It’s funny.
I think Chris Claremont’s first (long) run on X-Men is the high-water mark for mutants and for serialized storytelling in general. He always balanced the complexity of a dozen ongoing storylines against the need to actually tell a story in every issue so that readers felt satisfied and would come back next month.
But since he left X-Men and came back to Marvel, I find his stuff to be too dense and wordy.
Like the above fight between Colossus and Hulk. We don’t need to know Peter’s every thought–frankly, it’s distracting and slows momentum.
This is a one-shot so, like most one-shots, it’s pretty pointless. We don’t even get a good fight, and the “twist” in the end isn’t much different from Uncanny X-Men #183. We find out that Logan engineered the whole fight–the same way he got Colossus to fight Juggernaut in that classic issue.
Yawn.
