Wow,
I thought the movie was good. I loved the character Madmartigan. This book was plodding and slow. By the time I got to the part about madmartigan (spoiler) dying, I was shocked. I actually threw the book in the recycle bin. A first for me. When I saw my boyfriend had this series on his bookshelf, I threw his in the recycle bin too. (Turns out they were a gift, and I don't think he has... more

By: Chris Claremont
Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 01, 2009
Wolverine is taken for granted today, but back when this comic mini-series came out he wasn't guest-starring in every book and little was known of the character's history. This storyline put in place many of the elements that still survive today. Not only that, it made the character interesting to those who had no interest in him before.
Claremont and Miller are at the top of their games... more

| 3. Marvel Visionaries - Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men) |
|
By: Chris Claremont
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 21, 2005
Marvel's line of hardcover Marvel Visionaries books seem like a good idea, but there are a few that while they display the highlighted author's talents, they are poorly assembled. This hardcover TPB, which focuses on legendary X-Men scribe Chris Claremont, is sadly misassembled thanks to only featuring single issues of his various runs on different series' instead of full storyarcs, which really doesn't... more

I read this series out of respect for his Marvel Comics work (was big into comic books at the time). And Lord, I mean Lord, did I regret it. The dialogue especially left deep emotional scars... more

| 6. X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga |
|
By: Chris Claremont, John Byrne
Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 26, 2006
I started reading comics in 1973, but it wasn't until I read Uncanny X-Men #129 that I started regularly collecting a title. In "The Dark Phoenix Saga", Chris Claremont and John Byrne brought years of subtle, creeping continuity to a head for Marvel's team of mutants, and the conclusion in issue #137 filled me with two things I'd never experienced from a comic: astonishment and loss. To this day... more

By: Chris Claremont, John Byrne
Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 19, 2006
...which only lasted three whole issues.
By 1991, the X-Men franchise had exploded into heights undreamed of and a second X-Men title was launched, selling a record (that still holds up today) of 8 million copies of its first issue sold.
Unfortunately, it was Claremont's last hurrah (at the time) as THE mutant scribe as editorial edict seemed to favor more input from the artist over the... more

| 9. First Flight |
|
By: Chris Claremont
Publisher: Ace
December 01, 1987
Chris Claremont cut his writing teeth writing X-Men for Marvel Comics. He was a fan favorite in that medium, and much of the X-Men's popularity was due, in no small part, to his work on the titles back in the late 1980's & early 1990's.
HOWEVER, in my opinion, Mr. Claremont didn't do nearly as well when he tried to cross over into writing science fiction novels.

Publisher: Marvel Comics
December 19, 2007
Great old school classic X-men. Written and drawn with great skill that brings you back to the times when the X-men stories were the best. I first read this in 1990 when I borrowed it from my friend. I was blown away and read it many times. Now almost 20 years later, I went and bought it and it is still a good read . ... more
