It would appear that IDW is preparing JB to work for them for the long haul, so whatever those numbers up there may show...IDW apparently believes in JB.

Some seem to want JB to fail & that's rather unfortunate, but not surprising coming from a few detracting personalities hereabouts.

Based on JB's recent communications at the JBF, there's positive days ahead.

Regardless of the stupidities expressed by a few naysayers, JB provides guaranteed entertainment with his art & stories & I'm glad that he will still be allowed to continue to do so.

It's not a question of stupidities but some of us just don't like his later work. I've read a couple of issues of Cold War - nice art but a forgettable story. So for me he doesn't provide "guaranteed entertainment" so I won't be bothering with Trio at all.

Essentially what I am saying is that John Byrne art was at it's best on X-Men and nothing has quite matched it and I never thought Byrne was a great writer either.

You won't be missing anything. It was pretty awful.

Then I guess that, in this particular case, you're not one of the few naysayers that I felt the need to mention.

Hmmm. A spy story is very different from a super-hero story, is it not? crazy

That's a very valid opinion that I totally disagree with. sick

What Byrne needs to do is somehow harness the bile and anger that he often/sometimes shows on his forum into producing some comics with bite and energy as compared to the bland stuff he produces now.

He'd probably need someone to write the dialogue for him as well.

If you could turn bile and hatred into creativity, then I'd be a prize-winning novelist by now.
