John Byrne photoshopping TOS into new photonovel stories.
This thread shows the evolution of him just playing around making comic pages of episode scenes to the idea of him compositing new scenes for a new story and it being picked up for an upcoming comic book.
Reduced to?
This has the potential to be fantastic!!!
New stories with original crew members in a visually stunning manner.
New stories and new characters I'm on board if he goes this way.
“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”
yeah, reduced to photoshopping when the guy used to be the top artist around.
He's byrned so many bridges at this point he's lucky IDW even gives him work. He's not as revered anymore as one of his
former contemporaries George Perez still is...
Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!
I think it looks pretty good. Byrne's Photoshop skills are kind of hit and miss, but it certainly looks interesting...and I haven't been interested in anything Byrne was doing since the 80's.
This is his story realized through using still from the TV show plus CGI/photoshopping and it will be a sequel to Where no Man Has Gone Before with the return if Gary Mitchell. I am not really a comic expert so the only thing I really remember Bryne for is his work for The Space:1990 comic (which I loved). I am excited about what he is doing now.
This sound pretty cool but Byrne is still limited as a story teller. Byrne is also no fan of the other Trek shows. Only the classic is true in his view. This link has more samples:
As someone who collects Star Trek fotonovels (as well as a few others like Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings, and so on), I'd be interested in checking it out. I really like the format, but home video really killed it. They gave fans something to tide them over between fixes, and once we were able to watch anything we wanted whenever we wanted, there was no real demand for them any longer.
I would have loved to have had Six Million Dollar Man or Man from Atlantis fotonovels back in the day, because I went years without seeing any of those episodes after they went off the air.
