"If anyone wants to come and debate some interesting story points with me at San Diego Comic-Con this summer, you'll have three issues of 'X-Men Forever 2' to argue about, and they'll be exciting," "We will definitely get some people pissed off - or thrilled.

Beyonce voice "Youve been very bad Mister Claremont.
Bad.
Bad."

Human Kurt FTW


Seriously, good interview. Looking forward to the second season.

"The style of her appearance is very reminiscent of Japanese [culture]," said Claremont. "Her hair is Japanese. She's wearing Japanese style boots. There's definitely an evolution going on. There is still some potential between Kitty and Gambit [as a relationship]. Ro is all for it. She thinks Kitty and Gambit is perfect."

So Kitty is turning Japanese and banging Gambit.

So Kitty is turning Japanese.

the vapors, really think so



No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
That's why I'm turning Japanese

Cripes. Gambit's not only stolen Pete Wisdom's look, he's stolen his schtick as well.

I bought the first 4 or maybe 5 issues and then lost interest, but I kept it on my Pull List, that was until about the Magik storyline. I always intended to go back and buy the issues, but they kept getting shoved to the bottom of my priority list! I guess now that the story has gotten so good, I'm gonna have to force myself to purchase all the issues I've missed! I want to read about Slutty Jean!! And Human Kurt sounds like the shizznit!! And that Avengers preview art looked bangin!!!! Can't wait til friday, I'm gonna blow some dough on some back issues of X-Men Fo(rever)!!

Is this the story about how he totally forgot what he'd written not just on the X-books, ever, but like even what he wrote last month?


My point being... this is NOT the story he planned 20 years ago, and it would be good to stop pretending it is.

[AstonishingXMan]

Hideous costumes, uninteresting plot, cliche dialogue, and rather bland artwork.

No thanks! I'll pass on Claremont's latest fail.

So- Rogue is blue and Furry, and kurt is normal now? Wonder what he looks like?

[MNM]

It's clear Claremont ran out of good ideas long ago.

[NewMutant]

I really do love Claremont. I hated his Revolution run. But I loved his X-Treme and aside from "On Ice" his Uncanny was decent too. I want to pick this up, but I don't really have money for alternate reality stuff.

The art is ok, but I really dislike the costume designs. And I have trouble looking past the fact that this doesn't actually pick up after X-Men #3, it just starts around when Claremont was leaving and changes things that happened even before he left.

And seriously what was the point of changing Remy's last name to Picard?

[Majinoaw]

I'm all for the Return of Mr. Sinister/Claremont's version of him anyway.
Sinister was one of the greatest X-Villians until Inferno ended. Then he kinda came back and really didn't do much until Messiah Complex.

Isn't it obvious? He's captain Jean Luc Picard's Ancestor.
