Whedon is easily the best writer on the book since Claremont was at his peak in the late 70s and early 80s.



Claremont 1975-80 was great.
Morrison 2001-2004 was great.
Whedon's work is great.

All other "Uncanny X-Men" stuff pales next to these eras.



I basically agree with you, but I'd extend Claremont's run to include up to the Morlock/Mutant Massacre. Paul Smith's all-too-short run was thoroughly enjoyable, Uncanny's run from about #170 - 175 was a solid storyline featuring Mastermind, and there wre a lot of highlights throughout. I think, after the Massacre, the combination of the yearly event and spreading himself too thin burned Claremont out. Not to say the post-Claremont writers were all that good (I dropped the title when Claremont got dropped), but there you go.
