Man an X Title, moving from the original 137 ending on...talk about printing gold. Would be head and shoulders above Exiles and the X-Books being made now.

I'm not so sure I'd be interested in moving on from the original ending
planned for #137.
Say what you want about what happened there with the change, but I think it
produced a much better story, and created a much more interesting
playground for future stories.
Now those are the stories I'd like to see how JB would have told...

In agreement with Lars. Thanks for the bump up ahead. I missed this 2 weeks ago.

So it's a race to see who can put together the $$$ to get a commission to see the original intended death of Mariko and Sabertooth.
Man, that would be the coolest commission ever.
JB, do you remember enough to be be able to do a full issue of the "imaginary tale?"

Yes but with Jean left alive, you get Rachel and obviously a whole different slew of stories. I am more interesting in seeing what might have been rather than a retelling of what already happened.

I wasn't talking about a retelling of what already happened. I was talking
about the stories John would have told himself from Jean's death on. New
ones. That made more sense that the crap that once-beloved book so
quickly devolved to once he left....

Question for JB
Your departure form the X-Men was pretty sudden and must have caught Claremont and Shooter by surprise and if I recall correctly, X-Men 144 penciled by Brent Anderson was the same plot outline that you recieved from Claremont. Had you received any other plots from Claremont before you quit the book?

Chris and I had been on "phone plots" for quite some time when I quit the book. Somewhere around 113, as I recall, we stopped doing written plots. Chris and I would talk stuff over, and then one of us -- usually me, when it was Roger -- would call the editor and firm stuff up.What happened in 144 bore but fleeting resemblance to the story that had been worked out before I left. It's the first example of the Byrne-Free Zone X-MEN.
