I don't think I've ever read the original JB set of pages.
So much more potent than what we all read originally.
wow

Brilliant. And way better than "Hi, I'm Phoenix! I'm going to heal
you and then turn myself into a dupilcate of you--with a part of your
consciousness inside me at no extra charge!" *** Exactly-- it's like a comedy sketch. "Hey there, are you busy?" "Not really, I'm pretty sure I'm about to die." "Oh, bummer that. Maybe I can help." "Why, who are you?" "Oh, I'm a god-like force that no one's ever heard of or called out to before-- but you called out to me. At least I think you did... What number were you dialing?" etc. The Phoenix/Jean exchange as printed presents Jean with no additional dilemma or conflict. It's just a gift from that ol' debil Deus Ex Etc.

I guess this thread counts as a Pyhrric victory!

JB said:
". . . And I say this as someone who thinks human beings are basically, you
know, animated pond scum."

And some people are scummier than others.

Slight thread drift - I apologise in advance.....
But, are ALL of JBs FF collected together in one volume? I discovered JB on X-men, then followed him to FF, but comic books were getting harder and harder to find at that point in the UK (the birth of speciality shops I guess) so I never did finish JB's run.

How far have the Essential FFs gotten?
Edit: looked it up - the end of Stan's run issue 137.
At one a year, 25ish issues....
I plan to pick up volume 7 (of 7) of your FF: visionairies when it comes out in the mean time.

Essential FF Volume 6 came out a few months back. It takes you up to issue #137. Long way to go until you hit JB's issues!

Thank you for posting those pages Al and Brian. After all these years I can have a sigh of relief- like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. The "you called and I answered" line always bothered me, and Jean was made to look weak. JB, rest assured, what you had planned was much better than the end result.

Around 2010 for the first run and 2016 for the second (guestimates!)
