In 2008, following his run on New Excalibur, legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont set his sights on revamping another franchise with New Exiles Alongside artists including Tom Grummett and later Tim Seeley, Claremont replaced the previous volume's Exiles with a new team of mostly X-Men characters and kicked off new capers for 18 glorious issues[...]

Cebulski (@CBCebulski) June 18, 2018 It may not have taken the power of the Infinity Stones to do it, but this has actually happened before, in an alternate-continuity series from 2009. In X-Men Forever, Chris Claremont returned to his legendary run on the X-Men, picking up after the events of 1991's X-Men #3 With collaborators such as Tom Grummet, Paul Smith, Terry Austin, and[...]

But it's not the first time it's been done in a Marvel comic book, even if it did happen out of main universe continuity. In X-Men Forever, Chris Claremont returned to his legendary run on the X-Men, picking up after the events of 1991's X-Men #3 With collaborators such as Tom Grummet, Paul Smith, Terry Austin,[...]

As revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, the world's greatest living comic book writer Chris Claremont will return to the X-Men once again to pen Magneto's X-Men Black one-shot alongside artist Dalibor Talajic And in Marvel's October solicitations, revealed earlier today, Marvel hammers home the point, advertising: "MAGNETO IS BACK! …and so is Chris Claremont!" Claremont hasn't technically[...]

No one of the stories is especially bad, but only one of the three stands out as definitively good. The legendary Chris Claremont pens the opening Kitty Pryde-centric story His love for the character shows through — as does his tendency towards verbosity This story is loaded down with text No one part of it is[...]

On a blustery April afternoon in Sacramento, California, a single day convention event (SacCon) housed some Marvel Comics royalty: Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson. Claremont is responsible for some of the most badass women in Marvel comics (okay, and comics in general); placing Storm as head of the X-Men team (X-Men #94), introducing Kitty Pryde (X-Men #129), Rogue,[...]

When they do it, they should reboot it as a weekly series with a creative team led by the great Chris Claremont, working with the multiple creators that otherwise would be dedicated to the multiple ongoing core X-Books Marvel publishes on a regular basis. But Jude Terror, you say You've spent years complaining about super-mega-crossover events,[...]

How rude! Perhaps most surprising of all though is that the comic will feature a story by the legendary Chris Claremont, who Marvel has been paying to sit on the sidelines for reasons we've never been able to understand. The press release, titled "Shocks and Surprises in The X-MEN WEDDING SPECIAL!" explains: It's almost time for Kitty[...]

But to avoid deconstructing, questioning, analyzing, or even discussing the implications of superhero comics or the world around us through the medium of superhero comics is a horrifically restrictive and myopic way of looking at your preferred medium. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills by Brent Anderson Many of the best-remembered creators, like Alan Moore, Len Wein, Grant[...]

Instead, I got treated to a surprise in the form of a live episode of the podcast Jay & Miles X-Plain The X-Men, featuring guests Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson.

It's a shame they never explored these two after that movie, and instead we wound up with uh, Batnipples. 4) Mystique and Destiny: While the two never came right out as lovers when Chris Claremont first created Destiny, that was his intention However the Comics Code prohibited writing openly gay characters While today is much different, Claremont[...]

We know that Fox is making a New Mutants movie directed by Josh Boone, but we haven't had much other concrete info about the film… until now! ComingSoon obtained a storyboard animatic which they claim is from the movie, and if so, it may reveal the film's villain: Demon Bear. Created by paid-to-not-write-anything-by-Marvel Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz,[...]

By Josh Hechinger Welcome to From Strip to Script, where I take a page of finished comic art and try to derive a script from it, to see what I can learn from the exercise. I've tried to avoid doing the same series twice in this column, just because there's eighty-million-gajillion-and-five comic books out there, and that[...]
