It’s refreshing to see so many of you actually pleased to have been “kept guessing”. Over the years I got SO weary of letters—and then internet posts—from people who considered it a MISTAKE when the stories didn’t go as they expected!!

Amazing build up. Your a true master in story telling. Why can't Marvel see the light like you do JB?
Was that a alien paramedic moving in to put Scott on a stretcher ? ***My error that is the Silver Surfer
Looking forward to Monday :)
Thank you for the extra page today :)

I love the movement of the camera on this last page. We pull out from Scott and Jean, and suddenly everyone who loves them comes into frame... and then someone is behind *us*.
But who??

This format is so much more satisfying - slowing down the pace of the reader. Like the newspaper strips but on a grander scale!Also, since you're conscious of no inker, your use of shadows and highlights are absolutely wonderful

Arrrrrrrgh! September 7! Damn cruel calendar.
(How spoiled we are. Used to be we would have to wait 30 days for new JB X-Men . . . then a few decades . . . and now a little over a week is unbearable.)
Great story, great last page, and the best last-panel cliffhanger I can think of in a long time. I picture JB doing his best evil laugh as he typed "September 7" . . .

from people who considered it a MISTAKE when the stories didn’t go as they expected!!----------------------------------------------- I think it helps when the pieces all add up in hindsight, as they do here. Once all the pieces are in place, the reader can see that everything makes sense. For example, Jean's top is left behind. We saw before when she got shot that the top she was wearing got holes, but she didn't. The clothes were separate -- normal clothes. So this is all satisfyingly consistent.

Hit me the way the "ashing" of Peter Parker did in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Right in the feels.
