I see that some of these recent collections have JB content in them. I picked up The Rocketeer one, and that has a JB story in it. I think there are several Star Trek collections that are including JB stories. I intend to get those as well. These are nice editions IMO, comparable to the DC Compact Comics line, and Marve Premiere Collection line. Waiting for JB material in those…

Had not heard about this line yet. The Rocketeer volume seems to include all of Dave Stevens' work as well as the two Rocketeer Adventures mini-series? Is that correct?

I guess I'm behind the times - why should they be boycotted?

One of their editors allied for a boycott of JB when Elsewhen was released.
On false grounds, but she was very public about it.

JB: "Shouldn't these be boycotted?"

"Everything John Byrne says is a lie, but if everything he says is a lie then he is telling the truth, but he cannot tell the truth because everything he says is a lie, but... he lies, he tells the truth, but he cannot for he l... Illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are John Byrne! Only John Byrne can explain his behavior! Please explain!"

Yes. One of the more absurd boycotts in recent memory.
For once, no one took the bait. I was very happy to see you achieve very high sales for a 40 dollar book.

Abrams just released a Marvel Arts Alex Ross book of all new material for $29.99. I am sure it sold fine (I bought a copy), but it certainly didn't create the industry and mainstream buzz like Elsewhen, nor has there been public announcement of multiple printings (maybe they printed more to begin with, just observing.)
Not a slight to Ross' efforts, I admire his work. To me, it adds context to the true event that was the release of Elsewhen. Here's to hoping book 2 and 3 sustain the excitement!
