Since he first showed up Gambit really hasn’t had a lot of chances to shine, so it is good to see him just break the whole party out.

I’ve begun the deep dive into Claremont’s X-men for the first time, and I was wondering since it’s harder to discern for older titles or if they even operated on a coordinated synergy like tie ins now - are there any relevant, or good for their own sake , x titles of the Claremont era that help round out the story ala X-men now and say, Immortal X-men?
Good for you! Everyone should read the Claremont run.
Tumblr media
To answer your question, absolutely and 100% yes.
I would describe the Claremont run as a pioneer of the kind of cross-book coordination that would become absolutely hegemonic within comics thanks to its success here. So not only was there the flagship Uncanny X-Men book, but there was also New Mutants, X-Factor, Excalibur, and Wolverine, which frequently crossed-over and referenced one another - creating a cohesive "X-line" of books for the first time.
Chris Claremont depended heavily on his editors Ann Nocenti and Louise "Weezy" Simonson née Jones to make sure the X-line coherent and internally consistent. (This was back in the day when Marvel was stricter about things happening in real-time rather than the looser sliding timescale, so you'd have issues where Wolverine wouldn't be in an issue of X-Men because he was in Japan or Madripoor at the time and hadn't gotten back yet - and it was the job of the editor to keep track of all these movements.)
Chris and Ann then recommended Louise Simonson to replace Bob Layton on X-Factor, and then eventually take over for Claremont on New Mutants as well when he found he had bitten off more than he could chew writing-wise. Meanwhile Ann Nocenti would write several X-Men mini-series and some absolutely crucial backup stories in Classic X-Men. Last but by no means least, Louise's husband Walt would be added to the group as both writer and artist for projects like X-Men and the New Teen Titans, X-Factor, and cross-over issues.
Moreover, because Chris Claremont was a rather social and collaborative type who liked working with his friends, he liked to include their characters in his books and cross-over with their books. Thus, Ann Nocenti's Longshot became a member of the X-Men when the Longshot ongoing fell through, Louise's Power Pack would become frequent guest-stars in X-books and X-events, as would Walt's Thor cast.
Tumblr media
Indeed, the Claremont Run's very structure owes an enormous amount to Louise Simonson, who came up for the idea of turning the Mutant Massacre into an X-line crossover, a feat she would repeat with Fall of the Mutants, Inferno, and X-Tinction Agenda. These events formed the spine of the Claremont run and arguably the height of its creative and then commercial success.
The X-line would not be this cohesive again until HOXPOX and the creation of the X-writer's room/Slack.

