You....*read* X-Treme X-Men?
Fuckin' hell....
o lord, no! I tried reading through it on the newstand while waiting for trains and such, but I can't really make it through, it's just that awful. It's sad, cos I really do still like a lot of his 70s and early-to-mid 80s material quite a bit, he really was once quite good. I can't think of anyone in any artform that has gone from such heights of creativity to such depths of hackishness... maybe Elton John?
I simply won't buy post-1990 Claremont comics, I refuse to spend money on crap like that. I never purchased any of the X-Men comics from after Kelly & Seagle left up until recently when Grant Morrison & Joe Casey & Mark Millar took over. It looks like I'm going to be switching Uncanny from something that I actually pay $2 for to another comic I thumb through and read in shops. Ultimate X-Men and New X-Men are absolutely fantastic, though. Top notch work. Same goes for Milligan & Allred's X-Force.
I don't buy Exiles, but I've read it at shops, and that's actually a fairly entertaining comic too, in a geeky fanboy sorta way. It reminds me of early 80s Shooter-era Marvel, but with that Judd Winick wise-cracking thrown in... |
