WAY too much going on here and it's often very, very confusing. Wolverine is saved from the Reavers by Jubilee and Psylocke becomes a ninja. Storm comes back as a child (I really, really wish Claremont would let Nanny and the Orphanmaker go away). Then all the who died or went through the Siege Perilous have individual adventures as they start anew. Banshee teams up with Forge to try to relocate the old X-Men while Muir Island falls apart (mostly thanks to Legion). There really is no X-men through most of the book. Storm is killed (and you know it isn't going to last because they bury her and move on too quickly), Longshot quits the team (good riddance) and four of the other X-Men step through the Siege Perilous to be reborn. This collection deserves the moniker "Fall of the Mutants" much more than the crossover from a couple of years earlier. It gets going pretty rapidly after that as everything completely falls apart. Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series.Ĭollects Uncanny X-men #244-269, Annual #13 as well as some supplemental material which covers May, 1989 to October, 1990.Īn incredibly mixed-bag, the collection starts off weakly with a "girl's night out" story followed by a "boy's night out" story and the usual rather ridiculous annual. In the 1980s, he also wrote a science fiction trilogy about female starship pilot Nicole Shea, consisting of First Flight (1987), Grounded! (1991), and Sundowner (1994). This trilogy continues the story of Elora Danan from the movie Willow. Outside of comics, Claremont co-wrote the Chronicles of the Shadow War trilogy, Shadow Moon (1995), Shadow Dawn (1996), and Shadow Star (1999), with George Lucas.
He also wrote a few issues of the series WildC.A.T.s (volume 1, issues #10-13) at Image Comics, which introduced his creator-owned character, Huntsman.
