Sovereign Seven bows out with issue #36, which seems to suggest Claremont originally had a three-year deal that just wasn't renewed. By the time these last few issues were on stands, Claremont was already back at Marvel, working now in an editorial role and writing Fantastic Four after editor-in-chief Bob Harras and previous writer Scott Lobdell experienced some undefined falling-out. Maybe Claremont's new position explains why the letter column quietly vanishes, and why the big finale in #36 doesn’t even have a text piece from him.
