Soap opera digests: Dirk Deppey points out an interesting discussion between J.W. Hastings and Eve Tushnet regarding the highs and lows of Chris Claremont's original ("classic"?) run on "Uncanny X-Men."

Among the highs, Eve points to the creation of "characters that still resonate (Rogue, Wolverine [yeah, I know, but the basic idea is pretty good], Storm, Nightcrawler ...)"

Not to nitpick Eve, or to diminish Claremont's contributions to the X-Men and Marvel canon, but he didn't create Wolverine, Storm or Nightcrawler.
