About the author

Chris Claremont is a writer of American comic books, best known for his 16-year (1975-1991) stint on Uncanny X-Men, during which the series became one of the comic book industry's most successful properties.

Claremont has written many stories for other publishers including the Star Trek Debt of Honor graphic novel, his creator-owned Sovereign Seven for DC Comics and Aliens vs Predator for Dark Horse Comics. He also wrote a few issues of the series WildC.A.T.s (volume 1, issues #10-13) at Image Comics, which introduced his creator-owned character, Huntsman.

Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series.

Reviews

[Nicolas]

This was a weird collection of partial stories. It was difficult to follow and tough to get in to because it kept jumping in mid-story and moving on before anything could conclude. This collection was not put together well at all.

Cold, bloody and anger... prefect recipe
