Byrne's Hidden Years stuff was garbage, too.
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I enjoyed that very much. Quesada must be cool with publishing "redundant" titles now, as that was the reason he gave for Hidden Years getting axed. He's basically doing the same comic with a different name now.
Byrne hates Alpha Flight, so it's unlikely he'd return to it.I'd be fine with Byrne writing something like Alpha Flight again (drawing it, too), and he'd work well on She-Hulk, Wolverine, or something too obscure to scrutinze, but I'd prefer that he just draw, for the most part.

Wow... you just named off a bunch of stuff that Byrne has already done at Marvel... why not wish for him to do something "diffferent"?
Otherwise, just reread all those old Alpha Flight, She-Hulk & Uncanny books that he has done...

You're still bitter over Chapter One, aren't you?
TMOB isn't most Spidey fans.Most Spider-Man fans just completely ignore it.![]()
John Byrne doesn't care about anything but himself and hating black people.
He hates blacks. But he's not racist. He hates everyone who's not him.
No one's mentioned his work on Incredible Hulk yet. That was pretty good.
I'd say X-Men, FF, Superman, Captain America, and Hulk were his best work.
No, he's awesome. I remember his work with the Fantastic Four in the early 80's...I wish he'd come back to Marvel and pencil some of their bigger titles...I'm a fan of the legendary writer/artist extraordaire and messageboard disciplinarian, John Byrne. I'm not some blind fanatic, though, like some claim, but I do enjoy his linework, output, designs, and covers.
He's the kind of artist that would work well on the Hulk, Fantastic Four, one of the Avengers titles, Iron-Man, X-Men, Alpha Flight, Wolverine, Marvel Team Up, or a number of more obscure character books.
He would also be an ideal candidate for short term projects (so the eventual bad blood between him and his editor would never boil over). I think he'd be great in the role that John Romita Jr. now has at Marvel, bouncing around the Marvel Universe. He could do things like a Captain America WWII mini or a Marvel Universe mini in the same vain as World War Hulk or Secret Invasion.
I do wish he'd pay more attention to filling most every panel with detailed backgrounds. I also wish he'd embrace the new coloring techniques a bit more.
I like his old stuff better, but he's still really good.
I wouldn't mind seeing Byrne's art again if he could take himself back to his older, Uncanny X-Men-era style. His style's shifted a lot over the years to the point that his more recent work looks really bland and uninteresting to me.
And this is coming from a guy that read his Fantastic Four run as it was coming out
Well, he did do a few issues of the Champions...
It's such a radical change that it's a true shame. One of the reason's I read comics still today is because I fell in love with the Marvel characters that Byrne drew as I grew up. So, despite his personality, I'll always have a place in my heart for his work. I bought Nextmen even though the stories were awful. Picking up his JLA & Atom stuff was just sad. How come artists like George Perez got better with age but Byrne took a major step back? It seems to me like he has placed speed over quality. If he could even come close to his heyday, I'd welcome him back to Marvel in a minute.
I still think that FF run is the best long term run of all-time. Story AND art, those issues are still pure gold.
They're excellent, but at the end of the day, all Byrne really did is riff off of what Stan & Jack did twenty years earlier....it was very cool and entertaining, but hardly in league with the Lee & Kirby era, which is pretty much the backbone of the modern Marvel Universe imo...
He hates blacks. But he's not racist. He hates everyone who's not him.
-is personality sucks. John Byrne is to comic like ty cobb was to baseball 'he love to be hate and he love to make scandal
-he have a high esteem of himself in is art
-I love is art but i hate the guy i meet him in a convention and he is a bad person i want to punch him
