John Byrne is returning to the X-Men for a new project called ‘ X-Men: Elsewhen’. Byrne describes it as possibly being his final work.
“The stories begin at a turning point that occurred late in Byrne’s original run. In the comics as published, Jean Grey sacrificed her life to save the universe while fighting off the possession of an entity known as the Dark Phoenix. Then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter ordered Jean be killed, a decision that rubbed the artist as wrongheaded and would lead to his exit a few months later. Byrne’s new stories diverge, with her surviving the experience.”

Crosswinds is a gender-bender body-swap story that came out several years ago from Gail Simone and Cat Staggs. One's a hitman. one's a housewife. These issues are setup. It's where this story goes with this that makes it different.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Jun. 16th, 2026 08:34 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
For those of us unable, or unwilling, to pay to watch the UFC Freedom 250 event which "happened" to coincide with POTUS47's 80th birthday, it seems to have been everything that we thought it might be, tacky, shamelessly crass and with strong echoes of the declining days of the Roman Empire's gladiatorial games.
But not to worry, visitors to Washington could visit the newly renovated Reflecting Pool, and possibly take home some souvenir algae bloom.
The US/Iran war is apparently over.... again... possibly... still being worked out... waiting to be signed... is still general rather than specific. It's a freaking "Choose Your Own Adventure" that's what it is.
The UK is looking to ban major social media access to those under 16
I meant to mention the passing of Marcia Lucas, the film editor who truly made "Star Wars: A New Hope" the blockbuster what it was, though she always insisted that she had only fixed a scene or two.

Full Circle: BLUE & GOLD, FIRE AND ICE, HUMAN TARGET, GUY GARDNER
Jun. 14th, 2026 04:53 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily108 of 108. Sorry for tardiness! Most of the following post will cover what the JLI’s most persistent cast members have been up to in the last decade. Warning for a front-and-center suicide attempt and some spoilers, especially for Human Target.
Just as Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire charged in and made established characters like Blue Beetle and Mister Miracle their own, their successors at DC Comics have picked up the JLI’s legacy and made it theirs. No one could duplicate Giffen and DeMatteis, just as no one could duplicate Jack Kirby, because their whole approach was about innovation. You follow them best by not following them exactly, by not “training yourself” too much on their “data.” ( You can’t prompt-engineer a BWA-HA-HA. )
Last Call: JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000, BLUE BEETLE, SCOOBY-DOO APOCALYPSE
Jun. 12th, 2026 03:32 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily107 of 108. Warning for gruesome death.
At the same time Giffen and DeMatteis were doing Larfleeze, they were putting out Justice League 3000 with JLA veteran artist Howard Porter. The series (later renamed Justice League 3001) involves an attempt to reconstruct the original Justice League, 1000-ish years in the future. But the restoration of their powers and personalities is far from perfect (3000 #1). ( JUST IMAGINE the producers of Jersey Shore creating the DC Universe! )
NS: Legal Knives Drawn at Archie Comics

In what would normally be great news for Archie Comics—a Hollywood deal to bring the Archie to the silver screen—has opened up a legal can of worms for co-CEO Jonathan Goldwater. Raven Capital Management claims that Goldwater defaulted on a loan in 2024 giving them control of the intellectual property and the deal with Universal Studios was made without their knowledge.

How did I never know that this was a thing? Even though it wasn't... sort of
Jun. 10th, 2026 11:11 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyA random Instagram post filled me in on something I'd never heard of before.
Did YOU know that in the late 1980's, JM Strazynski (He of Babylon 5 and many other series) put together a proposal for a Batman cartoon with Jason Todd as Robin? Because I didn't... (Of course, If you HAVE all have heard of this then sorry for wasting time)
