Thanks JB!

Awesome two page gift drop!  I may not care for Gladiator personally, but there is no doubt JB is a master in rendering him.  That face is absolutely perfect!

Narratively there needs to be a fight, but surely if Gladiator stopped to think about it he would realize that if Jean *were* still dark phoenix there is no way they could have captured her so easily.  

Jean does look lovely (especially in that first panel) -gosh its great to have JB drawing her again...

Are the "alternate" team called the M-men (for Magneto) I wonder?

Thanks, John, for a island of goodness in a sea of awful that is/was 2020 and I wish you (and all posters) a hopefully better new year.

My sentiments also, Paul - it really is a privilege to see such masterful talent applied so well, and what's more with creative insight alongside ; as has already been said by others, Elsewhen has been a real highlight throughout 2020.

I've been thinking of late that - for me - the series has been key to a wide-scale 'rehabilitation' of the X-Men in my mind. Having enjoyed the 'all-new' run from around late 1975, I began to lose interest in the X-books somewhere around the mid-1980's ( probably the Mutant Massacre or thereabouts ), and really came to dislike not only the overblown direction the stories increasingly took, but even the heroes themselves in the end.

Elsewhen though has firmly reminded me that these are great, entertaining characters when they're handled well and with respect, and they've proved a pleasure to be around - it's like being welcomed back into the company of a bunch of dear friends that I've not seen in far too long a time.

JB -  sincere thanks for all of the enjoyment you've given us with Elsewhen during 2020, and Happy New Year to you - and all fellow JBF members.

Thank you and Happy New Year.
