Very good to include old Dominic.... I'd almost forgotten about him... but
what all this brouhaha about the outsidesrs being the worst team?  Have you
taken a look at the JLA lately? The defenders?  GARBAGE!!!  Mike Barr is
finally taking the Batman where he belongs, and since he is one of the best
writers at any "House of Ideas" (sneer), I hardly think you're doing justice
to him.

I hate to defend Chris Claremont.... there is no argument that he has gone
off on some of his views to a bizarre level, but he still has done some
things which make his characters atractive.  I still find Kurt and Wolverine
extremely interesting characters... Rogue also.  Yes, my teeth knash
occasionally when Claremont puts in one of his cutesy sililoquies (everyone
is so damn noble), but hell, this IS a comic book... you're suppose to have
noble people...

In summary, I don't think Claremont is bad... he's just getting old.  I
mean, if we're talking REALLY bad scripters, what about Bob Haney.... you
ever read any of his B&B stuff.... Argh.
