X-Men: Elsewhen Revives John Byrne's Vision for a Forgotten Era

Byrne walked away. X-Men changed. What if he hadn't? This alternate history has led to X-Men: Elsewhen, a series of graphic novels born from a partnership between Marvel and Abrams ComicArts, exploring the untapped potential of a narrative that could have been, had Byrne remained at the helm after the iconic "Days of Future Past" storyline in 1981.

It's a big deal. X-Men: Elsewhen is now in color. You'll notice the difference. This project, initially done by Byrne without Marvel's okay, has been redone. The finished form is pretty cool. It's similar to X-Men Forever, where Chris Claremont kept going with his X-Men story as if he never stopped. With Marvel's blessing, Byrne's work will appeal to old fans and new ones, thanks to its mix of old-school feel and modern storytelling. We've got a crossover of sorts, with a creator reworking their old stuff, which is worth mentioning for comic book fans and anyone into the X-Men franchise - it's a key part of their history.

Byrne's work on this project, it's clear he loves the characters, says Abrams ComicArts' Publisher Joseph Montagne, noting the rarity of such a crossover, which is pretty rare, in the world of comics, and that's what makes it special, with a unique "what if" scenario.

"John Byrne has done something truly unique here," emphasized series editor Chris Ryall. "He’s created all-new X-Men adventures that not only serve as a reminder of why Byrne’s past work on these characters was beloved and influential, while at the same time presenting all-new and relevant stories that will captivate newer X-Men fans as well."
