I'm sorta intrigued by this....it appears Byrne is tackling the chronicles of Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln from the Trek episode "Assignment:Earth" in a new ongoing series:

Guess he's Byrned enough bridges with the big two that he has to take work with small publishers.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

^^^ Thanks, I'm here all week.
Seriously, do you guys think Byrne's time as a regular penciler for Marvel or DC has passed? His last regular assignment was the Atom and he lasted 3 issues or so.

Byrne, while still a "name", is not the marquee star he used to be. Compare him to George Perez, a contemporary of his. Perez, IMO, is doing some of his best work on Brave and the Bold. And I think his name has a little more "shine" to it when it's attached to a book. If Perez leaves a book, it's usually because he's in demand elsewhere or because he's just exhausted from the amount of detail he puts into his pencils. Byrne on the other hand usually high-tails it off a book after a problem with "editorial".
Nevertheless, I look foward to the Trek title....I always liked the Gary Seven concept but I'm not sure I would have noticed the book if Byrne wasn't attached to it.Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Byrne's characters all seem to have that "mannequin" quality lately....almost a plastic sheen to them.Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

I like Byrne. I was a big enough fan back in the 80s to overlook some of the constant personality conflicts he seems to have, but, nowadays, his art style is kind of dated in comparison to younger artists like Frank Quitely, Pete Woods and Renato Guedes. The days where an artist could get away with having five different male faces and two or three different female faces in their drawing arsenal have passed.Comment
