You are in for an amazing ride, Joe! I read them as they came out, so I had to wait in between issues. I pull this run out every few years or so and it holds up wonderfully.
And I inevitably reread FOURTH WORLD right after!

I re-read the first 15 issues or so recently, one of the more memorable panels is of Diana flying thru Decay. That one sticks!

This is my 20 year old son’s favorite comic run of all time.

I recently purchased the WW OMNIBUS and my wife happened to see it while working from home. I received this gchat post a few weeks ago from her......
JB - She always wondered why I would discuss your work with my late brother and why I would browse your website.
During the pandemic, she knew that this site (especially X-MEN:ELSEWHEN) was one of the distractions that got me through it.
I guess now, she gets your work ........

Those issues featuring the JSA were standouts for me.

Wallace, I'm big fans of those issues as well.
Been reading mine. Great stuff all the way through. Nice to see it collected all together.

Ok, I just finished this, and while the last issue made me go "aaargh" (based on the pages left, I thought there was more to come - I forgot about the extras), it was a masterful example of leaving the toys as you found them. Excellent, excellent work.

It’s been a minor annoyance over the years when uninformed fans have asked if it angered me to be forced to “put the toys back” as I found them. I guess those of us who create the work can take some of the blame for having trained generations of fans to look for battles in the books. Of course that kind of thinking slops over into the “real world”.

JB - Conversely then, were you always up for stories that broke some of the “toys”?
