I have no paper publishing plans, but custom compilations have been popping up for a while. Look around the web—or look into getting them done yourself.

I'm thrilled with the format within which it's currently being done. It's a real kick to consume a story as it's being created, I was just wondering from a business perspective if there was another component to the delivery that benefits the creator. This seems to be built on good will for the fans, in which case I am even further impressed and thrilled.
Pretty devastating to find that an impostor fooled everyone, even telepaths and those with whom you share a deep psychic bond. Jean is working through some really heavy emotions--and has quite a journey of healing ahead, I imagine. My heart goes out to her.
Great character work, JB. This is a side of Jean's absence that nobody ever explored.
Matt is correct—tho it’s Lorna’s face that I swiped.
One of my absolute all-time favorites and etched into my subconscious because it is so "60's" in some strange, coy way. You did an amazing hommage! Even the language and lettering is so evocative of that time. Very, very nice.
I'm starting to think all your critics may have been wrong about you all this time---you are a nice guy. ;)
I met JB at a con years ago, shortly after MAN OF STEEL came out. I asked if he would autograph my copy of the first issue-- and he DID! Took out a pen, wrote his autograph at the top of the first page and gave it back to me!
...and that's really my only JB "close encounter" story.
That last panel of Jean is indeed a beautiful piece, but I am drawn most to the image of Jean sitting like a real person in a very realistic chair. I love it.

Same here -- and the third panel may be the best Black Queen ever -- which is all the more impressive because it's only from the neck up. I'd bet that very few artists, if limited to a single-panel flashback to capture her essence, would have made that choice.
Wow! I don't think Jean has ever looked better. I love the way she's dressed in her "civilian attire"! Also, that last panel....wow! She looks...hauntingly beautiful, if that's the right description.
ITEM: As I review this point in the X-Men's history, I have a question that came to mind pretty much first time I read it. Jean was accurate in her analysis that no one else - not even Colossus - could survive the radiation from re-entry. But why couldn't she have protected Colossus from the life cell as she had protected herself? Or is that just too easy?
ITEM: James W: "Even then no one guessed that murderous thing wasn't me" But didn't they? I think a considerable treatment of that story was, "That can't be Jean!" "How could this happen to Jeannie?" "It's got to be some kind of fake!" If she knew how disbelieving the X-Men were, maybe she'd feel better about this.
ITEM: Mr. Byrne, I'm impressed how much of a story from over nine issues you squeezed into two or three pages. That's the kind of compression that I like!
ITEM: Mr. Byrne, I loved the "guest" appearances of Angel and Iceman. Dare we hope for more, or is it writing itself as you proceed with it? I have a particular fondness for Banshee and Beast, and we did get one cameo of Sean... just cannot wait for where this goes!!!
