Small tingle of sadness realizing we'll never get to see you draw Phoenix again except in flashbacks....•• Wellllllllllll… Remember, we intended Phoenix to become a recurring villain. *** Was that always the case though since you started on the X-Men title? I recall reading some sort of interview at the time ("Phoenix: The Untold Story" perhaps?) stating that Jean's power boost as Phoenix was originally conceived of simply to raise her to a class/level of heroes like Thor, which granted still has its challenges in terms of how she would fit in to a team book, but I can't help but wonder if the Phoenix could have worked as a hero if all the "Dark Phoenix" and "cosmic entity possession" stuff hadn't been thrown into the mix. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I too am really enjoying what you're doing with this whole Elsewhen book, especially the Jean / Phoenix developments. I find this story far more compelling than what was actually done with (to) them back in the 80s (e.g. Madeline Pryor, X-Factor, Nathan Christopher Summers, etc.)
