X-Men - Part 3

[CConn]

Yes, I agree.

But have you ever heard anyone say "Michael Jordan...SO not a favorite of mine"?

No. Because he had 15 years of awesome.

 

[javi1024]

But he didn't keep playing 10-15 more years saying "Watch, I still got it!". He played like 2 games for the Wizards and was like "Yeah, I'm done for real this time."

Also, for someone to say Claremont isn't a favorite of theirs they most likely never read his 70s-80s X-Men and doesn't realize what he contributed to the franchise, or straight up didn't like him to begin with. I say the same thing about Morrison all the time.

I think you're having a different conversation than I am. I already said I agree with you.

Now that makes sense.

Shame on you for Morrison, though.

 

[javi1024]

I can see his good ideas, I enjoy an issue every now and then, but no I don't like his writing style.

 

[chamber-music]

I guess you've never read The Authority or anything by Millar for that matter.

yeah I've read both t: I forgot about those guy

 

[CConn]

I can see his good ideas, I enjoy an issue every now and then, but no I don't like his writing style.

His writi style has changed multiple times throughout his career, though.

 

[runawayboulder]

He also did some great work on Marvel Team-Up vol 1 and Marvel Tales, doing a lot of good stories involving Spider-Man.

 

[roach]

Claremont is a guilty pleasure of mine...I'll read anything he writes

 

[javi1024]

His writi style has changed multiple times throughout his career, though.

He's written all three of my favorite characters: X-Men, Batman, and Spider-Man. As a whole I didn't like either of his runs on the first two. I didn't even know he touched the last until reading runaway's post just now, and knowing doesn't make interested in the slightest or for anything else he's done for that matter.

 

[roach]

whhaaaaaat.....i understand not liking his later runs but Claremont's first run on X-men is legendary

 

[Anubis]

Eh, I don't particularly like the X-Men in general.

You may have me confused. I'm referring to Grant Morrison.

 

[roach]

my bad...we cool right??

 

[javi1024]

Like Andre 3000

Batman and Robin was incredible. As was All-Star Superman, JLA, Animal Man, We3, Seven Soldiers, The Invisibles and now Action Comics.

I liked Action for about 3 issues then I dropped it. To each his own.

Maybe half of Seven Soldiers was good.

 

[CConn]

I liked Action for about 3 issues then I dropped it. To each his own.

Because that fourth issue was really different than the previous three.

 

[javi1024]

I slowly lost interest. I liked the first and seeing the interrogation in the second, then I started losing interest after that. By the time they explored his origin and that piece in the end with the future Superman and whoever he was with I just didn't care. Plus I'm not a big Supes fan to begin with.

 

[runawayboulder]

I wish he would come back to Marvel.

Part of it was but it was consistently great for that entire stint. I didn't the book all that interesting for a long stretch of the mid to late 80s

everytime someone insults Claremont, somewhere a mutie dies.

I'm pretty sure Joe Q and Bendis killed more mutants than we did.

"Claremont Loves, Fans Kill"

Thats because they have the legacy virus and are highly infectious
