As much as I love parts of Cockrum's return to the series and Paul Smith's heartbreakingly short-lived tenure, I think that said Golden Age ends with #137 or at the outside with John Byrne's departure after #142, but that's another story.</i><br /><br />While that's not <i>my</i> personal Golden Age of X comics (or even my favorite run) you'd be hard pressed to find many who would disagree with the idea that it was the Golden Age for the X-Men. #137 just seems like the culmination of everything Claremont had been building, along with his collaborators, and those last few Claremont/Byrne issues following that one (especially <i>Days of Future Past</i>) make for a wonderful coda to the whole thing.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-63987667177599082142011-03-30T23:52:52.389-04:002011-03-30T23:52:52.389-04:00A man...
