Operating for nearly 5 years, the website combines archival information, issue summaries/reviews, a podcast, essays, interviews, opinion pieces, and even an X-Men issue ranking system (with Claremont stories occupying 5 of the top 10, including 1 & 2, just FYI). 2/3

5-A la altura del nº 20, la serie bimensual de Love & Rockets había acumulado prestigio, y era alabada por Claremont o Alan Moore. Esta portada es un abultado catálogo de personajes de la serie que transmite felicidad. En el interior: la vida misma abriéndose camino a hachazos.

Cómics viejunos de mi trastero. No recordaba que los tenía. Sobre todo ese Ms.Marvel de Claremont del 79. De Mundi Cómics, el subsello de Vértice que editaba los cómics de Marvel en España en la época

In this sense, Claremont had a major advantage over other Wolverine writers, in that Logan's power was new to readers and had not yet overaccelerated (leaving writers with nowhere to go and a character who cannot credibly be considered to be in any danger at most any point.) 6/7

Wolverine’s first interaction with Gambit is a fight. In a simple 3-page sequence, Claremont establishes a dynamic animosity between the two brawlers, a generational conflict between old guard and new, and a tension between nostalgic loyalties and more recent bonds. 1/8

I do wonder how differently classic comics would've been if Sunfire had been more of a team player and active member. An Asian male superhero in a major comic would've been legendary, especially in Claremont's run, but we didn't get to see that.

From there, Claremont establishes Betsy as a 100% valid and legitimate hero – if anything, she’s seen to have an excess of the heroic spirit, and the character is then able to move beyond a rough turn in her history to become an elite Marvel superhero. 7/7

Alex, however, resists, questioning the logic, at which point we see Psylocke’s butterfly flare activate, clearly indicating that she is manipulating him telepathically (thus crossing a big moral boundary throughout Claremont’s run). 5/7

A fun scorecard on Psylocke during the Claremont run (pooled from our data sets): she personally instigates 8 fights; she never (at any point) expresses a reluctance to fight; she does not shed a tear; and she kills more people on-panel than any other X-Man.

In UXM 142, Claremont uses Storm’s relationship with Wolverine to validate Ororo’s new role as the leader of the X-Men at a time when no female superhero had ever been appointed the leader of a mainstream superhero team. The result is a character-defining scene. 1/5

Apparently, Claremont wasn't a fan of this storyline. I like it, but probably because they were the earliest issues in the Uncanny run I picked up at the time. Maybe that's it -- nobody else wanted them and they were just easier to find.

Claremont’s approach: “The first rule is find the story to tell or the arc to tell. You think in terms of a story that either derives from the character or illuminates character. With an ongoing you can just throw the ball in the air and see what intrigues you.” 1/4
