Marvel must be kicking themselves in the butt, since they had the opportunity to publish Elsewhen and fumbled the ball.

Marvel really should publish a companion Elsewhen prequel book with the original version of X-Men 137 and a reconstructed original version of X-Men 138. 

I doubt it would happen but it would be cool.

My copy is on the way, Amazon says, along with the LEGENDS omnibus. So lots of JB goodness headed my way.

I know you don’t hold the LEGENDS gig as a high point of your career, but
for this fan, the first time seeing all these DC characters I knew (and even
more I didn’t) being drawn by you, well, that was a great time to be a 13-
year-old comics fan. Yes, nostalgia is a powerful drug, but you can at least
be assured that your end of the package will stand the test of time whereas
other aspects may not.

Aww man, got mine today. The last copy on the shelf. (Leaving only the one in the window!)  I cant quite put into words the great feeling of  taking that home with me today. Y'know coming to life out of the screen as an actual book. In my early days on this forum, I looked at it a couple of times to see some of the art, then I held off in the hope that someday it would be printed as a comic book. And finally today my deferred gratification paid off, and I got my wish!

It was like a return to my childhood. (Who says you can't go home again!) And the characters the way that I discovered them, before so many silly choices and changes were made. I mean sooo great to see Wolverine in the proper brown and tan outfit, and what felt like my versions of Cyclops, Storm, Kitty etc, back in character in brand new stories with me having no idea of how they would go. What plots and twists might lay ahead. I'm actually only about a third of the way through it. (67 pages to the point where a certain other super hero shows up.) As I'm really savouring it. But I'll probably read some more tonight, if not all of it.

But just wanted to say thanks to JB. This book is pure joy, given form. (And good choice for the paper quality too.) 

I'm just so grateful that you did this and then let it be shared in this way. Absolutely love it! Thanks again!

Much to my surprise and delight, Amazon Canada still had a
few in stock - mine will arrive by Tuesday!

And Legends, if nothing else, shot Karl Kesel very high on
my list of inkers that I like seeing on JB.
