JB, would you expect an inker in this case to leave the photoshopped part as is?

I would have to say that page 19 would be one of the most difficult pages to ink on a board.so many effects layered onto the page. If two pages are coming after this one then my money is on a double page spread. Talk about a page Turner, wowsers.

You'll be getting TWO pages tomorrow--and my own feeling is that "doozy" will not even cover it. . . . . . . .

That page should be an oil painting! Wow is right!
Just awesome.
EDIT: Also striking is how different this Jean looks from 5-year-old Jean. It's so much more than the hair. Body-language...eyes...everything.

JB, wonderful job on the facial expressions in particular! All around great art, too!
About Kitty and the kiss: Because of how Kitty touched her head, I pictured the kiss being on her forehead whenever I read it years ago. Honestly, especially as a kid, it never entered my mind that her adult version would kiss her on the lips.
Back to ELSEWHEN: Looking forward to see what happens next!!

How Chris came to write it aa he did I’ll never know—at least not beyond his standard “That was how I felt when I scripted it” response. He always had that one locked and loaded. As I have noted before, it’s stuff like this that puts the lie to any real sense of “collaboration”.

Oh, I certainly understand the real reason you had Kitty's hand on her head now, after knowing the background. But especially as a kid, knowing nothing of that background info, and basing what was in the art on what I read in the panel, that is how I originally interpreted the scene.
In a related matter, I definitely see your point about the scene where Colossus was pulling up the stump. Even as a kid I wondered how a stump would give him such a challenge given the other feats of strength we saw with him.

Mr. Byrne, as this series goes further and further, I can see that you might be hampered by the addition of an inker. At first, the pencils, while beautiful, looked a bit unfinished. But time passes, and the current pages are so stylish, so sharp, so descriptive that I suspect you need NO inking on them; and that those inks might even diminish the artwork. And double that for a colorist.
Your artistry is a true delight. Thank you once again.
