John Byrne returns to the X-men....

I feel this is the first post I have seen you make which does not feature the usage of a frowning emoticon. I am happy you have grown out of that habit as you said you would.

Isn't that nice?

Oh thank god this wasn't true. I so do not want that jack-hole anywhere near the X-Books ever again.

What wasn't to like about John Byrne?

Ehhhh...let's just say he's very....opinionated...on certain things (comics and or otherwise), and can come across as a Grade-A jackass.

I've heard audio interviews with him, and he was extremely nice and there was no malice or snark in any of his answers, so maybe it's internet postings taken out of context.

Oh.. that was funny.

Who's that on the top left? Kitty Pryde? Scott?

[Scarlet Silence]

Oh snap. Throwing shade and you haven't even been here a year.

I do not know what this means, but I am supposing you think I am attempting to offend CMBMOOL, when in fact the poster and I have had a conversation about the habit to which I refer.

I'd like to see him back on a arc of and x-book with inks by Terry Austen.

I don't get the joke...is it supposed to John Bryne writing or drawing that Popeye comic where he is beating up the "X-Men" without breaking copyright laws by not showing the complete bodies of the X-Men? This was solicited months ago. It's good for a single chuckle, but after that the novelty wears off. Start looking at other comic book companies cover solicits in the Previews catalog or the Diamond Comics Previews website. There are so many Marvel and DC homage cover by smaller imprints it's ridiculous.

John Byrne is an important part of the X-Men mythos. It's a joke topic.

lol i would have loved those x-positions.

What a tease. It would be great if Byrne went back to the X-Men. Claremont made lots of great stories after Byrne left but not as great as when Byrne was working with him. It's pretty clear that Byrne was the ANAD X-Men's soul. Plus the man knows how to spin gold; a talent that the x-verse desperately needs. I doubt he will return to Marvel though. He was supposed to work with Claremont on X-Men: The End but backed out when Marvel cancelled X-Men: Hidden Years (ironically, it was cancelled because JoeyQ thought there were too many redudant x-titles. Wish this policy was still in effect).

[Rasputin9977]

I guess that's why I've gravitated more towards DC in the recent years. They have a more 80s feel. I like superheroes.

Marvel still writes super heroes stories. These days they just tend to fight super heroes instead of super villains.

Oh.. that was funny.

Who's that on the top left? Kitty Pryde? Scott?

Scott.

I know that he is a major part of the X-Men mythos, but this cover isn't really worth it's own joke topic.

lol i would have loved those x-positions.

If he is as big of an asshole as some of you say, I would relish reading those X-Positions, too.
