The X-Men cinematic trilogy had a number of ups and downs but in the eyes of scholar Desmond White the adaptation of Cyclops was definitely a down where the character elements Claremont & others had built up in Cyclops failed to come across on the big screen: #xmen 1/3

@ClaremontRun Claremont-written Storm is not only the best Storm, but possibly the best X-Man...

...himself ultimately responsible for Ororo's transformation, isn't lost on me.

As I said earlier, the synergy between Ororo, Forge, Rogue, and the Dire Wraiths just *works* in this issue–a testament to Claremont's skill as a writer and a sign of how much his skill has grown...

...that the Dire Wraiths pose opposite Ororo's power–and identity–loss works pretty seamlessly in the issue.

I can't help but wonder if Claremont used any mandate to include the Wraith War in his storytelling as a source of inspiration for Ororo's depowering, or if this is...

Good afternoon, everyone! Another day, another issue of Uncanny X-Men with a compulsory Wraith appearance!

Today, we're reading UXM #187, "Wraithkill", the latest installation of the Claremont Run's crossover with the wider, company-wide event, the Wraith War.

Compared to...

The Dire Wraith's horror IS their ability to fully steal the life of others...

...but even so, I wish Claremont and Windsor-Smith had been allowed to treat LifeDeath as a story independent of the aliens' wider consequences for the line and, more specifically, our Uncanny X-Men.

As a writer of a popular mass media narrative, Claremont was certainly in a position to either subvert or contribute to a broad cultural understanding of sexual violence against women (and men, of course, but not nearly so commonly). 4/10

A rape culture is one in which sexual violence is normalized through an extensive series of sociological practices. The term emerges from 2nd wave feminist discourse of the 1970s (a field that Claremont has shown extensive familiarity with). 3/10

Very similar feeling to when I 1st read Claremont's X-Men run. I knew of the characters and big moments, but assumed they happened much later. After TMNT Adv. 8, we already met Ray & Wingnut, and Ace Duck, Stump, Cudley and Cryin' Houn' at the intergalactic wrestling circuit.

Casting Selene in dark, blood red shadows, Romita Jr., Green, and Wein really give the ancient mutant an air of truly sinister power, perhaps the most dangerous foe the mutants have faced since the Phoenix.

Fleeing from Selene, Rachel hides in a night club, where Claremont...

...suspects herself to be evil at her core. The attention to her ongoing struggle–tortured, but quieter than Logan's self-torment, for example–is some of Claremont's best emotional work, and at the core of why Magik will always be my favorite character.

(Also: Shut up, Rahne!)

...to permanently transfigure the otherwise white Tom Corsi and Sharon Friedlander's transfiguration into Indigenous forms.

It–and the other examples of Claremont's seeming fascination with non-consensual body alternation and race swapping–are among the rare parts of his Run...

...Claremont heading toward the peak of his writing prowess on the Run.

Parallel to the issues of Uncanny X-Men we've been reading that focus more on the quiet, emotional moments the team lives through in between battles, the New Mutants book has also trended toward...

Transported to the Savage Land, Claremont and Silvestri portray a very Frazetta-like world with Zaladane vamping it up appropriately in high heels, sitting on her throne with her preposterously coiffed hair and ordering around her army of monstrous minions. 6/11

In UXM #250-251, Claremont provides Havok the opportunity to fulfill his apprenticeship of Wolverine by placing him (in Logan’s absence) into a supremely hypermasculine fantasy role. The results go pretty terribly, thus forming a subversion of masculinity as a concept. #xmen 1/11

Though Claremont did not create Lady Deathstrike, his contributions to the cultivation of the character are quite notable, leading to a powerful villainess with a nuanced combination of malice and nobility, thus forming a worthy foe to Wolverine. #xmen 1/11

Here, Mariko is allowed to be more than dutiful, but is instead a woman keenly aware she's operating in the world of men.

In a lot of ways, her speech to Amiko about the "performance" of power echoes the ethos of Emma Frost, and Mariko finally feels like a "Claremont dame".

In it's latter half, I started to worry that (much like @olevelo) the limited series would have been better served truncated to four issues, as if Claremont had run out of story and was straining to draw out its length for six issues.

But KP&W #5 dispels that concern, as...

Claremont’s X-Men operate in a similar way – constantly expressing a lack of interior confidence and routinely questioning their own capacity to even function as superheroes. Whole pages are filled, at times, with self-condemning internal monologues in the vein of Hamlet. 4/9
