Wow, I really like the results Tony. I really like the
landing wheel panel.

Thanks guys, it’s much sharper at full resolution. I think I went overboard with the wheel, but like I said, I haven’t done this for a while.

Really nice inks, Tony. Flipping back and forth between your inked version and the pencils brought a question forth from the stew of my mind: JB, is there a rule of thumb as to when you give Storm eyeballs or not?

Hi all - I decided to try my hand at this. It has been a very intimidating endeavor but here it is in progress over a blue line art printout and I must say I am no Al Gordon, Terry Austin, Joe Rubenstein and so on...

It’s great to be able to access to stuff like full penciled pages by professionals nowadays. Say what you want about the pros and cons of the internet, I would have killed to have access to this stuff as a kid. 
JB,  I don’t know if you’ve ever been asked this, but have you ever had any interest in putting out a  “how to” book with all your techniques on how to create sequential art? Because as great as the Marvel book is I think we could stand an update and honestly, what I’ve seen of newer ones have been rather lacklustre.

Hey, let me first say that I'm totally enjoying Elsewhen for what it is:  a treasure totally unconnected to anything with no expectations for anything more.  But with that said, here's a quick, totally "what if" question (since you mentioned you may have been planning another issue):

If you were to produce 50 issues of this, would you be taking ideas from the original plans back in 1980 (ie. YOUR New Mutants, reuniting the Original team, the final fate of Jean, etc.) or just go off with totally new ideas?

Richard, I can't answer for Mr. Byrne, of course, but I write some fan fiction; and personally, I enjoy writing the most when I start with an idea, and let it have its own life. If it follows a planned course, or if it leads to new exciting ideas... I hate to force a story.

Of course, Mr. Byrne is a professional, so he does it right.

Well it's clear that Mr.Byrne has decided to start with something totally different to the post-Byrne X-Men. Although some people have posted in other sites some comments about Mr.Byrne apparent "insistence" in using the same scenario of the Savage Land (used in his X-Men, in the Hidden Years and now).
Maybe he decided to start with something classic/familiar to the readers as he did with Diablo when he started in the Fantastic Four or the Leader in Hulk.

The question may be in this alternate reality: What happens with the post-Dark Phoenix material still by Mr.Byrne? Some stories could be still posible (the Alpha Flight story? the Demon story with Kitty?) with some minor changers, while others could be totally ignored or greatly modified to work in this new scenario. All will totally depend on what direction Mr.Byrne wants to follow but we shouldn't worry because surely Mr.Byrne knows perfectly what direction works better.
