Also....

Interesting article posted there.  Never saw it before.
I'll never agree with Claremont that his version of Jean is akin to the Thomas/Adams version.  That version is stronger in her use of powers, perhaps, but her basic personality was the same as earler..
Claremont's Jean, the characters mentioned a number of times how much she's changed.  I just think he writes REALLY strong women in general.

Also interesting all the different scenarios that were discussed.  I was unaware of several of them as well.

I picked up P:TUS back when it was first published.  I really appreciated that something like that had been put out at all.  I'd love to see more "Behind the Comics" features like that ... why things were done, other directions that were considered ... even done in a video interview format ala Classic Albums or Behind the Music.

"That may be the most subtle expression of "their old stuff was better" I have yet seen!"

No disrespect intended John - and it probably tells you more about me than it does about the industry.  I grew up in the era of you, Chris and Terry (X-men), you (FF / Superman), Miller (DD / Batman) and Simonson (Thor) so I guess i was more than a little spoilt and it resonates with me the most.

I've tried on more than occasion to get myself back into buying comics regularly and have failed....although I do need to pick up your new Next Men run!...some of my respect for that body of work is context (i was younger, less cynical, but still appreciated incredible art), some of it is nostalgia (the feel of getting the comics, the excitement of waiting to see what happened next etc) and part of it was being able to dive into a completely different universe just for an hour or so every month to see whats been going on.

Does anyone know if it'd be easy to get that Comics Feature posted in the last page?
