    I really have to say how much I enjoy Chris Claremont‘s story telling. I get a sense that I’m in such an adventure into the unknown that will be explored to the fullest. It is such an inspiring sensation. And few authors can replicate it. I got my Xtreme Xmen this week but I’m m actually still only reading Fall of the Mutants so I’ve got a ways to go. But I’m looking forward to it and am sure to ready every issue I can get my hands on up to Xtreme.

    Keeping an eye on the comments because I don’t know if the interest in this is because it’s good, or because (take your pick) it’s Claremont, you’re an omni completionist, you’re an X-Men fanboy good or bad, you have nostalgia or Omar is persuasive. I’ll admit I’ve made purchases based on most of these reasons at some point, but the best thing about any Omni is when it is just a damn good book. If these are well-written good X-Men stories, count me in. Are they?

    When Claremont was writing during the X-Men Revolution era, it sold, but it wasn’t well received by the critics and a lot of the readers were hate-reading it. Also, he was writing for the long game and it wasn’t that accessible to potential new readers. The movie had come out and upper management was unhappy with the state of the X-Men line, it wasn’t marketable. Bob Harras was fired and Joe Quesada replaced him. Quesada knew that Claremont was not without value, but he had plans to streamline the X-Men and get it to where it needed to be for a world where a live action X-Men movie was released and successful at the box office. Giving Claremont his own title was the best solution, he was free to do his own thing, but it would still in continuity with the Marvel universe. I think that his roster was the commercial and diverse. He also had several famous characters that fans of the movie and cartoons would know. Grant did not have any PoC and Joe Casey didn’t have any women in his first arc. And when Casey did add a female character, she was a working prostitute. So yeah, on the strengths of the fan favorite characters, Salvador Larroca’s art, and Claremont himself, X-Treme was a top ten seller in its first two years.
