That last panel... You are truly amazing at depicting energy effects, JB!

I steal from the best! Kirby and Kubert are my go-to sources!

JB: Now I’m thinking if/when I run out of ideas on ELSEWHEN, I should start a new “imaginary series” telling the backstory on some of these commissions!

Sounds like a fantastic idea! Each one an issue-length "done in one" or... well, wherever your muse takes you. :-D

I love that the Silver Surfer is now part of this story...!

Y'know, we are in the Marvel Byrneverse now - maybe the Invaders came across the JSA during WW2...

This may be the only instance I can think of where a deus ex machina not only makes perfect sense but also amps it all up for me like crazy. I can practically hear the orchestral fanfare.

It's funny that I do not at all mind the Silver Surfer
becoming a part of this story, nor would I have minded
(in fact, I would've loved!) his involvement, as well as
Dr. Strange's, etc., back in 1980... yet, I never didn't
resent Lilandra's mucking in the X-Men's business.
I know that doesn't truly make sense. The Shi'ar were
always part of the X-MEN comicbook (albeit they never
fit, in my opinion), and Dark Phoenix did lethally lash
out at them directly, and yet... I could never shake the
feeling that they were messing about in something just
too personal.
But I don't mind the Silver Surfer helping out! Maybe
because the Surfer's motives wouldn't be anything but
pure, it's OK? Maybe because he too is a cosmic
entity...?

Don’t think of the Surfer as a deus ex machina, peoples. This is still the X-Men’s story, and the denouement belongs to them!

Since this is fanfic and not for sale, JB is at liberty to do anything he likes. A follow up to BATMAN/CAPTAIN AMERICA would be amazing, as would TALES FROM GENERATIONS (or maybe MIND THE GENERATIONS GAPS), if he felt inclined to revisit his centuries-spanning story of Superman and Batman with a few fill-in stories.

He could even do a one-issue BLACK FOX or YANKEE CLIPPER. I know I'd love to see those characters again.

As mentioned above by others, the idea of creating full stories around some of the commissions we've seen over the years would be awesome to see, and again, like this current experiment of JB's, probably without precedent.
I'll resist the urge, however, to give a list of what I'd like to see- it's way too long and I don't want to come off greedy.
JB- that reverse-Kirby crackle effect you're doing with your electric eraser is really spectacular-looking. I'm one of the people out there inking Elsewhen pages, and I'm looking at this last page, saying to myself, 'Okay, put down the pen and just slowly back away...'

Inking the electric eraser effects should be fairly easy. Get yourself some liquid mask, and paint over the white blobs. Then ink the black parts as you would normally, right over the mask. Erase the finished panel, and the mask will come off, leaving the “reverse krackle”.
