I believe so.

This will be a, "What if?" comic.

What if, Claremont had not left the X-Men.

Because nothing in this comic will be canon.

Well it sounds interesting, so i might give it a read.

So anyone else gonna be reading this comic??

Nope, looks like crap.

Are you sure this is out, because i went to a couple of comic places and not one had it.

Notice the Alpha part?

Hell no, I wouldn't go near anything with the name Claremont these days.

What's wrong with Chris Claremont??? I thought the first three issues of X-men were good.

Also i just realized its a good thing i didnt get Alpha because it is just a reprint of the first three issues, which i already have.

I think his dialogue is very outdated even back then. I re-read those issues and the dialogue was horrendous. I believe his lez & fishnet fetishes are what ruined Uncanny X-Men, Exiles, Excalibur etc... CC is also the reason why the X-Men remained stagnant pre-2000's. It's also the reason why UXM suffers under every writer that writes it, they've been stuck in a rut for so long that there's little to no leg room. Only characters that have been allowed to evolve are usable. Granted he has done a lot for the X-line but it was a mistake to give the franchise to one writer whose plots are recycled over and over again. I don't think I can take are one of his pet characters being possessed again.

Now current Claremont is even worse, and quite forgetful of continuity things he established an issue or two back.

so anyone read the first issue?

I read the issue... decent.. I will post some scans later

as promised...

i doubt it

This issue is certainly colorful. Definitely old school looks. Can't Cyke just look down and bounce his beam back at red head?

I enjoyed it.

Classic Rogue = automatic win droolio

I like that a new issue comes out every 2 weeks, most comics i collect usually only come out once a month and there are some that come out every two months which i find annoying.

second issue was ok...

Yeah. I enjoyed it, too.

What about that missing claw? Didn't Logan lose it in the first issue when Cortez was draining him and Pryde tried to make him intangible?

i noticed the first two scans were from x-force, also i cant believe they did that to wolverine, its only the 2nd issue, the wolverine fans who are reading it must be really pissed.

sorry about the mishap, i was doing 5 things at once...

Looks like Sabertooth is related to Wolverine, since he keeps refering to him as "the boy".

It's more than possible in this universe.


Did Logan lose his claw here?

That looks like it could be a possibility.

Action wise nothing happened, but i think this issue explained some stuff about being a mutant, kind of glad they didnt go with this storyline now back in the 90s.

thx Mark

your welcome sweet lady

Will Creed eventually grow new eyes? What do you think?

yes i think he will grow new eyes.

It would be a decent feat... considering that this Sabretooth didn't receive any upgrades and there were no retcons, like Loeb's one (Creed reattaching his hand in the first encounter with Logan).

This series reads like toilet paper.

How so ?

How so ? Well, its claimed that this story picks up where he left off. supposedly with X-men number 3. But honestly it seems more like it starts off something new, that forgets everything that went on before, even of his own work. How easily they accepted Sabertooth into the ranks, the convoluted bit with the two storms and the whole Mutant powers burn out when they're 65. Not to mention how small the world feels, like where are the other characters that were around at the time? And why is Kitty there? At the time Claremont stopped she was off with Excalibur.

For some of those things you mentioned such as the two storms i'm sure it will be revealed.

Well that's typical Claremont though. If he can't remember what he did one issue ago (See his recent Uncanny and Exiles run regarding Psylockes powers) I don't expect him to remember what he did decades ago. Heck I'm told that his Forever issues aren't even coherent apparently Storm got her eye cut by Kitty and the following issue it's just her forehead.

Claremont has always shoe-horned and warped characters to fit certain roles, 'twas one of Byrnes biggest problems with him when they worked together. Byrne had to constantly remind him what happened issues ago.

And finally Claremonts dialogue always reads like toilet paper.

You've missed a few issues Bruce.

i guess BS finally realized this series is not that good.

Na i talked to him a while back he's still getting it

as for the series i reakon Claremont is doing good with it now compared to when he first started it off.
