*IF* this is ever published on actual paper I would be thrilled, but in the meantime we can enjoy this FanFic here on the internet...

IF this gets published on paper, the disclaimer would have to take up half the cover,
"THIS STORY DOES NOT FIT INTO YOUR 40-YEAR-OLD COMIC COLLECTION! IT'S JUST FOR FUN!"

Probably still need an explanation on the splash page as well.

An explanation of what "fun" is?

I have absolutly no problem with my childhood's x-men time being now in 2018 or 2019 (if this series happens), and their past being what i read at the time. The Tv will maybe be more flat, Kitty may have a smartphone (or not). Why should it matter? Each issue can reflect the time when it was written. As a reader i simply need to take it as it is. The yesterday of the characters was my (hem) "a few" years ago, but we share the same present.

A simple application of "Marvel Time" puts stories published in 1980 only a couple of years ago. But more importantly, fans need to understand that time in comicbooks is not real. I've pointed out many a time that the three issues it took to tell the First Galactus Trilogy occupied about half a day for the FF. If we add up all the on-camera time from FF1 to the present, we won't find more than fifty years.

Sadly, people who want to document and pigeonhole everything started to get work in the Biz, and eventually reached a point when they were running the Biz. And that's how "real time" starts to sneak in.

I'm increasingly convinced that if this became a real series a reprinting of the "Untold Tale" of Phoenix as Issue 0 might be a good idea. New cover, of course.

Saw a comment elsewhere about Marvel getting me to do this by "backing up a Brinks truck."

Some people don't get me at all!!

I totally agree - that “Fate of the Phoenix” piece is perfection!

Too many people who lack principles have trouble believing others that do.

If the amount of money were the only issue, I am sure we would have seen a NEXT MEN movie, by now.

I believe it was you, JB, that made note one time about how some people have trouble writing superheroes because they can't imagine anyone with better morals than themself. Well, that seems to apply in this matter, where some people think your grievances with Marvel in the past can be resolved if they simply offered you so much money.

I have turned down sales on principles in my business. There are always those people who can't fathom being principled, though.
