The Muir Island Saga: Unfortunately this doesn't live up to its long buildup, and you can guess that Claremont was increasingly dragged down by the artists that were given a chance to participate in the story. Claremont's writing on the X-Factor finale isn't as good as his other writing from the period, perhaps because he's scripting someone else's writing, but it's still fun and nicely sets up the interesting Askani arc.

Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series. In the 1980s, he also wrote a science fiction trilogy about female starship pilot Nicole Shea, consisting of First Flight (1987), Grounded! (1991), and Sundowner (1994). This trilogy continues the story of Elora Danan from the movie Willow. Outside of comics, Claremont co-wrote the Chronicles of the Shadow War trilogy, Shadow Moon (1995), Shadow Dawn (1996), and Shadow Star (1999), with George Lucas. He also wrote a few issues of the series WildC.A.T.s (volume 1, issues #10-13) at Image Comics, which introduced his creator-owned character, Huntsman.
