    John Byrne photoshopping TOS into new photonovel stories.



    I think this might be great!

    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.

    is this what Byrne has been reduced to? Producing Fumetti?

      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.

        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...

            ^^^ His FF run still stands as second best behind Kirby/Lee in my mind.

              I didn't wade through all 28 pages but are we getting fotonovels in comic form now?

              Cause I'm down with that.

              Being a teen in the 80s, Byrne was someone whose work i really enjoyed. He comes off as a bit of a dick in real life though.

                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.
                Expectation is the death of discovery.

                  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:

                      I concur with that.

                        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.
