          One thing I love about this series is the way it connects the X-Men with the rest of the Marvel Universe, which is something that Claremont seemed to pull away from after JB left.

 |  封 In Chris' defense (!!), as the X-Men gained popularity, more and more writers wanted to use them, often without clearing that use with the X-Office. To "protect" the characters and his storylines, Chris did the best he could to separate them from the mainstream of the MU.

 Interesting that this separation led them down a decidedly darker path.

          “Darker” was the New! Original! Idea! in those days. A rabbit hole we all went down.

          Even though the Sub-Mariner I first "met" wore those heavy metal bracelets, I hope JB finds a way to get rid of them again. The visuals for a swimmer like Namor work better without them.

          Metals reflect the color of the metal in the highlight, but plastics reflect the white from a top-coat epoxy layer.

 Maybe the early computer colorists forgot that.

 |  •• I made sure this boat looked nothing like Corbeau's just so no one would make that assumption. Time wasted, I guess. sigh

 |  Page shuffling in the process of getting rid of that subplot has ended up with a different sequence of pages in this issue.  So by the time all are posted, there may be 21, not 19!

 I predict zero complaints. JB, you are 3-4 issues ahead of your current released pages on Elsewhen and even if this was being printed would you be able to shuffle pages, plot lines, etc. with the same ease? |

          This thread makes me happy at a time when such things are hard to come by.
