Even though it was only 4 parts, they couldn't keep it coherent behind the scenes as well. 2 examples: Rogue changes outfits in every part in-between issues, and Colossus doesn't join X-factor in the assault on the island in part 3...but somehow shows up on the island magically in part 4.wwk5dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-27604953836012774522012-11-28T13:30:30.112-05:002012-11-28T13:30:30.112-05:00@Mela: Wasn't it the unofficial sign that Clar...@Mela: <i>Wasn't it the unofficial sign that Claremont wasn't the shepherd of the X-books?</i><br /><br />It was more or less an official sign as well; the Muir Island Saga ran through issues #278-280 of <i>Uncanny</i>, and Claremont left halfway through issue #279, with Fabian Nicieza stepping in to finish the story. <br /><br />Claremont hung around to do <i>X-Men</i> vol.2 #1-3 of course, but the Muir Island Saga made it pretty clear he'd lost his clout and was on his way out.

I tried reading summaries of it from various sources, and not a one makes any sense.
