          Please remove this post if it's a problem at all, but I wanted to communicate anticipating that there could be a problem with people getting this and then selling printed volumes unfortunately. Generally for some pin-ups/commissions, or unknown fan comics, this wouldn't be an issue, but this is a well known artist unofficially revisiting with complete stories and is new territory I think for comics (but very old ground for recorded music).

 If this were a problem a solution could be that Marvel makes it an official free download/streaming feature through their web domain or something like that. That would really take a bootlegger's chance of bilking fans that don't know about the work otherwise out of the equation.
 
 Trying to be helpful as I am wanting to read/see these very much!

          I see the view count on the actual thread has jumped dramatically. Frustrating that I can’t keep the “feed” going until Optimum rectifies whatever needs rectifying!!

          There’s nothing we mortals can create that can’t be turned to evil. Efforts to prevent misuse of these pages would undoubtedly prove fruitless.

 |  Involving Marvel in the process would serve only to drag in all the elements that form the bulk of my reason for choosing this manner of “publication”.

          I just read on social media that some people are talking about creating mock covers for these issues, so they can print them and have them in their comic collections. I thought that was kinda cool.

          Interesting. I don’t recall JB saying he had done any covers. Wonder if any have been done.

          Imagine some "fan fic" covers for the issues by other X-artists? Maybe I should say X-Men artists? The mind boggles...

 |  your generosity in sharing so much of your work and time for free. This
 is a staggering undertaking on your behalf and I hope that fact is not
 taken for granted. Thank you.
 
 That said, these last two days with your internet down have been
 excruciating although,conversely, the last time days seemed this long to
 me I was about 7, so there is that, I guess.

          Still no internet. Received an email from Optimum apologizing for missing the “appointment” yesterday and crediting me for two free movies on Pay per View.

          Cut cable!  Looks like my lawn service guys must have been digging and severed the line. Problem is, all the lines in the neighborhood are UNDERGROUND.
