His works on the Uncanny X-Men series was the worst of the lot. It never drives the story on and instead sticks to one static point. All the time, it was all about sex, and it shows the immature mind of Austen. Sometimes, things he would write is against logic or against the laws of nature. For instance, what is the occasion that Professor X would catch Wolverine coincidentally? Zero.
"Oh Chuck I love your bald head!"
His legacy in Marvel is that he introduces a parasite character, Nurse Annie. What is her purpose there? Help people or just go and fuck with our characters? Like I said his writings had damaged the franchise and poor Peter Milligan had to clear up the mess that was done by Austen.
Majority of comic-book lovers including your blogger hated Austen so much. It's just simply hate it but there are number of reasons that proofs that he's an asshole that's ought to be shot!
1. He thinks he's a damn good writer.
2. He limits his freedom of speech to nice bits.
3. He hits back at those readers who criticize him (giving points) - calling a reader "troll"
4. He has an assumption that if a fan doesn't like it, it's not his fault but the fans.
5. We are disappointed that the answer is there but yet there are some who think that Chuck Austen is a good writer and still supports him - the proof is just in front of our eyes.
If you want proof, you can take a look a one of the strip letters here. This is where he calls those fans "trolls" or assholes. Since the criticism, he made only one interview, he marred the X2 documentary, and he still keeps going with the same thing: chuckaustenonline.com
I really wanted to shoot / grill that asshole. He's unfit to write comics with his sick mentality.

Haha! Chuck Austen is not really that bad! He's good for laughs, really. I liked how he wrote Juggernaut (much better than "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" in X3). I liked Nurse Annie actually. I liked Havok and the psychotic Polaris. I like it that Austen doesn't really like Wolverine and wrote very little of that omnipresent little runt! (even the epic battle between Wolvie and Sabretooth happened "off-panel"). And finally, I liked most of what he wrote in Action Comics ("The Wrath of Gog" and "In The Name Of Gog"). Like I said, he's really not that bad (or maybe, he's sooooooooo bad that he's good - cause there's no one else like him out there!). And he's always good for a few laughs... :)
