The difference is that Calremont would resolve at least 80-90% of his subplots, and you can see the progression of the plotlines. I've been reading the Essential X-Men volumes, and it's fascinating to see how Claremont drops hints and develops the sub-plots. He would definitely take his time with some of them (37 issues for the overall Phoenix story, for example), but he seemed to know where he was going. The post-Claremont teams seem to be just throwing sub-plots at the wall, thinking that they can figure out what they mean later.<BR/>Inertia and the promise of the next big crossover kept me reading, but the only book I was actively enjoying at this point was X-Factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
