Whilst I would disagree with Alan that tastes have not canged (i believe they have) He is still right that byrnes skills are not what they once were. I agree. As I say earlier...They have evolved & improved. _________________________ Why do I react to exaggerations ----- IJit outed as a liar & coward

The ego quip seems to have gotten to Byrne who on page 2 of the thread tries to demonstrate that it's not his ego that's the problem, however he demonstrates quite clearly that it's all about his ego - heaven forfend that a comic book company would expect the mighty JB to pitch for work. Given his current level of sales, it is obvious that he is not the star draw that he was (not saying he can not do good work just that he does not bring in the buyers the way he used too) so I think that it is only right that companies would expect him to pitch for business so that they can see if his plans for the book match where the companies want the characters to go. Hmmmmm. The guys running the show (into the ground...comparatively speaking) these days want what practically every detractor wants...JB to crawl to the Big 2 & beg & plead to work under their foolish & idiotic regimes. There's an old saying that I imagine is going through JB's mind...Fool Me Once... Originally Posted By: Mike Keane Also I think he needs to realise that whilst his sales figures for the big 2 are not good, they are perfectly acceptable for IDW (expectation vs return)so Chris Ryall asking byrne to work for him is a far different thing to dc doing the same. Given the right project & the right push & JB would get the job done. Originally Posted By: Mike Keane Also is it really that difficult for him to pick up a phone and say I would like to do xmen evermore? Is it really that difficult for the PTB at the Big 2 to make business decisions & hire the right people for the right projects?

Budman Member Registered: 12/13/01 Posts: 1859 Loc: Penfield, Ny USA	I think Byrne is in a position financially to do what he wants when he wants to. This, plus I also think he is the type of person to puff his chest and scoff at the big 2 until the "right people" are in charge b/c he doesn't need them to pay his bills. If he were to go back on FF I'd be hesitant to buy it. The way he draws the Thing these days isn't really grabbing me. He had him perfect on his run. Now he's got the detached eyebrow which I don't like. I liked his domed head version the best. He draws Reed too cartoony too. The best way for him to really make a come back would be to do something that's never been done but a fanboy's dream like team up with Neal Adams for a 12 issue Batman limited series. One of them pencils and the other inks the first 6 then they switch for the other 6. Byrne also writes it. _________________________ "God you are a Genius Budman." --Alexander Ness "I know." --Budman

At Marvel I'd like to see him handle Dr. Strange, Thor, Silver Surfer (on an ongoing basis), & Invaders. At DC I'd like to see JB work on Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, & Captain Marvel. _________________________ Why do I react to exaggerations ----- IJit outed as a liar & coward
