In Episode 72 of the ComicsVerse Podcast, the ComicsVerse crew talks to the legendary X-Men fan-favorite writer in this Chris Claremont interview!

Before Marvel, Chris Claremont studied acting and political theory at Bard College. While he initially had no interest in the comic book industry, Chris Claremont later went on to write more X-MEN comics than anyone else. His continuous run from 1975 to 1991 changed the way we look at comic book’s favorite team of outsiders forever and, therefore, matured not only a Marvel franchise but the superhero genre itself.

Several generations of X-MEN fans including, Columbia University Law School student and ComicsVerse Editor Jake Grubman, ComicsVerse managing editor Jamie Rice, German ComicsVerse Staff writer Marius Thienenkamp and, of course, ComicsVerse C.E.O. Justin Alba first prepared an interview with a man he always considered an icon to him. Hence, it’s safe to say no one felt disappointed!

Chris Claremont, X-Men, and Marvel

We subsequently asked to hear the story of how Claremont got started with Marvel. Additionally, we asked: Why should Jean Grey have remained dead? What were the original plans for X-FACTOR and the character of Rachel Grey? What happens after X-MEN: THE END? Are the X-Men just as relatable as they used to be? In conclusion, those questions and much more will be answered! Thus, we studied hours of one Chris Claremont interview after another to prepare for this podcast. As a result, things in this interview don’t exist anywhere else!
