X-Men Forever #1

quote:
X-Men Forever #1
From: Marvel
Writer: Chris Claremont
Art: Tom Grummett and Cory Hamscher
Review by Troy Brownfield; additional research by David Pepose

Let’s start then with the intent: the idea here is that Chris Claremont, who helmed the X-Men for 17 years and left after the third issue of gazillion-selling adjectiveless X-Men, gets to pick up where he originally left off. That book launched in summer of 1991, along with X-Force, which had kicked off two months prior. This was all prior to the launch of the X-Men animated series. I’ll add here that I was quite the X-fan growing up, and that I’ve always at least kept an eye on the books, even if I wasn’t actively reading them. In that era, I was.

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.

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I think his dialogue is very outdated even back then.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.
