Scott Lobdell (born 1963 ) is an American Comic Book writer. He is mostly known for his work throughout the 1990s on Marvel's X-Men related titles, specifically Uncanny X-Men , the main title itself, and the spin-off series that he conceived with artist Chris Bachalo , Generation X . Generation X focused on a number of young mutant students who attempted to become super-heroes in their own right at a separate school, with the guidance of veteran X-related characters Banshee and Emma Frost . He also had writing stints on Marvel's Fantastic Four , Alpha Flight , and The Adventures Of Cyclops And Phoenix miniseries with artist Gene Ha WRITING STYLE AND FAN REACTION Lobdell is for the most part distinctively dedicated to character development as opposed to plot-driven stories. His work tends to be characterized by a humourous, light-hearted tone balanced with soap-operatic leanings that lend ''pathos'' to his work. While supporters appreciate this style, seeing it as appropriate for the X-franchise in particular during his stint there, he also occasionally came under criticism for his lack of drive and unconcluded subplots, during his Uncanny X-Men in particular. However, it has been said that this can also be attributed to heavy editorial influence. AWARDS His work has won him a good deal of recognition in the comics community, including a nomination for the Comics' Buyer's Guide Award for Favorite Writer in 1997. References:
