I am anxiously waiting for all these threads to be woven together into a beautiful horrible tapestry of impending doom.•• As I found myself tumbling toward the end of this story arc, I realized the wrap-up I had in mind might read to some as a bit of a deus ex machina, but the parts have been in place all along, so I decided to damn the torpedoes and just go with it. You'll all be there, soon. We'll find out then what the general consensus will be!

Love the countdown to the next page in prep for the separation of two entities. Something tells me Kitty and Astra won’t be just as they were prior to joining, but time will tell!

Even Lee-Kirby resorted to "deus" here and there, so that's precedent in good company!

JB, Do you still use the same working schedule for writing/drawing ELSEWHEN that you have done throughout your career?

JB: One of the things that intrigues me about Wolverine is that his mutant healing doesn’t come with a painkiller. He feels everything that happens to him.

Though it wasn't a great depiction of the characters, 2000's X-MEN did have a nice moment between Logan and Rogue where she asks if he feels the claws punch through his skin... and he says quietly, "Every time."

What's awesome about this Elsewhen series is when you drew the last issue, it'll be the final word for many of the fans of your Uncanny, Hidden Years and now Elsewhen runs. You, in the minds of many of us, will set these characters in their final position for years to come.
Pretty cool how you got these guys running around in our imaginations again!

You, in the minds of many of us, will set these characters in their final position for years to come. ••• Sadly, even tho ELSEWHEN isn’t “real” experience has taught there are plenty of folk at Marvel who would take any opportunity to use the published books to undercut my work here. And that’s without even factoring in the anal retentive fanboys who seem unable or unwilling to accept this series for what it is.

Re: today's page - woah! way to craft a cliff-hanger! Am just relieved it didn't pause here on a Friday! ;-) Excited (and a tad nervous) to see where this goes!

JB, it's safe to say that your real fans will be on board for whatever you have in store. (We know that deus ex machina doesn't mean alts fleeing from a mechanical eraser wielded by the Hand of Byrne!)

All I can say is that, if Kitty pops out tomorrow with ninja skills, a claw, whiskers, and a penchant for beer and stogies, I... I'll... okay, I don't know WHAT I'll do!
