I get the sense that, as noted, some folks just want something to grouse about.

People seem to be enjoying the utter failure of Heather Antos to inspire a boycott of ELSEWHEN—the book having sold out in preorders TWICE before she even got started.

But the internet being what it is, that’s not enough. Like a raging wildfire, the story has been leaping from branch to branch, warping and mutating until some now insist the success of ELSEWHEN is BECAUSE of Ms Antos’ “boycott“!

Maybe I should send her a box of chocolates?

Odd to see a number of posts online from people asking “how to start reading” ELSEWHEN. One even asked if he should start with UNCANNY X-MEN 1–from 1963!

I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve been producing new material (tho the reprints continue to flow out of DC and Marvel), but have people really forgotten what to expect from a John Byrne comic?

I’ve talked many times over the years of how I address the fact that “every issue is the first issue for somebody.” How my multi-part stories include what I hope are unobtrusive recaps. How I have the characters called by as many variations on their names as seems reasonable. And plenty of manifestations of their powers.

So, to start reading one of my books—including ELSEWHEN—open the cover and turn to the first page!
