          I'm still trying to figure out what you did to create such vitriol.

 |  Is it because you're a dedicated pro who wants the characters and stories to stay true to its roots without being watered down? I say you must be doing something right because you have a ton of fans (that also includes pro's in the industry). |

 |  ••• Looking at the comments under the YouTube videos it’s easy to see the majority are positive. Sadly, as seen above, this doesn’t cause the naysayers to change their minds. (Perhaps they think it hurts?) Rather the Bashers will grid their lions and insist those with something good to say are “sucking up”—tho no one seems able to explain what that would gain for them. Free membership in the JBF, maybe?

          It would be a sad day if marvel didn't publish this . I'm sure your fans outweigh the trolls 100:1. On any topic on youtube,twitter,etc there is always negative , hurtful comments .

          If it doesn’t get published, will you be selling the pages?

 I hate this kind of crap. I can't think of anything off
 hand I would not want published, no matter how much I
 hate it. I would rather let it stand on it's own and
 fail or succeed on it's own.

 |  ••• Either way, eventually. Tho I am somewhat loathe to release pencils into an environment where a purchaser is likely to want to get them inked, usually with little regard to the skill of the inker. (“My cousin wants to be an inker, so I let him practice...”)

          Another instance where the "vocal minority" may have persuasive powers.I say we on the forum rally our forces, and let our voices be heard!

          Be sure that i, for one, want to see it published. There are very few new comics i read these days, because in the vast majority of the cases i don't like the way they are done, and for those i like, way to often there are references to what the shared universe they're set in has become, and those are references to things that should not be and make me angry.

 |  So i basicly moved to reading Marvel Epic Collections (+ one DC monthly series) , giving me the occasion to get issues that weren't accessible anymore when i was a kid/teen, and later were accessible only in black and white Essentials or expensive hardcovers (Masterworks). A new series by you, and particularly since from what i can see it is a version of you i like, is a joy. You seem to be creatively in a good shape, and doing something that also corresponds to my tastes, so that series, if it comes to print, will be more than welcome. |

          I am baffled by the people that would actively woek against the publication of this book. A common theme on this board is how comics were better decades ago because of the professional involved with the stories, characters and books themselves. Here is a book from arguably one of the top three comic book writers every and the FIRST write anyone thinks of to "fix" a comic book. So naturally there are people trying to make this go away. I certainly want to see several artist edition volumes of this book. My guess is there are enough issues so far for two artist editions (roughly 10-12 issues).

          There’s a certain irony in that people still holding a grudge against JB for leaving X-MEN forty years ago are now screaming that he shouldn’t be allowed to do a new X-MEN book.
