. So badass

What? Doesn't everyone send their professor honeymoon photos like this?

If this accounts for the narrator’s development, why Claremont applied the Iron Fist narration style to X-Men is a fun question to ask: was he trying it out in a new arena or did he simply slip in the division of his stylistic approaches while writing concurrent titles? 6/6

In “The Tao of Women in the X-Men World,” scholar Carol Cooper draws in psychosexual theory to help explore the infamous sexual subtext of Claremont’s writings, with particular emphasis on the concept of sublimation. 1/9

“I’m sorry you couldn’t pick up on all the hints that I was gay and trans before, mom, but like—you gotta understand…

Chris Claremont was writing my arc back then and he REALLY did try his best to make it clear but editorial would only let him do SO much!” 😁
