Whether he walked out or was shown the door, he puts the blame on Jim Lee. (And Whilce Portacio, and on the characters for not being ones he wanted to write.) _________________________ "When one says 'Africa,' it refers to Africa in the Euro-colonized sense, not the damn bush country or whatever." - Ed Gauthier, DCP

Paul W. Sondersted, Jr. Member Registered: 07/22/01 Posts: 4593 Loc: Sparks, Nevada, United States	Originally Posted By: Alexander Ness Well, Paul does have a point even if it isn't evidence. My dad and brother in law Phil were the sort who felt bad and tried to make up for things that they had done, wrongly, but would NEVER apologize or explain or discuss their mistakes. Some people just don't go there. Whether it is right or wrong to do so is entirely another issue. I think people ought to be upfront but that doesn't mean they are. I agree. There would be much less ammunition for the Detractors™ to use against JB if he'd actually cop to some of his foot-in-mouth moments. He's a stubborn fool, sometimes. _________________________ Why do I react to exaggerations ----- IJit outed as a liar & coward

Paul W. Sondersted, Jr. Member Registered: 07/22/01 Posts: 4593 Loc: Sparks, Nevada, United States	Originally Posted By: Alexander Ness Yes I guess. Good point. Believe it or else, Lab Rats was contracted for longer (I can't recall exactly how much longer, but I'm leaning towards 12 issues), but apparently JB realized that sales sucked & even though DC offered to fulfill the contract, JB willingly let the series end when it did. What a cad! _________________________ Why do I react to exaggerations ----- IJit outed as a liar & coward

Stephen Parkes Member Registered: 09/24/09 Posts: 390 Loc: The Bristol, Cuba St	Originally Posted By: Channeling Boris Wolverine doesn't have an "O" mouth. Have you an example of him being drawn with an 'O' mouth? Just curious as to what you mean.

Channeling Boris Member Registered: 04/09/03 Posts: 241 Loc: My own little world	Nothing specific regarding Wolverine, Byrne just seems to get into a habit of drawing characters with their mouths gaping open.

Troy Lightbourne Member Registered: 05/03/10 Posts: 543	Originally Posted By: Ceci n'est pas une chaussette X-Men: Byrne blames Claremont. Fantastic Four: Byrne blames increased editorial interference Superman: Byrne blames Dick Giordano Next Men: Byrne blames the comics market Danger Unlimited: Byrne blames retailers Avengers West Coast: Byrne blames "a bone-head EiC who did not pay attention." Captain America: Byrne blames Jim Shooter Hulk: Byrne blames the Editor in Chief. Indiana Jones: Byrne blames Jim Shooter and LucasFilm. She-Hulk: Byrne blames Bobbie Chase. X-Men (second run): Byrne blames Jim Lee. This is all from Byrne's FAQ. These are his stated reasons. As Ceci beautifully illustrates here, you rarely have to go beyond Byrne's own words to say to yourself, "Geez! This guy sure quits a lot of jobs!" Even if I'd never heard of Byrne's reputation, just reading through his own FAQ section would trigger the ol' spider-sense that this guy's stories sound just a little too similar and a little too loaded. _________________________ "...M*****..." ---John Byrne, a sixty year old man unwilling to refer to Marvel Comics by their proper name because they'd canceled his book.

Troy Lightbourne Member Registered: 05/03/10 Posts: 543	In this thread, Byrne is asked about his departure from the FF and the Avengers. He gives a very brief response: http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37187&PN=1&totPosts=5 Regarding what made him leave the FF and the Avengers, Byrne answers: "No more plots came." _________________________ "...M*****..." ---John Byrne, a sixty year old man unwilling to refer to Marvel Comics by their proper name because they'd canceled his book.

Budman Member Registered: 12/13/01 Posts: 1859 Loc: Penfield, Ny USA	JB: Congrats on your announcement for the final sketch of 2010. However, this latest piece didn't do it for me. Upon viewing for the first time the reaction I had was along the lines of: "Jesus, another Spidey with black suit swinging over the cityscape?" http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37196 May I suggest you implement a rule that you have imposed a moratorium on the spidey black suit swinging over cityscape? Thanks! _________________________ "God you are a Genius Budman." --Alexander Ness "I know." --Budman

Alexander Ness Member Registered: 09/17/03 Posts: 3692 Loc: Minnesota	I dunno my liege, I really like this one. Maybe though I haven't seen the previous ones to make that sort of assessment. 20 inches of snow kind of mushes up the brain too. _________________________ I write lots.
