Sinister’ - a mutant with a lifespan of well over a thousand years. Back then, the Classic X-Men reprint series contained original short stories derived from the issue being reprinted, some of which related to Scott Summers’ years in the Nebraska State Home for Foundlings, wherein it was established that he had a young friend - apparently his only friend. Sinister - which has nothing to do with the character as he currently exists. Emmanuel mentioned you had previously stated plans to have him get close to Kitty Pryde in some way?Ĭhris: If memory serves (always an adventurous mountain path to drive along, especially with none of my story notes at hand), the idea derived from my original conception of Mr. Maybe that long-awaited ongoing… or even a freaking mini-series… will come after that? Hassan promises to have more from Claremont in Monday's column, so we'll be paying close attention in case we get any kind of announcement… but sadly, we won't be holding our breath.Anyway, X-Fans had a lot of questions about Chris’ upcoming Gambit mini-series and his eXtremely popular co-creation, Remy LeBeau, so without further ado, here’s Chris!ĪIPT: Welcome to X-Men Monday, Chris - truly an honor!

And while the interview as a whole is worth a read, one exchange in particular caught our eye, when Hassan implied that Claremont has been pretty busy writing so many X-Men comics lately.ĪiPT!: Chris, you've had a chance to revisit various X-Men characters in a lot of recent short stories…Ĭhris Claremont: I wouldn't say a lot. But maybe next week? However, Hassan did meet with Claremont at Terrificon this weekend, and he published an interview with the legendary creator.
Over at Adventures in Poor Taste, intrepid X-reporter Chris Hassan runs a weekly Q&A with Marvel X-Editor Jordan White about the X-Men, and for the past 22 weeks, we've tried to convince him to ask White when Marvel will let Claremont write an ongoing series.
