The very educated and astute knowledge of Doctor J. Andrew Derman of The Claremont Run joins Chris and Chandler as they journey into Limbo and recap the grand finale of Magik’s mini-series run with Magik #4. Dr. Derman selected this issue for the podcast to reflect on the complex character of Illyana and the ways Claremont pushed the boundaries of comic book storytelling through her trial by fire in Limbo. The Claremont Run is a project exploring Chris Claremont’s sixteen year run on Uncanny X-Men, and its impact on gender and sexuality in comics, and long continuity in modern media.
