By internal logic, the whole thing is a “What If..?”

All the inks (except the heads on the first cover) are on blueline.

Correction: I added a page to give Jahf’s background to possible newcomers (a flashback to my first issue) and that I inked over the actual pencils.

Very cool, thx!
Love the rarity, reminds me of the one page you inked of George’s X-MEN ANNUAL #3.

Hey, once published, this is officially no longer fan fic, right?
*********
That has been suggested.Kind of makes me a bit sad. ********** Could this be considered a graphic novel, since the individual issues were never published separately?

Abrams is identifying each volume as a “graphic novel”.As I mentioned, I am editing the work to turn the "issues" into chapters, with a more cohesive flow. Issue titles become chapter titles, issue numbers become chapter numbers.

Seeing at least one fellow professional—who should know better—declaring it “unconscionable” that Terry Austin wasn’t brought in to ink this. For the record, Chris Ryall reached out to Terry who politely declined. His reasons were good enough for me. (No guessing please.)

“It’s Unconscionable! You know, as in ‘If it doesn’t happen even if I think it
should, then it’s unconscionable!’”

I saw one poster—not a pro—declaring he will not buy this because of the absence of Terry and Glynis.Why not go for the trifecta and demand Chris script the whole thing? sigh The object of the exercise has clearly been lost on some.
