    More About John Byrne: John Lindley Byrne (born July 6, 1950) is a British-born, Canadian raised, American writer and artist of superhero comics. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on many major superheroes, with noted work on Marvel Comics' X-Men and Fantastic Four and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics' Superman franchise, the first issue of which featured comics' first variant cover. Coming into the comics profession as penciller, inker, letterer and writer on his earliest work, Byrne began co-plotting the X-Men comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with Fantastic Four (where he also served as penciler and inker). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including Next Men and Danger Unlimited. He scripted the first issues of Mike Mignola's Hellboy series and produced a number of Star Trek comics for IDW Publishing. In 2015, Byrne and his X-Men collaborator Chris Claremont were entered into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.

      Just to clarify, John didn’t agree with the title of being the new "king", someone else REALLY didn’t agree with John being the new king, but again, the same person said Liefeld was the new king, sooo, there goes his credibility as a critic. Yeah, it was a subtle Liefeld diss.

    John Byrne saved my otherwise hellish adolescence, which happened to coincide with his stint on the X-Men, and then on the Fantastic Four. His style is just so unique and enjoyable. Of course, all of us comic artist wannabees copied his style, so I'm sure Marvel got a lot of submissions that looked very similar. I have something in common with Mr. Byrne: My mother gave all my Transformers away to some children's charity also, and it's cost me a fortune to get them back.

    John Byrne is without a doubt my favorite artist and writers of all time. But in my opinion, in his later career, his art has become very sketchy. I wonder if the reason is Byrne is inking his rough draft rather than inking his finished pencils. Pretty much like he did in this video.
