I should probably respond to this in my 365-line review article (coming soon
to finer net sites everywhere) but...

I have no argument with your review of the art... it is original, and in
many ways I enjoy it more than other artists (certainly other artists on
NM);  but NM has gotten to be a case of one hand clapping.  Bill S-word (I'm
sorry, my spelling program hasn't gotten his name yet) is doing interesting
work, but it seems very removed from Claremonts writing.  I would tend to
blame CC for this... I'm enjoying the art on this book MUCH more than the
writing (and I'm not enjoying the art THAT much).  It seems every picture is
barely related to what the character are saying... I can just see Chris
getting the pages and saying "Oh, OH! I'll change Sam's statement there
and..." -- and eventually you have a very disjointed comic.

And before you say I have it in for Claremont, uh-uh; it's just that I've
been reading his earlier X-Men work (plus his Iron Fist and Marvel Team-Up);
he can do much, much better than this.
