[Stephane Garrelie]

God Loves, Man Kills by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson

The Claremont/Byrne/Austin run

The Brood saga by Claremont/Dave Cockrum and Paul Smith.

The Claremont/Paul Smith issues (Most of all the Wolverine and Rogue story against Viper and the Silver Samurai in Japan.)

The Claremont/Romita Jr/Dan Green run

The X-men and The Micronautes.

All the other issues writen by Claremont excepted the "revolution" run from 2000.

The Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run

The Roy Thomas/Neal Adams run.

E is for Extinction, the first arc by Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly.

Astonishing X-men 1-6 (7 and 8 are ok too, sadly the second arc became crap with issue 9)

Must read that have not "X-men" in the title:

Wolverine mini serie by Claremont and Frank Miller

New Mutants by Claremont and Sienkievikz + the Original Graphic Novel By Claremont and Bob McLeod.

But you're basically saying there wasn't anything good during the last 13 years. And while I'm not gonna say it was the peak of the characters greatness, there are a lot of good stories in there. The lead up to Onslaught was good, the pay off wasn't that great, but the lead up was good. Operation Zero tolerance started strong, but got a crappy ending. E for extinction was good, Austen's Hope storyline and his story where Northstar joins we're good as well. X-Treme X-Men was good in parts. there we're a lot of good stories that have happened, just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they don't exist.
