John Byrne's Next Men is one of my favourite superfiction comic books Buying it since it first appeared in Dark Horse Presents (alongside those first chapters of Frank MiIler's Sin City) it reminded me of my previous-favourite Byrne comic, Alpha Flight A mixture of messed up folk who normally wouldn't be seen in the same[...]

The Multiversity Guidebook collated a bunch of different parallel universes - 52 in all - and described almost every one, including... Which was rather

Creator John Byrne had plans to reuse some of the grey Hulk's more intelligent characteristics and look, and when he left the book, writer Al Milgrom went hell for leather and had Bruce Banner turning into the earlier version of the character Peter David took over the book and saw the grey Hulk as a[...]

From Uncanny X-Men by Chris Clarmeont and Dave Cockrum, after John Byrne had left the book. Then from a subsequent issue of Fantastic Four by John Byrne. Shots were fired… as Jim Shooter said "He was the one who brought John Byrne in there They had a falling out And so John Byrne goes on to do[...]

We recently looked at Eric Ladd's series of John Byrne commissions over the years, montages of Spider-Man villains But one prominent villain was missing… John Byrne wrote on The John Byrne Forum, You may have noticed a paucity of commission pieces being posted lately There's a reason I've been stuck on one piece, unable to get myself[...]

Beyond that, in no particular order: John Byrne's Fantastic Four – reading that as a kid made me want to write F.F (I really do want to write F.F…); Mike Mignola's Hellboy; Frank Miller's Sin City, The Dark Knight Returns I often start people who never read a comic off with The Dark Knight saying,[...]

As things are want to. Nowadays, Nightcrawler's mother is Mystique, his father is Azazel and his siblings include Raze, Creed, Charles Xavier Jr and Rogue. But the designs for Nightcrawler's family? A member of the John Byrne forum uncovered the following artwork. Comic Link recently auctioned the original art from page 26 of Uncanny X-Men #113 Unfortunately, I[...]

Heck, mainstream women creators/writers/editors Kim Yale (Batman, STNG) and Christie Marx (Sisterhood of Steel, Jem), writer Joellyn Auklandus, and artist Lorraine Reyes worked for us right alongside the likes of John Byrne and John Ostrander. My point is, if you're a woman artist and/or writer and you're good, fast, and can stay on schedule, IMHO you[...]

Bleeding Cool ran a report on the cameo of Chris Claremont and Len Wein in the X-Men: Days Of Future Past movie. But there was no sign of the co-writer and artist of the story that inspired the movie, John Byrne. So on the Byrne Forum, with a link to our original story, he was asked… Was he upset[...]

Scripted by John Byrne, two things are clear from reading this first story: first, Mignola is still exploring and defining his pulp infused Lovecraftian universe and second, this universe was something unique and spectacular When Hellboy first came out 20 years ago, I wasn't sure about it, the name seemed somehow Legion of Superheroes meets[...]

"What John does on these photonovel stories is[...]

In an industry where comic creators aren't that happy discussing exactly what they get paid, John Byrne has been relatively forthright. On Marvel: Received a royalty check from Marvel yesterday For $0.98!! I wonder what that cost them to process? On an unnamed publisher (but you could probably make an educated guess): This check is kind of the[...]

To put that in perspective, the next-biggest stated attendance for a first-time show was New York City at 33,000 — over all three days — in 2006. What If A Sketchbook… Looked Like A Colouring Book?

There was an acrylic painting posted on Facebook by a Native American artist named Steven Paul Judd. Here's a page from John Byrne's Fantastic Four #268, "The Masque of Doom". In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or[...]

Well here's a thing. Since the beginning of the year, John Byrne has been playing with a project on his message boards Taking the concept of the Star Trek photo-novels from the seventies, where episodes were released as photo comics Except Byrne is creating his own stories, using images from the original series Star Trek screencapped[...]

John Byrne posted that he had uncovered around 800 photocopies of his pencil artwork from a certain period, including various stages of its completion Amazing Spider-Man, Lost Generation, Hidden Years, Amazon, True Brit and more And rather than throw them out… By this time next month, June 14th, whoever can show proof of having made the[...]

SPOILERS for today's comics below: I don't mean that John Byrne has received two offers of marriage from men over the last year Though I know to what extent some people will go to get original comic art by the man. No, I mean that last year, we had Astonishing X-Men, in which Northstar decided to pop[...]

Look forward to a piece on just such an incident tomorrow. But then John Byrne has never really cared for the done thing Talking about his IDW work of late, such as Next Men, Cold War and High Ways, he writes; I have waived my page rate and first publication royalties on all my books at IDW,[...]

John Byrne's The High Ways has its first issue published by IDW A sci-fi procedural thriller, it's my favourite Byrne book for a long time Principally because the voice is untempered by licence or audience or even nostalgia, and it is undeniably his. But it also reminds me very much of Robert Heinlein For two main[...]
