There sure has been a lot of talk involving the number "12" lately!
XHY was so excellent and feels so recent that I think someone must be mistaken about how long it's been.
...and that someone is me, dammit!

You and Marvel were such a good fit for so long, it really is sad that Marvel has turned into such a bad joke that we won't see you creating comics with their characters again.
The consolation is we still have the wonderful commissions, where the characters are actually of the non-broken-toy variety and the excellent work you are doing with IDW.

Word!
2001 should've been the year I dropped out. Other than XMHY, I think there was nothing really there. If I did, I'd have spared myself what came afterwards.

I finally gave up on the X-Men in Morrison's run.

Marvel still produces some stuff that I like (JRjr, Mark Bagley, the occasional Walt Simonson sighting for example) but I feel like it's more of a happy coincidence than the norm. Past editorial regimes had their issues but you at least felt like they had the spirit of what Stan and Jack and Steve created. This crew seems to have a "do what you want" editorial edict. The characters used to come first, now it's the creators.But you also have a fan base that almost prefers the names under the title to the actual title.

I was just thinking about this as we got to #12 of Hidden Years yesterday. "We" being me, my son (age 9) and daughter (age 7) who are reading all the X-men's in order from #1 - inserting the Hidden Years between #66 and Giant-Size #1. We all are enjoying the series a lot, and I have to say, it fits so well in the saga - seamless. Wish there was more! Thanks!

12 years? Wow. That's been a long time without you on a Marvel book (or DC). Interesting that when I see "IDW", I now immediately associate that with "John Byrne".

Hidden Years was the only X-Men comic I purchased. The others seem hard to understand.
The last cover on Hidden Years is lovely.
