OH MY......................."Hang on Lady... We go for a RIDE!" - Shorty to Willie Scott.Best movie line from Indiana Jones & the Temple Of Doom -
Very cool. I saw that posted on the Byrned Out Facebook page not too long ago. I miss Byrne's work at the Big Two. When all is said and done, he and Perez are my two all around favorite super hero artists. Their styles work well with nearly every character.
I recently ran across an X-men podcast called the Uncanny Podcast. It's three twentysomething's reading their way through the X-men. They are at a Hellfire club arc just before the Dark Phoenix issues. It was fun to listen to their comments on those issues and to hear how well they still stand up to an audience 30 years later. They really give Byrne props for how he draws Kitty Pryde. I'm not sure they realize Byrne was basically a co-writer on the series with Claremont. Not taking anything away from Claremont, but Byrne as his co-plotter kept him more focused than he would be later on the series.Comment

Man thats greatComment

He's still got it. I've been re-reading the Stern/Byrne Captain America run (gee, I wonder why), and man, that is fabulous stuff. I honestly think that was Byrne at his artistic peak, but this is a very nice piece.

All of the Stern and Byrne Cap issues are great. The origin issue, Cap for Prez, Baron Blood issues, Batroc, Dragon Man. Bernie Rosenthal was my favorite Cap girlfriend.Comment

Great pic, I've always loved Byrne's artwork.Comment

Is this a recent piece? Very cool. Thank you Ed for selecting my new desktop for my laptop. I think Byrne drew THE definitive Captain America, Superman and X-Men. I'd love to find a collected verison of Byrne's CA stuff, especially the Baron Blood/Union Jack arc. What a jerk, but what a talent.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

I only met Byrne once, and he was a nice enough guy. His reputation proceeds him, but on a personal level, I got no complaints.

That's a nice piece of art but his work today is sloppy IMHO. He has even stated himself that what he submits or inks himself is more sketch-like rather than finished pencils
Read his High Ways mini and was totally unimpressed. Such a shame really but I guess he's made enough money and doesn't feel the need to be more prolific? Or do you think he's burnt a few bridges at the Big Two?

^He's doing a ton of work on IDW's Star Trek books. I really need to check those out. He obviously loves Trek, so I imagine it's a good marriage.

I like when he draws backgrounds not just figures in space.

It appears the latter. He walked from Marvel after Hidden Years was cancelled out from under him and turned down a reunion with Claremont on X-Men The End. I believe his last works for DC was on Superman with writer Gail Simone (and a british comedy elseworlds Superman?)
It looks like he is plenty prolific, but doing commissions.Comment
