Readthrough: Classic X-Men 6

[sheliak]

For me, Classic X-Men's quiet stories were always its strong point; this one is quieter than most. Chris Claremont called it a story without words; it's not quite that, but it's a story told primarily through the art, without dialogue or narrative captions.

Does this count as a story without words?

Yes, the lack of dialogue, thought balloons and captions is enough.

No, the notes and poster disqualify it.

No, but for Claremont it's close enough.

What did you think of this issue? Would you like to see other X-Men stories told without dialogue? Is there an artist you'd like to see draw one?

(Also, how much do you think Jean and Misty know about each other at this point?)
