I don't care what anyone says about Claremont. He has never written an x-book i haven't enjoyed or purchased. I know this post might be deleted and i'm cool with that i just never make main posts and wanted to thank the man. Nightcrawler #7 is the best X-MEN book i have read in years and i'm not the biggest nightcrawler fan. So once again hats off to you Mr. Claremont, i got into comics when i was little because of the X-men cartoon and Storm is my fave character but man this book was gold.

Christ Claremont?
You clearly weren't kidding when you said you owe him gratitude. (Sorry. I know it's a misspelling, but I couldn't resist.)

He's had more good than bad, but he's had bad. Try "Sovereign Seven" or his Exiles run. Then again, I'd challenge anyone to write as long as he has as often as he has and not have some stinkers.

I agree with this. I got into comics and grew to appreciate this medium thanks to Mr Claremont writing and care for his characters and the world he build around them. So I would like to say Thank you Originally Posted by jwatson

Anyone who has met him in person probably knows he tells some great stories. I met him at a signing a few years ago and heard him tell a great story about how he never wanted to write Man Thing but Jim Shooter told him the only way he was getting off the book was to kill himself...so he wrote himself into the story and killed himself. I thought that was great.

New / Exiles wasn't that bad. First few issues of New Excalibur was good too. I liked most of X-Men Forever, maybe not so much 2 but it had some gems. Then Nightcrawler is classic Claremont.

For me, X-Men Forever and X-Men: The End were just horrible...painful to read, even. Originally Posted by JackalsIII

I got to meet Mr. Claremont, and other X-greats yesterday, and it was great to tell him, Bob McLeod, & Peter David Thank You and that they are the reason I read comics. I just wish that I got to meet Louise Simonson, Kieron Gillen, and Bill Sienkiewicz and tell them Thank you as well. Originally Posted by jwatson

I'm glad you did it, specially for Mr. McLeod, a modest but wonderful artist who didn't yield to "in style". Originally Posted by R.E.B
