Oh, even after all these decades, I still have to give Storm to Dave!

Regarding how this all resolved itself; relish your ignorance as I do. It is kinda fun to wonder how they will get out of this mess and I do it, but something tells me whatever I guess will fall short. Remember that the original plan was to make Dark Phoenix a reoccurring villain, but it’s anyone’s guess what JB does to our brains. ;)
I wonder when Storm decides to dispense with the kindness approach. Whatever happens, a battle with Dark Phoenix should be spectacular.

I understand, especially as Dave was responsible for many of the character designs (which are so iconic) for the X-Men and others (like Ms. Marvel, I believe?)and he was one of the greats.
I will add that I forgot to mention, since the ladies are drawn so well (and sometimes distract me a bit), that I also find your drawing of Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler second to none as well. That's true for many, many other characters across a host of comic books but you get the point, I hope...

The pain/anguish on Storm's face is another image I cannot imagine inked.

I have a feeling Jahf's counsel will be part of how they (and Jean) defeat Phoenix but I'm glad the floral arrangement word bouquet in the first go around was kept to a minimum (Claremont would have taken five paragraphs for Storm's sisterly appeal).

One of my major frustrations, working with him, was that he would so often write a scene other than how I intended.

JB,
I know there are many iconic shots of Dark Phoenix that you'd drawn during the DP Saga, but the shot you drew in the first panel of today's page is incredible. I think it's my new favorite!
And I'd say this may be my favorite page of Elsewhen, except you've been making me a liar on nearly a daily basis.
Please keep making me a liar. I am loving this.

I'm staying tooned as well! I used to think that I am hanging on every page, but
this Phoenix story has me hanging on every panel. This sequence with Storm
is heart wrenching.

One thing that strikes me: we all (think we) know what the X-Men are fighting--the Phoenix entity bonded to the replica of Jean it created back when. X-Men like Storm and Professor X are trying to reach Jean on that basis, when this replica isn't quite their friend and comrade.
What's going to happen when they realize what they've been fighting?
