Thanks Philippe. Nope, at 43 I think I’m to old for a career change but I’ve really liked having a go and with the technology available, it makes all of this pretty easy compared to when I drew before. Anyway, drawing pretty pictures is one thing, producing good sequential art is another.

I love love love the writing in your captions that we have from when it was your
practice to write them.
Your thought balloons were also a specific treat, in my opinion.
Please Yes

An effect of this scripting exercise is that I have decided to tease my “readers” a bit and move a tweaked version of the Jean page, involving Scott and Xavier, to the imaginary “second issue”.

I bet that's a nice luxury not having to deal with deadlines and having time to ponder various scenarios.

Late to the party, but I also vote YES on narrative captions

In another thread I commented (yet again) that one of the things that caused me to quit UNCANNY X-MEN was the way Chris wrote the characters. I felt they were very much, well, off character, but his version was what the fans were seeing and embracing, so I realized if I didn't like those versions, it meant I didn't like the X-Men. Time to leave!It occurs to me now that this will almost certainly be one of the complaints against ELSEWHEN, should it become a real series. "How can you let Byrne do this! He doesn't even like the characters!"

Noticing this thread is 66 pages long! Not bad for a book that doesn't exist!!

Since I can't stop playing with this in my head, I also can't stop myself working out details of format for "future issues".Such as, I've been wondering if this "start in the middle" approach would work on a monthly basis, or if it would get old fast. When I was in my teens there was a detective show called THE OUTSIDER that took this approach, taking a scene from deep in the story and using it as the pre-credits teaser. I thought that was pretty cool. Having narrative captions would, of course, make it easy to bridge between timeframes. Wish I could stop thinking about this stuff!!!!!!!

BREAKING BAD did that pretty often - opened the show with a teaser of a scene that presents a wild scenario, then spend the rest of the episode showing how it got there. One season premiere episode started with a scene that didn't pan out until the series finale the following season!

One season premiere episode started with a scene that didn't pan out until the series finale the following season! •• Hm. Didn't know that about BREAKING BAD. I suppose if I make it a motif in ELSEWHEN, I'll be accused of copying from that show, the same way microbrains said breaking the fourth wall in SHE-HULK was ripping off MOONLIGHTING.
