In Part 2 of our interview with Chris Claremont about his latest foray into the X-Men universe with the brand new book X-Men Forever.  In Part 1, we talked about the risks at stake in the X-Men Forever universe and some other things.

In Part 2, we talked about appearances in the book by other members of the Marvel Universe (and which ones show up at Logan’s funeral in issue #10).  The topic turned to his interest in writing any comics in current Marvel 616 continuity (post House of M, Civil War, Dark Reign, etc.).  We also spoke of the timeline and continuity of this series and he talked more about that.  The most interesting thing he said about the timeline issues of this book was that, “What we know, or think we know, as readers isn’t necessarily what the characters know in a specific time as themselves.”

Make sure to come back Monday for Part 3, where we talk about what he thinks about what people have done with his creations in his absence (among many, many other things, including some hints about the future of the X-Men!)…
