so with 3 issues done and a dozen planned, did you use / create "character sheets" for any new characters you've come up with for this?

And, if you did, how bout teasing us with some of them?

(one of the coolest things about being a kid and reading "The Art of John Byrne" in 1980 were those pages of characters, some with names / titles, some without, and just trying to figure out how they all fit and where)

Have you found that you've had to do any sort of homework for particular characters or storylines?

So if this project DOESN'T happen, we will get to see the unsused issues earlier ??? Is that what they call a win/win situation ? I don't like it.

Let's not worry about what's going to happen, and whether it's fair or not. I mean, do you see a pony ride or a cotton candy/spun sugar booth around here?

I have implicit confidence in Mr. Byrne that he will be treating us as he always does, and if/when he wants us to see this items, he will. Surely he'll treat us right... we are his biggest fans here,.

Speaking of the Danger Room...

I am looking forward to a room with crazy death machines again, instead of virtual reality scenes of Sentinels, or worse.

Since I am geeking out and all.

Well.......

One of the things I want to avoid here is anachronisms. Not in the sense of stuff that would not have been around in the 1980s, but in the sense of 1980s stuff that would seem clunky and outmoded today. So, sure, smartphones. Flatscreen TVs. Modern cars. Fashions.

The Danger Room? Well, to be honest, I'm not a fan of the Danger Room. The idea that Xavier would LITERALLY place his students in mortal danger just in the way of TRAINING them? Eep!

So, if the DR turns up, it will probably be a lot less in the form of "crazy death machines".

(This, of course, would be another element that would drive a certain kind of potential readers nutz, as they try to cross reference everything from the Eighties with ELSEWHEN.)

I always felt that way about the danger room. I Thought it was pretty extreme for training students - one wrong move and it's curtains! I remember Kitty accidentally walked in and all hell broke loose trying to save her.

Neal Adams and John Byrne made the Danger Room worth visiting. I really
found it underwhelming in anyone else's hands.

As a concept, it seems strange if we actually imagine an X-Man dying in there.
But in the right hands, it has yielded several unforgettable sequences.

I would love to see another, but if this series happens and the Danger Room
just never comes up, I bet I won't miss it.
