JB: I see from posts like these http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41335that you're not above blowing a few commission bucks on watching a PpV movie on the tube. I'm wondering if you have a certain time of the day/week that is reserved for watching tv and movies. And when you do decide to do pay per view, is it on a whim? Or perhaps, do you decide on, for example a tuesday that on friday night your going to watch Tinker Tailor? Do you pop yourself some popcorn and adjust the lighting? How old is your tv? Do you have a home theater system? Thanks in advance!

I've heard TRIO described as a return to his Fantastic Four style. Based on the few pages I've seen, it looks closer to his Superman style. Hard to explain just what I see as the difference. I guess my feeling is that FF was nestled snugly within the earlier continuity and history of the series, despite its back-to-basics attitude, whereas Superman was presented as a brand new thing, sorta "forget everything you knew before." Both approaches are valid, they're just a bit different from one another.

The new issue of NEXT MEN: AFTERMATH #41 is out this week. They talk about it at the JBF at this link:
***************** SPOILERS ************************
Which raises the possibility that both the SaneCrazyBeth and the Jasmine who are out in the wasteland are also projections from Sandy's mind, and that the real CrazyBeth is hiding somewhere, maybe still in the Time Tower? Also, the Jasmine out in the wasteland does not know that Gil and Gillian are the same person, although she is wearing clothing from the Time Tower, which may fit with the Sandy hypothesis as well.
I just realized another clue that the CrazyBeth and Jazz out in the wasteland are Sandy's projections. They narrate their present-tense actions in captions, unlike any normal character in the book outside of flashbacks. But just like Sandy's projection comic book characters did. Seems like the kind of detail that Byrne would throw in there. But I'm not 100% sure that he's really been consistent about it throughout the whole series. I'm not going back to check either.

JB, aren't your "Three Most Important Phrases When Creating Comics" rather outdated and hardly important at all in our modern, bookstore oriented, graphic novel dominant, increasingly digital comics marketplace? Isn't the focus on single issues and the fan vs. pro dichotomy really only relevant to the corporate-owned superhero comics of your heyday? Byrne Forum 1. Every issue is the first issue for somebody. 2. The first story you'd do as a fan should be the last story you'd do as a pro. 3. Never give the fans what they THINK they want.

And in regards to no.3--what do you say to the fans who thought they wanted for example the invisible girl to be called the invisible woman, and that's what happens!

Wow-you are a master poet! It's a good thing we didn't do no. 3 diareha--that's a tough one to rhyme.

I realize I am by no means the brightest bulb, a few fries short of a complete happy meal I am, but, what does number 2 even mean? One of Byrne's relentless memes regarding how How Comics Went Wrong After I Started is "Fanboys turned pro" Fans of comics eventually creating comics is a Bad Thing, because fans will write things they LIKE in the stories. (I assume that's either Byrne was not a fanof the comics he read as a child or did not like the stories he wrote.) Comics are best made by disinterested corporate ghost writers.
