It has long been my contention (based solely on X-Men--I hadn't read much other Clairmont at the time) that one of the main reasons I enjoyed the early-new (whew!) X-Men was the plotting. Once Byrne left the book (and the co-plotting), the plotting went downhill, and degenerated into more and more of the "Clairmont making a speech" type of story. The main reason I enjoy FF so much (especially earlier in Byrne's run), and the few Hulk issues he did, was the plotting. Conclusion: Clairmont can't plot (at least not consistently), which is why X-Men has gone downhill so much. All we're left with is soap opera. ========================================= "Uncle Dick, are any of the kids in your books named Mitch?" "Uh, actually, most of my characters tend to be hand tools."
