I'm reading Claremont's Satana stories, and I have a hard time believing how involved in the occult Chris Claremont was in the 1970s. Who knew? Likely many X-fans are unaware but Claremont and his...

Ooooh, I never noticed that. Thank you, Jrnewto. But I wonder if that Greek island Kirinos was for a larger story, or just another location Claremont created that he used on occasion. Like Genosha,...

But you're right, Chris Claremont didn't much care for Bobby, Warren or Hank. His mission statement coming on the book was the Original X-Men were considered a failed book, and the focus was meant to...

Iceman didn't appear in the Dark Phoenix Saga because artist John Byrne couldn't draw him at the time, so that was the main reason he never appeared. Beast appeared so much during the late 1970s...

The Shadow War: Chris Claremont's Shadow King story, the one that began with Legion on Muir Island and was leading to Uncanny X-Men #300, was to be called the Shadow War.

Why is X-Factor ending? Are the sales low? It seems to be one of Marvel's most consistently good books, but they are cancelling it. Is it going to return with a new #1? I've been looking at the...

Marvel Age Preview had this to say about the Mutant Wars:

"X-Factor will play a pivotal role in this fall's "Mutant Wars", as the first salvo is fired leading to "Days of Future Past". Mutant...

The Mutant Wars:

This event was planned for fall 1990, by Louise Simonson and Chris Claremont. They had been laying the seeds for it in their books going back over a year. See "New Mutants #75"...

Thank you for that information. I hadn't heard that. I think Chris Claremont wanted to suggest the idea that Logan knew about Kitty Pryde and, what Claremont referred to as his "final fate for Kitty...

Read the issue. At the end of the issue, it says Paul Cornell has turned in an "epic outline". That sounds intriguing. I hope he's on the book, and this character, awhile.

That was a good review, Nosocialize100. And I like this talk of this being similiar to Claremont (might Paul Cornell be a Claremont fan?) I think I will give this first issue a try.

Doesn't today's generation know how to spell? LONG LIVE THE 80s....all you others of today's music can go to HELL. Go grab your crotches and wear your baggie pants and FUCK yourselves. I'm 42, drunk,...

Why did Republicans want to invade Iraq? It's interesting how many members of the Bush Administration were gas and oil men. Have you ever noticed?

Both Bushes. Cheney. Even Donald Rumsfield. The...

Anyone remember the TV show The Anti-Gravity Room? It aired in the 1990s on the Sci-Fi Channel, and the ENTIRE PROGRAM showcased the world of comic books. As I recall, it was hosted by 3 young people...

I was at my comics shop, A1 Comics, here in Sacramento and as I was looking through the X-Men back issue boxes, I find a copy of Uncanny X-Men #100 for only $6.00. That is SIX FREAKIN' Bucks for a...

I don't know, I liked the Factor Three storyline (#37-39) Also, the Super-Adaptoid issue, where it shows the Original 5 ice-skating and there is a lot of romance and angst, (#29).

The issue with...

Great work Limerick! I LOVE checking out these covers! Who knew the mutants appeared in so many titles in the freewheeling 70s! I thought they were unpopular.

The fourth issue of John Byrne's new series "Trio" said to be continued. I got the impression it was an ongoing book. but there's been no sing of it in months. And I looked through Previews and saw...

Thank you for the reply. Ahh, Bob Harras.

I hope Karen Berger goes to Image Comics and launches a new imprint there. I would try out every book she edits.

Mark Waid told a story when he was working for Marvel in the 1990s, he was talking with then-EIC Bob Harras, and Harras told him, "We see writer-driven comics as an experiment that's failed." ...

I've been reading this thread, and people have said "Karen Berger leaving has been coming for awhile now." What do you mean by that? Was there DC interference with Vertigo?

There is something sad when Bob Harras is Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics, while Chris Claremont can't get a job in the industry. Who has done more for comics? Certainly not Bob Harras.

I hear what you're saying. It is a series that grows on you. What I enjoy about The Manhattan Projects is how unpredictable it is. You don't know WHAT is going to happen, issue by issue. I keep...

FDR as a Computational A.I fighting against Nazi Werhner Von Braun. What isn't there to LOVE about this series?

Marvel Age Preview goes on to say, "The first salvo in the Mutant Wars will cross from X-Men to New Mutants to Excalibur to X-Factor for three months this fall. The action wil run in a tight...
