It’s a dynamic narrative strategy, employed years before it was made famous in “The Empire Strikes Back,” and one that Claremont goes to quite often, presumably because it works. 5/5

We see this approach in key characters such as Cyclops/Havok, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Rachel, Legion, and Rogue. In all instances Claremont uses the reader’s sense of family separation to generate both character sympathy and intense narrative anticipation. 2/5

...and the government's attack. Claremont is juggling a lot of plates right now but as quickly as this arc of the books has taken a turn toward the mystical, the threat of mutantkind's full persecution looms not far off in the distance.

Rather than her trauma, Rachel is best...

The psychic backlash as Rachel learns of her mother's death–she just heard her voice on the phone after all (good accidental retcon seed Claremont!)–knocks all the assembled X-Men to the floor, and it is no longer deniable that Rachel has returned to the "wrong" past.

During a standard Claremontian intermission, ship captain and Cyclops-grief-fling Aleytys "Lee" Forrester saves Magneto from a shark.

That's it. That's the tweet.

...Illyana arrives on scene, finally revealing herself before the team as the mutant-sorceress we've come to love and fear.

The strength of Claremont's pen on both books (and later, his collaboration with Weezie) means that his characters' arcs aren't interrupted across books...

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: 1/3

...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 "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
