Over the weekend I picked up a couple discount trade paperbacks of Chris Claremont\u2019s New Exiles \u2013 during the phase in which Chris Claremont seemed to be quarantined further and further away from prime Marvel continuity, the end result of which was the gloriously onanistic X-Men: Forever \u2013 and there was just something so\u2026 comforting about it.\u00a0 Everything you expect from a story in which Chris Claremont is given free rein, and nothing you don\u2019t.\u00a0 It\u2019s like sitting down and having a visit with Grandpa.<\/p>\n
