Great article, JB - so glad to see you and the book get
some ink from the Heat Vision team at Hollywood Reporter.
They do a great weekly newsletter featuring links to their
articles and they often feature the latest original comic
book art that is currently at auction.

That photo really looks like the screenwriter John Byrne and not our JB.

It's been some time that I've been around the forum but the interview popped up and I had to come and say congrats, JB!
I thought it was great, definitely the same guy that has been chatting with us around here!
I'll take it as a sign to check in here more often. Congrats on the sales too, I'll be sure to get my copy soon.

It would be something if ELSEWHEN pulled the "Faithful Fifty Thousand" back into the funny pages one last time. I'm not misremembering that, right? Sales on books would jump approximately 50k whenever JB took over?

I hope this comic (as well as the future 2 volumes) sells really well and becomes so damn popular that Marvel will retcon the bad creative decisions that they made with the X-Men over the last 4 decades and actually incorporate many of JB's ideas from this series into the main continuity. I especially would like to see JB's origin for Wolverine become the main MU origin for the character since I HATED the origin for Wolverine that Quesada, Jemas, and Jenkins came up for the character. It seemed to me that the sole reason behind that ORIGIN mini series being created and written by those 3 creators was because they wanted to leave their mark on the character and have their work adapted by Hollywood. Remember, Jemas's BS excuse for demanding that Wolverine's origin be told was so that Hollywood wouldn't tell it first. Sorry for the rant, but that lame Wolverine origin, along with the decision to give Wolverine bone claws (which Larry Hama was against, but was out voted by the other X-Men writers and editors) really pisses me off and damaged the character by making him less interesting and "cool".

There are a couple of Facebook groups where multiple people get rather
agitated that the photo is not the correct JB.
I’d already seen the photo so knew they were wrong, but it’s been fun
watching no it alls trying to school people and getting it wrong themselves.
There’s some good quotes in here, even if they do regurgitate some usual
errors re death of Phoenix and sales.
Nice to see 25k sold out and a new 20k are being printed. For a book this
size and cost, that’s really encouraging.

In fifty plus years in The Biz I have seen many strange “reinterpretations” of myself and my work. The most “amusing” was when a British newspaper covered my assignment to Superman and gave me my father’s life story. How I had served in Burma during WW2, and gone on to work for the Midlands Electricity Board (MEB)!

Congrats on the sales too, I'll be sure to get my copy soon.••• This truly has been a revelation. I had resigned myself to being a dwindling non-entity, but Abrams going to a second printing before the first has even shipped proves there’s life in the old dog yet!
