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.
Claremont is so passionate about these characters and to listen to him talk about the books, the movies, and the legalities of the rights was so great. He truly is the architect of the X-Men.
