And all this conducted through the evil plans of Hellfire Club and the introduction of a new mutant to the called team Dazzlingto end up leading to the tragic ending in which the beloved of Cyclops He will die, leaving the team leader with a deep trauma that will lead him to abandon the formation.
Chris Claremont Yes John Byrne They are mainly responsible for this creative explosion which, despite how mythical these numbers are, not everyone was happy with at the time. In a way this was the End of the Avengers game of the X-Men, as there were still good stories to tell but it seemed that with the fall of the Dark Phoenix couldn’t have been done better…
The best Logan
The change shortly afterwards in the color of the suit Gluttongoing from bright yellow to a much more dignified brown suit coincided with an increase in the character’s charisma. Surely it was those times after Jean Gray’s death where Logan The cooler it became, something greatly enhanced by the bullet that Claremont and Byrne still had in their gun: with Days of Future Past they changed the rules of the game and brought comics to a level where only good science fiction novels could be.
Another noteworthy adventure would be the one that occurred shortly after Kitty Pryde. We know that today the xenomorph franchise has entered into full force The House of Ideas and we can see these aliens fight with acid instead of blood Avengersbut at that time the authors had to invent the N’Garaisome white label xenomorphs that Gatasombra had to face during a terrifying Christmas.
