          Chris and I did an issue focusing on Xavier, and were resoundingly excoriated by many readers. “Let us know when you’re going to be doing stories about the X-MEN again!”

 |  Intensity of action/moment and pace of story is still SO good. I'm hanging on every page! Bravo.

          Philippe, so far JB has updated 16 pages across issues 12 - 16. Most of the pages only had one or two panels that needed changing.

 Mr. Byrne, please don't let Marvel know you do this. They will start doing it on purpose and re-issuing it with a new cover variant on every title! ;-)

          Haha! You should really pay that guy more. Maybe let him keep some of the pages 🤣

          I really do wonder if ELSEWHEN will start a trend. I don't know that other artists have the discipline and/or drive to do such a project.

 |  •• Almost two years.  Don't trends start faster than that? Decades ago, when the job finally started paying Real Money, Roger Stern commented that our "generation" was sort of lucky, because we'd come in when it was basically slave wages*, and we came because we loved the form. A long way from later arrivals, who only wanted to do first issues, and only on HOT books. ____________________ *  An oxymoron?

          Your love and respect for the medium more than shows here JB. These "later arrivals" could learn a few things here.
