In his responses that guy from Xavierfiles is kind of a douche. And Newsarama is as inaccurate in their reporting as every internet amateur.
However, it is gratifying they know JB is a giant.
I predict Marvel will call soon.
Either with an offer or a cease-and-desist!

Wouldn't it be nice if whatever has gone before, someone in a position of
power at Marvel who loves and respects the characters there, and recognizes
what a mindful caretaker John Byrne has been of every one he has
written over the years, would reach out and do what needs to be done to bring
this series home?

Pardon my meandering thoughts...
When I was a kid, Marvel seemed like a big happy family filled with
employees who liked and respected one another and had fun producing
the terrific tales we loved. Whatever may have been going on inside the
company, a positive feeling of mutual respect and teamwork is what was
projected.
Over the years, that fantasy has been dispelled as the curtain is pulled further
and further aside (and all but yanked off) to reveal a reality that isn't quite so
sunny.
Now I’m certainly not saying I’d prefer to live in a fantasy world, but it would be
wonderful to feel like some of that joviality had returned.

Wallace's post(s) is excellent, and I appreciate the sentiment.
(regardless of the contrast between our posts where I call a guy a douche and Wallace is all feel-goody!)

 Hi all! I've just joined this thread all so I can throw my hat into the ring. I have always wanted the chance to ink JB and when I saw these awesome pencils, well, I just HAD to give it a go! I think this elsewhen story is really awesome and exciting. I'd like to ink more pages (just for the sheer coolness of it!) but its a little hard to see the pencils once I print them out. Is there any way I could get a little higher rez so I could do more? JB, thanks for doing this! I've been a long time fan of yours. I tried to get on an assignment with you over the years at DC (where I have done most of my inking assignments) but it never came to be! So, this is me scratching one off the bucket list!!

I see the internet commentary has already taken a turn into exaggerated and inaccurate descriptions of this Forum. We're "weird" it seems. I wonder if any of those posters own mirrors.

John Stanisci, from what I can see of the work you've
done............... the finer details are lost at the reduced image
size...........OUTSTANDING job! Do you have a website of your
own that has a pic at a higher resolution.......i'm anxious to see it
in a bit more detail......... alot of what you had to tackle on that
page, Kitty's hair, the foliage are very interpretive and I think
you handled those aspects really well. My only critique, from
what I can see, are the "thickish" speed lines, mostly from panel
4, I could maybe see those being toned back a bit thinner, but
thats just an individual preference. Nicely done man.
