Random C2E2 Chris Claremont Story Because I'm Bored: A Thread

When I got to meet Chris at C2E2, we ended up talking a bit about Mekanix because (surprise) I'm a huge fan of Karma.

He told me an interesting story about these 2 pages. (1/9)

Frank Miller and Chris Claremont's Wolverine mini-series was a game-changer. One of those rare works that continue to astound me, decades later.

As this example shows, the effects of such romance-based character-building choices (and how they manifest) are exceedingly complex (good, bad, complicated) and can be monumental to Claremont’s run and beyond. 5/5

One of the more interesting character questions in a group dynamic revolves around who gets to have a romantic/sexual side of their character developed and who does not. This question has had a particularly noteworthy effect on Claremont’s X-Men. 1/5

While Claremont is sometimes ridiculed for his inefficient prose, the efficiency of his character work is remarkable (and accelerated to new levels by Paul Smith art), with one issue establishing, resolving, or advancing a litany of character arcs operating simultaneously. 6/6

The Piotr/Illyana relationship is your average patronizing brother/sister dynamic on the surface, but through Illyana’s demonic transformation, Claremont adds a layer of irony and symbolism to create something unique and compelling. 1/5

The Frazetta horror style adds a great deal to the defining arc of Silvestri’s run (and possibly Claremont’s for that matter): Inferno, giving the hellish nightmare depicted a sense of spectacle that is genuinely hypnotic (even as it is terrifying), bordering on the sublime. 5/5

Claremont goes right at this, beginning with the X-Men encountering Hela and Kitty subsequently questioning her own mortality, while Wolverine expresses his comfort with the concept in its absolute certainty. 3/7

Of course Doug Ramsey aka Cypher would have to be the one to reference Star Trek TOS "The Menagerie"/"The Cage".

To say that Sam Guthrie/Cannonball is dense to Lila Cheney's intentions, is a understatement.

From New Mutants Annual by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod.

There’s a traditional logic that the more kids featured in a fantasy story, the more juvenile the story will be. This is usually not the case with Claremont's X-Men; quite the opposite, in fact. 4/4

Throughout the run, Claremont repeatedly uses children to weave a sense of vulnerability into his otherwise fantastic world. The surreal juxtaposition of these vulnerable kids with superhero fantasy helps to ground the world and give weight to the violence within it. 1/4
