I don't have the time to educate you from such a rudimentary level.

I think JB hacked into Lawson's Comicon account! RUN!!!

Get this into your tiny brain: trade paperbacks are not the “future” of this industry. They are another industry entirely, as movies are to TV. How about if we just think of it this way: People who miss deadlines are lazy, arrogant, unprofessional c*cks*ckers who are in no small way responsible for the death of the industry. And the “fans” who support them are braindead elitist morons. A time machine would come in handy, right about now. Go back about fifteen years and shoot all those people who didn’t listen when I predicted the present state of the industry as the natural outcome of what the industry was doing, or starting to do, then. Face it—for the most part, when you say “comic book professional” what you mean is “unprofessional yahoo who is more concerned with making a name for himself and masturbating all his emotionally retarded fans than paying any attention to the history of the titles, the characters, or the work done by other creators.” I repeat, bullshit. Pull your head out of your ass for a moment and look at this not as a long time comic book reader, but as a civilian. This looks like a comic book, feels like a comic book, smells like a comic book, tastes like a comic book. No “uninitiated” person is going to look at this and think “Ah! This lurid cover illustration indicates this book must be intended for mature readers!” They are going to think “Look what they are selling to my children!!”* And those children are going to think “Co-o-o-o-o-o-ol!!!” It's kind of difficult to put into words why I don't like Bob Laytons's inking. This is going to sound really silly, but I actually feel physically ill when I look at Bob's stuff. I really do. It's like everything is greasy and slimy. I will never forgive him for what he did to the Hulk's face in the annual that we did together. A lot of the other stuff I liked, but the Hulk's face, the Angel's face, the Angel, God!I remember my father looking at the stats of the finished inks and there's a shot of the Angel standing there with his hands on his hips saying hello to somebody and my father said, "Well this guy's queer." No, he didn't look queer in the pencils Dad.

Anyway, JB, now you are here, I'd just to like to say your old stuff is better than your new stuff.

So, you're basically saying that Byrne and Allen are the same?

The other is John Byrne, who, additionally, drew FANTASTIC FOUR, UNCANNY X-MEN and SUPERMAN.

Why? Garbage is easy to produce. Quality matters.
