CHRIS CLAREMONT RECREA EL BIG BANG ¡¡CON UN POLVO DE LOGAN Y JEAN!!

Claremont demuestra que, aunque se ha quedado sin sitio en la industria, se lo toma con mucha sabiduría, y aún tiene varias perlitas que soltar sobre retirarse a tiempo de las que más de uno debería tomar nota:

No matter how good of a ball player you were, you can't keep going forever. You're not going to be able to hit .300 when you're 60. You still look around and you think, 'This is weird. Have I missed something?' Well, yeah, you have. Every generation has its own preferences and their own ways they want to tell the story, and not every creator fits in as comfortably as once they may have."

"For me, the relationship between Phoenix and Jean is primal and unbreakable, and transcends the brief interlude of Jean's physical existence on Earth," Claremont said. "That there is a much larger back story and future story than anyone can imagine that would, in my personal vision, culminate umpty-bump billion years down the line, when you get to the last sun going out against the darkness, and on the last bit of rock you find Logan patiently sitting and waiting — probably playing chess with Kitty, who's been watching over him 20 billion years — for Jean. Who shows up. And then she and Logan have their moment of privacy, and the fire of their passion ignites the big bang. That's my vision of how all this fits together."

"The one thing I have never been comfortable with in the modern presentation of character — and it may have changed, this is some years ago — is their total isolation from the rest of the world," he said. "It's all about superheroes interacting with superheroes. There's no normal life. No normal people. That was the whole point, for me, when I had Kitty in her miniseries working at the University of Chicago. Because life goes on. She's not there forever. None of them should have been there forever, because that way leads to stagnation."

Ciertamente yo creo que Claremont da en el clavo: Cada vez es más y más difícil encontrar a superhéroes fuera de su uniforme y haciendo cosas de personas normales, que al fin y al cabo es lo que nos hacen atractivos.

Mucho pedir en una época en la que Superman sale con Wonder Woman y se está pegando con Batman cada dos viñetas...
