It’s really fun to see that commission piece as an actual cover, something I never would have imagined when I drew it!!

I’m glad it got to be the cover, it’s a super cool commission! Im also so stoked that we get to see your project be fully realized in this killer 3 volume form!!!!
Great to hear you are happy to see the piece as the cover… imagine how over the moon the commissioner is - he got a great Byrne commission NOW he’ll have a GREAT Byrne X-Men cover!!

Big question now: how will the market react to the second volume?

Look at that cover, how would it not do well.. I think it'll do great!
My big question is why didn't Abrams send me an email notification of this Volume 2 release, since I ordered Volume 1 from them?
Seems like that would be their standard operating procedure for a client that ordered a book in an ongoing series!!!

Hmm. #2, huh?
Is there any way to artificially make this one also “#1?” They say that’s the
way to go with comic books.

You are right, when Magneto enters the scene the intensity kicks up another notch or two!

Oh thanks for the hint… YES that too!!!
JB - Funny to think about my contribution to your income was just really small cover prices for years and years now these volume are finally get you nice chunks of cash, hopefully this one will do well and reward you well for all that fine art and entertainment you provide for us!
