My vote would go for separate threads for each issue!

Has the format had any impact on how you're designing the pages, JB? Are there any double page spreads or splashes?

There’s a double page spread close to the end of this issue. I’ve already figured a way to make it work.

I thought of something that's missing... only I don't miss it. Storm having a flashback about her childhood triggered by seeing jungle plants! I like the flow of this story a lot so far, a page turner with the characters fully focused on what's happening when it's happening. 

I wonder if that unused splash page for the discarded #138 that Tim O'Neill mentions might fit in somewhere along the way? It was a really nice scene. If not we can still imagine it took place somewhen between panels of this story.

What I'm liking most is how "on model" all the characters feel to me. Professor Xavier seems his older scholarly self, Cyclops certainly looks like "Slim" Summers, Storm is practically regal, Colossus looks ridiculously powerful, Nightcrawler seems a bit "creepier," Wolverine is back to his compact self, and Kitty is every bit a gangly and awkward teenaged girl. Lilandra and the other Shi'ar even had that hint of "birdness" about them while still being humanoid-adjacent.

So many times these days character forms seem to be off an assembly line with only differences in heads, hair. You can get a feel for how these characters are mutants and why the X-Men are just different from the rest of the Marvel heroes who should be more assembly line-ish imo. These are the *outsiders* of the Marvel Universe and you can feel the differences in mutants vs. science experiments gone wrong or right as the case may be!

In his first appearance MODOK was shown to be an ordinary guy who had been artificially mutated by AIM.

Huh, forgot all about this.  Have to break out my old TOS... as I recall, Iron Man had an enjoyable battle with Titanium Man (fun Colan art) in the other story.

Reading ELSEWHEN so far is simply fun!

Great art, great story, great to see the characters I grew up with again.  The only downside is when I realized that JB has been entertaining me for (shudder) 42 years now.

This is most engaging X-Men I've read in decades.  That's a spectacular MODOK, BTW.

I'm sure this is something I should know after having read comics for 45 years but what does the "75 degrees" written in the left margin on page 12 and the "60 degrees" on page 18 mean?

Those are for any potential inker, describing the angle of the ellipses.
