JB: Not just mutant killing, this time!
--
Hadn't thought of this before... but since this is "your timeline", I suppose the death of ANY character is actually possible, correct?
When we read this series, the stakes will be higher -- for the X-Men and anyone who guest stars.

JB,
Looking at that panel Nathan posted has me thinking.
Since the Ghost Rider is a mystical being, can a Sentinel actually kill him?
Thanks

Awesome page! Thank you for sharing.
About Projet:Wideawake, I always assumed the last page of issue 142 told us it was the sentinel program that was going to lead to the future the X-Men tried to prevent and that somehow they failed...

The point of that scene was that the bleak Future had been rewritten, but here in the Present the THREAT still remained. That's what I'm addressing in my story.

I think I am more excited about the continuation of Project Wideawake than I am about the continuation of Jean's story. I understand they may not be mutually exclusive.

Project Wideawake—I took the back half of the name from an unrelated BBC serial seen when I was a child in England—was intended to be a long-running subplot, maintaining the Sentinels as a background (with occasional flare-ups) menace, and reminding readers that the SPECIFIC event that led to “Days of Future Past” might have been prevented, but there were other paths that could lead to the same destination. This, of course, went right out the window when Chris decided to have the X-Men FAIL again. ELSEWHEN will be taking a very different course.

All I can think is to quote John Denver: "Far out!"
Love the identical Sentinels, love them coming out of hibernation (thinking of the Tomb Of The Cybermen too, one of my favorite old Doctor Who stories). Just love these pages and these kinds of comics telling this kind of fun story... there is often more in one page than in entire issues these days, but it flows so organically (unlike some of the cramped and crammed with text British comics I've seen of the '60s and early '70s however well rendered).
Rule for art... if it works it's good, if it doesn't work then it's bad, so you can basically do or try anything so long as it works. If someone badly traces something it's going to be just that, if they trace something well then it's what that is, and if they cop some riffs as it were and do it so well nobody notices then they are just doing what great and skilled artists have done for centuries, maybe even millennia... I mean wait until someone digs up a Greek statue dated earlier than the Venus de Milo with arms and baskets of fruit; will they take the famous statue out of display and put it there?
This could really re-ignite the stoke in lapsed comic readers of our age as well as be accessible to non-fans, and maybe even be a positive influence where Dark Knight and Watchmen got to be too influential. A much needed restoration of balance?
