New X-Men vs X-Treme X-Men – From Claremont to The Morrison Manifesto

by CageClub Podcast Network · Published May 22, 2026 · Updated May 22, 2026

It’s time to look at the stories behind the stories – and Nico’s read and ready. The New X-Men era changed EVERYTHING for the X-Men and Marvel. But it wasn’t just New X-Men – there were many titles, but few had a creator behind them like Chris Claremont the way X-Treme X-Men did. Over the years, a lot of conversations have been revealed and evolved out of the experiences behind the scenes in the X-Office about how these two books came together. Now, using the Morrison Manifesto (published in the New X-Men Omnibus among other places) and Comics Creators On The X-Men, Nico pulls together interviews with Morrison, Claremont, and input from their collaborators like Marc Silvestri, Chris Bachalo, & more to create a picture of what happened to create these two titles. Read along with Comics Creators on The X-Men by Tom DeFalco & the Morrison Manifesto – it’s all this and more on an all new X Is For Comics!
