Nonetheless, the fact that Claremont’s departure is followed by an instantaneous and pervasive absence of female voices in the series is obviously condemning. 8/9

The drawings show figures of the people Princess Victoria encountered while staying in Ramsgate and then Claremont House, from November 1836 to January 1837, including sailors and a family of Travellers.

The more I study clouds the more like landscapes they become.

Columns and canyons, levels and layers, drifts and waterfalls… they are all there when you look closely.

Modern Computer Comics people drawing characters all the same size then just shrinking them if they're in the distance means we rarely get nice things like Tiny Wolverine here these days (Uncanny X-Men 258, Claremont/Lee/Williams/Oliver/Orzechowski)

The villains had gotten a bit generic in the waning arcs of Claremont’s run, coinciding with a change in editorial direction and artist-input. Where C had injected nuance to UXM villains from very early-on, the last few stories featured wall-to-wall evil megalomaniacs. 4/8

Tonight I move onto the first non-Claremont of my X-Men tpb reread and it'll be nice to have a break from the Kitty Pryde Show

Claremont portrays Rahne Sinclair as a small child with big emotions and very little capacity to express them as a result of a traumatic upbringing. In New Mutants Claremont uses Rahne’s reunion with Moira to showcase this dynamic. 1/11

[1]Taking advantage of the Marauders by , I'm going to make a spotlight on Aurora, created by Claremont/Byrne, first appearing in Uncanny X-men 120 (Jan/1979). She is introduced as a canadian mutant, teacher and Northstar's twin sister.

That parallel informs the scene, leading the reader to hope for a similar hail mary – 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 the Dark Phoenix Saga, the X-Men find themselves fighting 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

Definitely up there…damn there’s a lot of great iconic ones in the Wein/Claremont/Cockrun/Byrne era though.

These 4 (and about 10 others) come to mind as rivals for most iconic! Great era!

While Claremont’s “method writing” approach is well-known and well-discussed, his partner on Excalibur, Alan Davis, is on record in interview as taking a similar approach to his figure drawing, offering an explanation to the enduring poignancy of their collaboration. 1/5

In UXM Claremont gives Rogue a hero’s send-off, bringing the character’s arc full-circle in his long tenure writing her by presenting her – literally and symbolically - as someone who intuitively lives the mantle of Ms. Marvel before facing her own destruction 1/12

The third is “Huntsman” who Claremont describes as “ultimate teacher – show pix or any possession/article of clothing of prey, he can find ‘em – combination of physical & psychic skills.” 4/6

Claremont did not create Longshot. Instead, right when Kurt would be departing the team (the two characters overlapped for just one annual), Claremont imported Longshot from a titular miniseries by Ann Nocenti and Art Adams that had failed to produce an ongoing. 3/10
