We’re back for the second installment of our Epic X-Men (Re)Read through Chris Claremont’s original run. In this episode we discuss Claremont’s first story in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #94-95 (though it was plotted by Wein), as well as a pair of stories he inserts around that in back-ups from Classic X-Men (1986) #2-3, as well as a later back-up in #10. Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for the first year of Jonathan Hickman’s Dawn of X.
