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.

Outside of comics, Claremont co-wrote the Chronicles of the Shadow War trilogy, Shadow Moon (1995), Shadow Dawn (1996), and Shadow Star (1999), with George Lucas.

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

Technically an X-book so no Bendis, and even worse it's written by the 'not the creator he was' Chris Claremont, but despite that, the Decimation (technically incorrect word usage) of Marvel's mutant community was always going to be an emotive story and the peaks included a classic Logan/Piotr chat, Emma Frost opening up, and the very sad (for me) loss of power of one of my all-time favourite mutants - Jubilee! Overall it could have been so much better, and but does kick ass on first-reading, but once the dust settles it doesn't do that much on re-readings - 7 out of 12.

This is what I call a five star issue!
Chris Claremont came through for us 🥳
I was worried that X-men writers wouldn't be able to capitalize on the events of House of M, but he did it.
Opportunistic humans capatalized on the catastrophes that befell mutants and sent sentinels after them.
A new terrorist group was formed called the sapian league. It looks like they will hunt mutants.
Most of mutants don't have their powers anymore.
Most prominently are Iceman, Jubilee, Mirage.
Magneto became crazy, not evil crazy, but homeless repeat the same sentence all day crazy.
Cyclops choose to send all the depowered students home to make room to shelter all mutants in need of shelter.
He even setup many storylines for most running X titles right now.
Phenomenal job.
I only have giant size ms marvel issue left in the omnibus, then it will be the weird materials that I don't even know if it was ever released as single issues.

Ваншот «Спустошення: Династія М - День опісля» («Decimation: House of M - The Day After») є епілогом «Династії М» і прологом до того, що буде відбуватися далі. Сценарієм займався Кріс Клермонт.

У кінці «ДМ» Ванда робить дії, після яких світ знову змінюється, і майже усі ті, хто був мутантами, втратили ген мутації, а разом з ним і сили. Ця історія розповідає про те, що сталося далі після закінчення «ДМ», про наслідки для мутантів і світу. Якщо в ідеальному світі, створеному силою Багряної Відьми, мутанти домінували в суспільстві, то тепер, ненависть і насильство людей проти мутантів повернулися, і в рази сильніше, ніж будь-коли. Мутанти знаходяться на межі вимирання і перед ними тепер стоять нові виклики, головний з яких боротьба за власне життя.

Не можу виділити щось круте у коміксі, але Клермонт намагався помістити у випуск багато речей, які втихомирять цікавість читачів. І думаю, він справився досить добре. Тому не пропускайте цей комікс.

Este One-Shot sirve como epílogo a los acontecimientos de House of M y prólogo o inicio de lo que viene después: Decimation.

Luego de que Wanda pronunciara las tres palabras más devastadoras de todas, "No más mutantes", el mundo se vio alterado una vez más y la gran mayoría de los que eran mutantes perdieron el Gen-X y con este sus poderes. Esta historia nos cuenta un poco más de lo que pasó después, de las consecuencias para muchos de los mutantes y para el mundo en sí (una forma de satisfacer la curiosidad después del final de House of M). Si en el mundo ideal creado por el poder de Scarlet Witch los mutantes dominaban la sociedad, ahora que han sido diezmados ha vuelto el odio y la violencia de los humanos contra los mutantes, y más fuerte que nunca. Solo que ahora son una minoría, una excepción al borde de la extinción, y les será más difícil defenderse y luchar por sus vidas.

Pas franchement exceptionnel

Maaann. I feel like Marvel writers really hate mutants sometimes. It's the very day after M-day as the title suggests, mutants worldwide are still discovering and dealing with their loss of powers that feels much like sensory deprivation or amputated limb (cue seeing our favorite X-Men all sad and heartbroken and some are flirting with mental breakdown), and yet anti-mutant humans are already at it with their terrorism against the depowered and remaining powered mutants.

At least Clairemont got one thing right: humans are bigoted assholes and downright trash in general. (Sorry for the bitter pessimism; I've had to deal with Malay conservatives this week.)

The story arc of never-ending struggle for mutant rights is gritty and heartfelt in this one. But tbh I'm already tired of those freaking Sentinels.

Dudé si leer este anexo a House of M cuando hiciera relectura de la obra principal pero una noche de desvelo me llevó a creer que no valía la pena. Y en parte tenía razón, porque más allá de las lagunas de lógica de los personajes al sacar conclusiones sobre qué pasó el Día M, las historias que se van tejiendo en las páginas de este especial no terminan de llegar al corazón, salvo quizás por alguna escena como la de Bobby Drake recién desmutantizado peleándose con una mamá racista contenta porque su hija se volvió "normal". El dibujo tampoco es una locura y falla en expresividad y dinámica, pero al meno los diseños de los personajes de esta época eran agradables.

Creo que este especial se incluyó en uno de los tomos de los fallidos X-Men de Milligan en inglés que en su momento marqué como leído, así que valga esta reseña para empatar aquel tomo en dos estrellitas anodinas.

Cool concept. The impact that “No More Mutants” has had reminds me of the impact of the Blip. Very cool seeing everyone’s reactions to the mutants losing their powers. The Blob was crazy. Very interesting stuff well done makes me want to read more.

Este número solo tiene interés para saciar la curiosidad tras los sucesos de Dinastía de M y realmente no avanza nada de lo que va suceder a continuación. Completamente prescindible

[Tim B · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is just a set up for the next phase of Marvel. It was interesting and introduced the post-Witch world. Captain Britain shows up as a hologram, as himself, and not the king of UK.

[Lucy Wickham · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, reading because of wandavision.

This is definitely useful for people who are planning to continue reading the house of m storyline, but i don't plan to so it didn't really do anything for me.

3.5⭐️

[Dony Grayman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un especial a modo de epílogo que no se suele incluir en los recopilatorios.

[Guido · Rating 3 out of 5]

Listado de personajes del especial posterior al día M.

[Kapitol Tank · Rating 3 out of 5]

Traduce el posfacio de Dinastía de M: Decimation. House of M: The Day After.

En algunos recopilatorios anexos a la saga creo que se incluyó también.

Everyone losing their powers and mind. This is one of the best storylines in marvel history. I can't wait for the next issue.
