Views on Joe Casey's Uncanny run

[baltiroo]

Casey's run was technically more pointless than Milligan's, but Milligan's run was shit awful in just about every conceivable manner.

Too true. I had gotten out of comics about a half year before Casey came onboard and when I got back in, I was thoroughly shocked with the first part of his run. And the 400 milestone seemed to be treated like a joke. I thought the back half of his run was great, the X-Corps and Gen X reunion were both good. It's a shame that they replaced him so abruptly with Austen (who's run has a lot of disappointment for me).

Is there a good resource that lists all the major X-books writers tenures?

milligan's run was the worst

bologna. Absolute bologna.

Thank you for using the proper spelling!

I agree that Milligan's run was awesome too. I realized that the most awful parts of Austen's run were usually things involving Nightcrawler (Holy War, The Draco), so perhaps it would've been better if Claremont had scooped up Kurt for X-Treme.

Agreed. Honestly, what was there to complain about?

also I always heard rumors that he was junked up during his run. If its true ,well of course he's not gonna have fond memories of his work back then...

I'd be fond of those memories. But my question pertained to those who have problems with his run, not his subjective memories of it.

Says who? People who listened to Nancy when she screeched out "Just Say No!"?

Drugs don't necessarily hinder the artistic output...

[jawbreaker]

yes his output may have been great but who knows what other stuff he was going through at the time...anyway Im just suggesting it as a reason to why he seems so down on his run. He should be proud of it...

[Washout]

Morrison, Casey, Milligan, Carey, and Gillen are the modern X-writers. As far as I'm concerned no other run occurred aside from anything Claremont.

Drugs don't necessarily hinder the artistic output...

Grant Morrison regularly imbibes very potent hallucinogens, and experimented with hard drugs in his earlier days. Now look at him, he has a house in Los Angeles and one in Glasgow, he is going soon to Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel to have his own personal Morrisoncon with other creators he has invited, and he has written some of the deepest, most controversial, yet wholly paradigm altering works ever printed. He is also the nicest guy you could ever meet, as I have yet to hear creators, artists, or fans say otherwise.

Florence Welch gets shitfaced drunk when she writes her songs. She freely and unashamedly admitted it in an interview on Chelsey Lately some time ago.

Just read Joe Casey's interview. (1) He didn't care about the characters and (2) he only wrote UXM as a career move. Seriously? Why would you ever admit this? I guess he's just one honest dude. But saying stuff like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's basically saying that he didn't care. That's an exaggeration, but it was my initial reaction.

I didn't care for the crap he wrote so we're even

Why would he have to care? Writing's a job. Not everything you do for a paycheck can be a passion. The readers are the ones who are supposed to enjoy it. IIRC, Austen loved what he did and look at how that turned out.

Highly underated. I wish he wrote it a little longer. I might be bias since X-corps was my first comic.
