Whereas I love the commission, the description of where the story would have gone shows why I like JB as a writer - just a brilliant ending.

Love this -- and I love the "M" on their belts (even if it does look like an envelope).

For those interested, here's a site that has an excerpt from The Art of John Byrne's interview about the proposed storyline: http://marvel1980s.blogspot.com/2012/06/1980-art-of-john-byr ne.html

I guess something bad must have happened to Toad in this story! Cool cover.

After reading the Art of John Byrne and not seeing the What if story printed my friend and I did our version. We used the plot given in the Art of John Byrne book. Needless to say JB's version would have been far superior to the work of two 12 year old kids. In our little 12 year old brains we had worked with JB. I still have it. The silly things kids will do. That commision is one of my favorites. Too cool.

Was the issue number decided on? Just curious as to what # was picked, if any.

Drifting thru the Gallery this morning, I came to this piece and realized there may be a basic flaw in my execution of this concept. As seen in Wanda and Pietro, NONE of the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, excepting Magneto himself, wore masks.Cyclops doesn't have a whole lot of choice about the visor, of course, but I wonder --- should Jean and Hank be bare faced? Warren sort of is. . .
