Same with Annihilation wave because jesus I still wanna read that but I think they stopped. Also my friend just introduced me to Ny-X!? WHAT IS THIS THING AND I NEED TO READ IT. In Annihilation, the interiors didn't match the covers, but for stuff that looks like that on the inside the most obvious suggestion is Alex Ross, his two biggest works are Marvels and Kingdom Come. Esad Ribic would be another one. His big works would be Loki, Sub-Mariner and the most recent Secret Wars. Googling tells me the artist for the Annihilation covers was Gabriele Dell'Otto, the only thing I've read were he did interior art was Secret War written by Brian Michael Bendis (there's at least 2 other series called Secret War before, loving comics and their naming schemes). Alex Maleev also has a painterly quality to his work, his most famous run his his stuff on Daredevil with (again) Brian Michael Bendis. I would recommend everything I've mentioned even to people who didn't pay much attention to the art, everything except Kingdom Come is on Marvel Unlimited (because it's DC) or at least some of what I've mentioned should be at your local library, if you're going to buy something online, a google image search of the name should tell you if it's something you're interested in at least.

Ribic also did (most of?) the interiors for the God Butcher storyline in the rockin' Thor: God of Thunder series.

Reprints probably won't happen. Trades would be easily found on Amazon. Or, if you have a tablet, check out comiXology for digital copies.

He didn't write Avengers regularly - he only wrote Annual #10 off the top of my head. He would have written some Captain Britain around this time as well, although I believe those tended to be shorter stories for reprint in British anthology titles. I think he only ever wrote two ongoings at once in the 1980s (Uncanny and New Mutants until about 1987, then Uncanny and Excalibur from 1988 or so through to when he left Marvel) but he wrote a number of miniseries and one-offs at the same time (Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Wolverine/Shadowcat, God Loves, Man Kills, X-Men vs FF etc.). He might have done the first five or six issues of the Wolverine ongoing in the late 1980s but I'm not sure. I don't think he was ever the regular writer on X-Factor, interestingly enough.

Looks like he wrote a bunch of Ms. Marvel and Marvel Team-Up issues. And he had a short run on Avengers. Looking at his chronological history, 2-3 issues per month seems to be his minimum, hitting 5-6 issues in short spurts. Not counting reprints and translations, of course. http://comicbookdb.com/creator_chron.php?ID=249

Fun fact: just as Claremont and Byrne originally introduced Sabretooth in an issue of Power Man & Iron Fist, Claremont originally introduced Deathbird as a Ms Marvel enemy.

It's also really easy to tell when Claremont comes on to Ms Marvel because he immediately ditches the 'Ms Marvel and Carol Danvers are seperate personalities/entities sharing one body' gimmick that was basically an excuse for Carol to faint every 5 minutes in the earlier issues. Oh, and that's done via MODOK strapping her to a bondage table and mind-controlling her to wrestle his current henchlady. Just in case Chris wasn't being SUPER obvious.

To be fair, everything Starlin wrote eventually ended up in Adam Warlock.

Since Starlin didn't have a regular book (and wasn't sure if he ever would have one) until he got the Warlock comic for about a year in the 1970s, he mostly just put Thanos et al. into whatever comic he happened to be doing a one-off or a fill-in for.

He wrote a couple of X-Factor stories (including the one where Apocalypse infects Baby Nate with the T-O virus) right before the early 90's X-title reshuffle. I think they were co-written with Jim Lee though. But yeah, he was never the regular writer on it. I mean, he was pretty sore when the book was launched in the first place, and then Simonson took over and wrote it for a lot of its early run. I think his biggest output would have been when he was working on both Uncanny and New Mutants (he wrote up to #54 or so of it) plus whatever else he was working on at the time (usually some other X-Men minis).

One rumour I've heard repeated a bit is that Claremont was keen to write the Fantastic Four in the mid-1980s and there was a very real possibility of him and Byrne swapping places in 1987 or so, but Byrne left to work for DC instead. No idea if there's any truth at all to it, but it's really interesting to speculate on how that would have turned out. Would've been pretty cool if he'd managed to get Alan Davis to come aboard with him as well.

I reckon the whole cross-dimensional adventures in time and space he and Davis did in Excalibur would've translated really well to Fantastic Four.

Has there ever been a story with Wolverine in the future where he doesn't look older? It just seems kind of weird that the guy stayed 30 for like 200 years but as soon as you get further than modern day he starts getting gray hair and wrinkles.

Most of those stories were written well before it was established that he's ridiculously old, as well.

Speaking of James Howlett, I seem to recall they attempted a swerve where he and a couple other mutants were actually a different race of ferals or w/e and there was someone stalking them? Vaguely like a "Nosferatu, progenitor of all vampires" thing did that ever pay off?

The reverse - Wolverine was actually a natural human and 'humans' (and mutants) were just another part of the Celestial engineered immune system like the Inhumans, Eternals and Deviants.

It goes back explicitly to at least Fractions's Defenders, and you could probably read it into the 2004 miniseries. That was the first time they paired him up with an inappropriately young co-ed as a sidekick, though I don't think he hooked up with that particular woman. e: err, that was the 2009 series, not 2004.
