It hit me today that Kurt's face in the falling sequence looks (to my eye) more
like Cockrum's original design than the one I remember from JB's run.
...which (to me) is a very cool thing.

I was looking at Dave’s work quite a bit on this “issue”.

Suddenly the outage seems like a benefit, with a nice flow of pages to read in a row. If this was available as a regular-sized issue in one go, I would burn through it straightaway.
Remember when you used to come back with a pile of comics from the LCS and there'd always been one obvious candidate to be the one you consumed immediately? This would be that comic.
Shame we lost the what's adamantium? line, but it all reads so smoothly. So glad we'll be getting to read more regularly.

Wow! Page 2 in particular!
We're not worthy.
Yes, they sound like themselves again to me too.

Ooohhhhhh indeed!As I mention before, in ELSEWHEN I am playing much the same game that I played in STAR TREK NEW VISIONS, setting my tales in "the Past", but allowing myself access to elements that were not known the first time around.

Right from the start, this bit of Fan-Fic does something vitally professional: it respects the principle that every issue is somebody's first. I was looking at the pages thus far as if I had no clue about any of these characters, yet with a minimum of exposition quite a bit of grounding information is offered immediately.
I was a reader of this vintage of the X-MEN -- but if JB happens to draw in elements from after my time (circa 1981), because of this first-issue principle, I've no worries I'll be lost. Nice!

Even though we've seen this pages before, the art looks fresh looking at it again. Struck by the sheer size of Colossus in the page posted today and the jet is drawn so tightly, no need for inks when the pencils are that tight.

I am a HUGE fan of serial storytelling. I think reading/writing "for the trade"
has hurt the comic industry in some ways, and I think we've lost something
with the ability to "binge" television shows. There is something magical (and
even IMPORTANT) about having to wait a week (or, in the case of comics, a
month) for the next installment of a story. It gives the audience time to think
about it, to talk about it with other fans, to anticipate and get excited.
So, to have a single page every day of JB's X-Men... this is really something
special.
