@cattlebattle: I always saw a mary sue was a boring character who lacked any interesting personality traits, but always managed to have interesting things happen to them through the plots of the stories. Y'know, kind of like Cyclops was back in the day...

@koays: He didn't "fix" them. He was only popular amongst kids of the time period because his art made them believe that anyone could be an artist.

You say that the outback era looks like something Austin would of done??? Are you high? 🙁

@koays: Rob Liefeld also disliked the outback era.... you probably have a lot in common with him. ;)

The outback era did have a pretty stupid premise, with the X-Men pretending to be dead, but I found the stories from that time period to be enjoyable. The plots from that time might not be the most memorable, but there were a lot of good character moments. I also liked how the stories from that time seemed more grounded.

Anyway, the weakest part of Claremont's run was the beginning from before John Byrne replaced Cockrum.

@koays: You say that now, but in a few months you'll see that my post actually predicted the future. 😉

@koays: Cattlebattle's reviews will peak your interest. You'll eventually give in to temptation, put on a mask cuz "pandemic", and buy the comics, hoping that nobody recognizes you. You will then read the comics, at home alone, hidden under your blanket with a flashlight. You may even tuck the comic book inside a nude magazine, just for in case someone walks in on you, you can act like you were looking at porn instead. But all that trouble will be worth it for the satisfaction you get out of these comics. You disgust me. 😒

I bet Koays will end up becoming a closet fan of this series. 😂

You can tell that Cattlebattle's reviews would be vastly more entertaining than those issues themselves.

Good art can make bad writing readable and bad art can make okay writing unreadable.

Yes. 2012-2015 was a very dirty time for the X-Men with Bendis doing that to them all. 😞
