Wow. Does the artist really have that level of autonomy?

••

"Autonomy" might not be the right word. There are many factors involved. Given the artist, the book was probably crowding its deadlines beyond human endurance, allowing no time for tweaking.

I had a similar experience with one young artist. Wrote a plot for him, which he completely misinterpreted. I was going for a dramatic story with a semi-humorous punchline. He turned it into a full-on comedy. There was no time to ask for it to be redrawn.

I know we're not REALLY doing this, but I just realized that IF the issues of ELSEWHEN were numbered as following X-Men 137...

Then THIS incredible finale to the return of Dark Phoenix would have been the fabled Uncanny X-Men #150!!

I feel like this can't be just a coincidence.

I do feel so great about this series and so grateful for what feel like billions of details that are so right.

This counts, for me, as one more amazing sign that I did the right thing when I chose to keep an eye on what John Byrne does in comics. Some day that kid's gonna make it!

But it was! I was amused when I noticed the correlation.

In a way, this whole project is so unexpected and spontaneous that it is only
fitting that this correlation would be an accident.

But I was so so so blown away by the conclusion of the Phoenix story that I
could not have asked for more if Stan Lee himself had presented a "SHOCKING
150th ISSUE!!"

Stumbled into a podcast discussing this issue. Sent me back to look at it. Hokey smokes! Almost two years since Wolverine got his brain cooked!