My Ranking of Storm's Costumes (1/2)
i woke up, chose violence, and decided to rank all of ororo monroe's costumes based entirely on my opinions. i am not including casual clothing, but i will be including alternate versions of storm. this is purly my opinions, and I dont mean any disrespect to the designers of these costumes.
#36: Schoolgirl Storm
Tumblr media
As much as I love Emma Frost, I have no idea why she put Storm in this. While it does fit with her iconic color scheme, so many elements feel out of place, like the Xs under the knees, or the platform boots.
#35: Gray Storm
Tumblr media
Gray and...red? One of my big problems with a lot of Storm's later costumes is making red one of her central characters. I am a firm believer that red should stay as one of Storm's accent colors, similar to how it was used on her original costume. But this much red? And this weird shade of gray?
#34: Trainee Storm
Tumblr media
It's just the classic X-Uniform, but on Storm. I hate the two little belts on her right leg.
#33: Age of Apocalypse Storm
Tumblr media
While I don't think that this costume is amazing, I am clouded by nostalgia for AoA. The boots and eye tattoo are great though.
#32: Purple Bodysuit Storm
Tumblr media
I like purple. It's my favorite color. But this feels... wrong on Storm? The random pop of red on the cape really takes me out, and the metal detailing seems like something that would work better on one of Polaris's costumes (which would be SO COOL.)
#31: Ultimate Storm
Tumblr media
I think this is fine, but the low ponytail and thigh cutouts feel out of place. There is an entry later on in the list (spoiler: it's number one) that does this ensemble much better.
#30: Midnight Suns Storm
Tumblr media
It's alright, changing Storm to fit more with the Midnight Suns aesthetic. Eh.
#29: Anime Storm
Tumblr media
There is just a little too much on her outfit, and the purple lipstick seems out of place, but I am obsessed with her cape. Her hair is giving The Last Stand, which pains me.
#28: The Twelve Storm
Tumblr media
The white belt puts weird emphasis on her hip area, and her silhouette just makes me think of footie pajamas.
#27: X-Tinction Agenda Storm
Tumblr media
I don't like what the outfit symbolizes, but she just pulls off the look so well.
#26: Long Ass Hair Storm
Tumblr media
Her hair is SO LONG and SO FLOWY. I like the outfit as a whole, but the strappy bits on the cape and the white lining the belt and neck throws me off.
#25: X-Treme Storm
Tumblr media
Again, it's a lot of red, but the placement of yellow is great. I have a lot of nostalgia for this era, which most likely clouds my judgement.
#24: Pheonix Storm
Tumblr media
This is from What If, and is such a cool look for Storm. My biggest problem is how the Phoenix logo is only used on her crown, and nowhere else on her look.
#23: Gold Storm
Tumblr media
But what if she had long sleeves and no detailing?
#22: Inhumans VS X-Men Storm
Tumblr media
Love the look, hate the belt. Tan? TAN? I think the look could have been slightly improved by adding a little black to her pants.
#21: Miniseries Storm
Tumblr media
I think i would enjoy this look if her hair was in a ponytail, with the two long strands coming out of the front. I also think that the purple here works much better than #32, using it as an accent that draws your eye to her limbs.
#20: Stormcaster Storm
Tumblr media
The look feels more classic Thor than storm has ever looked, and I love it so much. The one thing I don't like is the gloves she wears, but that is a small gripe.
#19: Miniseries Storm (Longer Hair)
Tumblr media
The same as two above this, but with longer hair. The look works so well without the cape, and Storm's crown brings any look together.
#18: Outback Storm (Black Version)
Tumblr media
This feels like quintessential Storm, with a simple black and yellow color scheme. The black gloves on top of a black bodysuit should feel like a bit much, but I just love it.
#17: Outback Storm (White Version)
Tumblr media
Two words: gender envy. The placement of the yellow, the black lining of the cape, everything is AMAZING. I prefer this version over the all black version purely due to Storm's amazing hair.
#16: Sins of Sinister Storm
Tumblr media
I love how this look alludes so much to Magneto, and the gladiator style fits storm so well. I am a huge fan of her cape, with it's white lining and dark exterior. The small detail of giving her classic lightning earrings a new paint job just makes me so happy.
#15: Evolution Storm
Tumblr media
While I know that heels may not be practical, but I think it only shows how powerful she is - she's kicking ass while wearing giant heels. I have so much love for evolution, and as previously stated, I am a big fan of bright cape linings.
#14: Alpha Team Storm
Tumblr media
THIS. IS. THE. BEST. HER. CROWN. HAS. EVER. LOOKED. The baggy thigh highs and yellow lining on the leotard is great.
#13: Amalgam Storm
Tumblr media
While it is just her wearing Wonder Woman's outfit, that's not necessarily a bad thing. She just looks cool.
#12: Early Nineties Storm
Tumblr media
Is it black? Is it white? Is it just the dress meme? Is it iconic? Was she my lesbian awakening?
YES.
#11: Blue Bloodstorm
Tumblr media
I love Bloodstorm so much, and the black and blue detailing over the dark gray outfit really brings the whole look together. The use of asymmetry is really clever, with the single earring and lopsided belt.
#10: Hellfire Gala Storm
Tumblr media
The CAPE. The HAIR. The EARRING LIGHTING THINGIE. My favorite detail is the big ass shoulder pads, giving her a much more commanding presence that is fitting for the voice of Sol.
#9: Pyramid X Storm
Tumblr media
While this look has never appeared in comics, I just think the whole design is so different for Storm and so eerie. The outfit is just a little bit different enough from her classic look to where she feels a little scary, which fits perfectly with this character.
#8: Goddess of Thunder Storm
Tumblr media
Why aren't there more X-Men and Thor crossovers? While I don't always like Storm in blue, this beautiful cerulean cape looks amazing. The giant gloves, boots, and shoulder pads really emphasize parts of her body.
#7: Age of X-Man Storm
Tumblr media
I don't know enough about Kenyan clothing to say if this is accurate, but the whole outfit just makes me wonder why we haven't seen Storm in more orange shades. I love her ballet flats, and her cape pairs so well with the colors of her dress.

This comic services a lot. We’ve radicalized Magneto again, met a new team of villains, caught up with the reformed X-Men who are now split into two separate teams, had a bad ass training mission, fought Magneto, fired some nuclear missiles, ended up back in Genosha for the first time since the events of X-Tinction Agenda, and there’s still time at the end of this comic for the X-Men to fight Magneto’s new henchmen, the Acolytes (who, if I’m being honest, have no business fighting the X-Men). 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a packed comic book, maybe too much, as none of these plot developments had very much punch to them,. For being the biggest selling comic book of all time, it’s a below average X-Men comic in my opinion. Not one that I’d recommend to anyone starting out with the series. It’s Claremont going out with a fizzle, and it’d be interesting to hear some candid interviews from him reflecting on this period of his career. I wonder if such things exist. (X-Men Vol. 2 #1 – Oct 1991)

Used to collect comics when I was younger, typical stuff that was poppin' in the early 90's. Was watching this Youtube channel called Cartoonist Kayfabe, they were going over some of these issues, figured I'd grab some. I wanted to get Liefelds run on New Mutants, X-Force, and then all of the X-Tinction Agenda story arc. Still missing a few issues as you can see. Nowadays it seems like people mock this era for a myriad of reasons. Sure, some of the bodies may be disproportionate, anatomically incorrect, but the stories seem about as good as anything modern. At the very least they've got better stories than the majority of the MCU.

Every once and a while there are these books that are TPB books but they literally only add like... 4 new pages max (in this case, it is 3) and for the most part is is pointless to come read them... and this is very much the case for this one, just feels like a weird cash grab.
