The Claremont Run
@claremontrun.bsky.social
An academic research project devoted to the study of Chris Claremont's 16 yr run on Uncanny X-Men comics and associated titles.
In her portrayal of a female scientist, Moira MacTaggert operates against the grain of media norms of the time that have been said to restrict women’s access to the STEM fields by perpetuating perceptual barriers about femininity and the hard sciences. #xmen 1/6
With the help of Frank Miller in the 1982 Wolverine mini-series, Claremont aligned Wolverine’s character with samurai mythology (on top of the previous cowboy association), a decision that greatly altered and advanced Logan toward new storytelling horizons. #xmen #wolverine 1/7

In advancing the X-Men theme of protecting a world that hates and fears them, Claremont cultivates the idea of mental and spiritual exhaustion for his marginalized group, as a result of their desire to contribute to a society despite being excluded from it. #xmen 1/10
“The Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans” is widely regarded as the best of the Marvel/DC crossover experiments over the years, and a rare event comic that actually lives up to the hype. #xmen #TeenTitans 1/9
