Byrne and Others May be Returning to Marvel for Special Projects

Writer/artist John Byrne announced in August that he has spoken with Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski about a possible return to the X-Men. Nothing was agreed to but the project if it happens will be called X-Men: Elsewhen. In a talk with Syfy Wire, Byrne explained the series would take place in an alternate timeline in which Phoenix survived the ending of The Dark Phoenix Saga. This came when a fan on Byrne’s forum asked is there was any chance at all that he could come back to Marvel. He thought about and figured he could draw the project for someone else to ink and the story would be a kind of Elseworlds tale where Phoenix didn’t die. Pages for the story were posted the pages on his website as he finished them and Cebulski saw them. That has led to informal conversations on Byrne returning to Marvel where he hasn’t worked since 2000. The split happened with the cancellation of X-Men: The Hidden Years. Byrne revealed he was leaving Marvel on his America Online forum and not by Marvel which annoyed former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. Aside from Byrne Rob Liefeld announced at a panel at Wizard World Comic Con in Austin that he and Marvel are working on a major X-Men event. He told fans that Marvel called him last Thanksgiving and said they wanted him to do a big story so he came up with something out of the box and they went for it. Marvel hasn’t confirmed the crossover.
