>John Byrne's X-Men: Elsewhen #1 is already selling on eBay for $80 to $100, far above its $39.99 cover price.>Marvel and Abrams brought Byrne's long-running X-Men: Elsewhen fanfic to print after the original online project began in 2018.>The first 25,000-copy print run sold through fast, with a second printing planned as Amazon stock quickly dried up.>Elsewhen demand is also boosting prices for classic John Byrne X-Men books, including Dark Phoenix and key back issues.>Bleeding Cool broke the news that Marvel would "kinda" be publishing all of John Byrne's thirty-two issues of X-Men facfic, starting with X-Men Elsewhen Vol 1, from the Marvel Arts graphic novel line from Abrams. Back in 2018, John Byrne began work on a new X-Men comic book – but just for himself and his fans. It was called X-Men: Elsewhen. And the idea was that it would pick up from the moment John Byrne left the X-Men comic book and follow how he might have written and drawn it if he had his druthers. And he wrote and drew quite a lot of it, for free, posted in lettered pencils online, on the Fan Fic section of the Byrne Robotics Forum. One of the few comic creator-focused message boards still going, he even let some of his fans have a go at inking it if they wanted.>As C.B. Cebulski was made Editor-In-Chief of Marvel Comics, there was talk of Marvel approaching John to publish it officially. However, for reasons that John Byrne seems unwilling to discuss, that did not. He wrote, "Let loose the dogs of war! (And no speculation on why I decided not to take this to Marvel.)" And the story continued, month in, month out, including a very different origin of Wolverine, as Byrne would have had it. Eventually, it all came together with Abrams Marvel Comics art line.
>It sold through its first print run of 25,000 to comic book stores fast, even before it was published. And as a second printing is being prepared, some folk can't wait, so the $39.99 hardcover has been repeatedly selling on eBay for $ 79.99 plus postage. With some copies selling for as much as $90 or $100.… quite a few for a hundred dollars it seems… After all, Amazon.com is all out, and through Amazon.co.uk have a few copies you'll have to wait six weeks for a copy.>It has also drawn a spotlight on John Byrne's other X-Men work, with a Dark Phoenix Saga collection fetching $75, and a set of raw ungraded unslabbed X-Men #131, #133 and #135 for $200 the set.https://bleedingcool.com/comics/john-byrnes-x-men-elsewhen-1-sells-from-80-to-100-on-ebay/
get fucked by a cactus & drown in hobo shit, rich you leech
>>154462401Why? Who wants this shit?
>>154462594first of all the article is by Rich Johnston retard. secondly I seem to detect some hostlity in your voice. I take it you spider-man fans are jealous and upset that X-Men are doing better right now and getting more of the spotlight then spider-man is. Just to be clear there is very HUGE hype for season 2 of X-Men '97 many fans look forward to it. But what about you spider-man fans what do you have look forward to in the near future a shit show by the name of friendly neighborhood spider man oh tough luck there not only do you have black people in that show rumor has it miles morals will replace peter parker as the main lead midway in season 2. and of course to add insult to injury OMD has not been undone untill this day and it moost likely never will in addition to this you may noticed marvel is more keen to do repiints of X-Men books then that of spider-man and of course you know why don't you have a nice day now I know we will X-Men fans will for sure.

>>154462401Marvel Arts is the future of Marvel Comics. It allows prestige writers to publish Marvel stories without dealing with shitty editorial baggage.
