I live in Africa and John Byrne still impacted me and my brother who was an artist...and even once sent a collection of art to Marvel...Byrne was the greatest back in the day
I am an unconditional Byrne fan from the 80s. I have practically all the Brazilian issues of X-men and Superman...I became interested in comics and I'm downloading everything he did for all these years.
John Byrne is, in my opinion, one of the best comic artists of all time!
Emerson Teixeira Your opinion has merit 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ya think?
He’s bizzare
That's not an opinion. It's a fact.
Not while there's a Sienkiewicz, and I love Byrne's art. I might prefer Simonson as well... usually.
Finally someone with comic knowledge doing great comic interviews.
The first comic books I ever read were by Byrne, and it was his run on FF that got me collecting. Almost everyone focuses on the overall books he worked on, not the fact that if he was two people: one writer and one artist, each of them would be lauded as among the best in their respective field. That John Byrne is both in one person is Sensational and Uncanny.
Byrne is a bonafide living legend. One of the few talents who could both write & draw at the highest level. My very first comic book as a child (before I could even read) was his Fantastic Four #256, the introduction of the Negative Zone.
the negative zone has been around since the sixties but.
Byrne’s X-Men run; unbelievable. The Hellfire Club arc, EPIC
"Sometimes I wrestle with my demons...sometimes we just cuddle." - John Byrne
(that needs to be a T-shirt)
Byrne's run on the FF is the ultimate best stories of my collection!
No one captured the unrivaled arrogance of Doctor Doom like John Byrne. Let the movie makers take note!
OH, ABSOLUTELY!! FF #'s 258 to 260 are without a doubt some of the best Dr. Doom issues in comics.
I feel like, other than Kirby, Byrne really did the FF 100% correctly. Even with adding She-Hulk. The only other FF I like is the beginning of Ultimate FF. Others are either recycling Kirby or are very hit or miss. Byrne and Kirby set the bar very high.
No phoning it in, last fantastic four movie hurt
The best Doctor Doom writer of all time! Followed by Jim Shooter, Stan Lee and Simonson. Any other writers just gave us robot doppelgangers of the Latverian Overlord.
True!!
Need more of this. John Byrne is not only a tremendous writer/artist, he's an expert historian. I've learned so much just reading his thoughts on the medium he so clearly loves.
These are the kind of videos I love. Keep them coming, Syfy Wire!
I second this (and of course, the same can be said of VZA as well -- awesome channel)
@@howcanihelpyou4943 Thanks so much for the love, man.
"Sometimes I wrestle with my demons. Sometimes we cuddle." Quote of the day.
My favourite artist of all time. His FF is legendary.
Byrne is a legend! His She-Hulk is one of my favorite Marvel heroes and one of their best female characters.
Feel like the time is finally right for a John Byrne 4th wall breaking quippy She-Hulk movie
Too many idiots would assume it's a rip off of Deadpool but maybe a good compromise would be putting her in as a major character in the next Deadpool movie.
Byrne is a true trailblazer in comics and my favorite
John Byrne truly give life and personnality to comic book characters like none else ever did, IMHO...
There aren't enough interviews with Byrne. He has made a huge impact on comics. Thank you for interviewing him!
That may be because he's known to be a bit prickly.
Mike, your comic artist and writer interviews are my favorite pieces on this channel... Your fandom and love for them is infectious, and always brings me new awareness on some of the truly great ones!
JOHN BYRNE is a living legend to me.
She-Hulk is so awesome!❤
One of my favourite all time artists!
Lets not forget his IronFist Run back in the day
I think that's how I got introduced to him. Wasn't it Iron Fist #15 where the X-Men guest starred? And I believe (but not sure, someone is welcome to correct me on this) that Cockrum was still drawing Uncanny X-Men at the time?
When John Byrne covered X-Men with Chris Claremont, it was like watching a Bourne film for superheroes: smart, gritty, kinetic, timely, geo-political. Classic.
I discovered comics with Byrne. The FF, the Phoenix saga in the X-men, Iron Fist... I didn't think I could admire him more than I already did... but now I do.
Exactly...I had over 10,000 comics in junior high school...more than anyone else I knew. And John Byrne is my ALL-TIME FAV!!
John Byrne is a legend.
SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK #7 was the first comic book I bought with my own allowance. I've been a Byrne fanatic since! I especially loved his AVENGERS, WEST COAST AVENGERS, and WONDER WOMAN.
I have Byrne's entire runs on X-MEN, FANTASTIC FOUR, & SUPERMAN. One of the giants of the industry.
I love John Byrne I miss all those great comics fantastic artwork and stories
Without Byrne’s relaunch of Superman I don’t think the character would be what he is today. John made Superman the hero I love.
I first discovered Byrne's work when he started on the new X-Men, and he was the first comic artist that I followed to other titles; I still remember how much I loved his runs on the Avengers, FF, Captain America, She-Hulk, and pretty much any Marvel books that he drew...
Since I was pretty dedicated to the Marvel brand, I didn't see much of the work he did on the DC books, but I'm sure he brought something special to all the titles he worked on there.
You got me hooked for life with interviews like this. Can’t wait for part 2... Greetings from Brasil!
John Byrne & George Perez were the best American superhero comic artists between 1978 & 1990 (approached only by Keith Giffen/ Larry Malhstedt's Legion of Superheroes). his writing on FF, She Hulk, Superman & earlier Wonder Woman were on.point❤
I really can't express how much I enjoy this channel and the coverage for everything I enjoy.
Can you do a interview with Byrne where he talks about his process in creating comics? Like backgrounds and stuff like that from pre-photoshop and computer programs up until now? that would be cool. Great videos btw.
This interviews were all so fascinating I need more!
Dude as a kid in a small southern town with no comic book stores. When I saw a comic with John Byrne art I pounced on it!
Favorite artist of all time 💯
John Byrne's SHE-HULK breaking the 4th wall!
Hope and Crosby did that in their "Road to..." movies. It was fun.
And years before Deadpool, too!
I just started reading NEXT MEN and it is so good. One of the most underrated series ever. Wish I'd paid more attention in the 90's when I was a kid!
I love Byrne! His X-Men The Hidden Years was phenomenal!
I was so excited when John Byrne drew the FF. I became a fan when he drew the X-Men.
Taking these long interviews and giving us 8 minutes is so frustrating! More! More! More!
Probably stepping on toes, but writing = artwork. You need both, but if I had to choose I'd read about stick figures in an exciting story over visual masterpieces arguing about social issues. Byrne always wrote great stories. That's why he was and will always be my favorite. His Galactus is the only Galactus as far as I'm concerned.
Finally a interview with the master. Amazing. Part 3, 4, 5, 6...keep bringing it.
I really love Byrne!
John Byrne is the BEST.
I really loved she hulk in the ff that is not an easy group to fit into unlike the avengers ff4 has that small close knit family vibe but she fit in well and not all characters can do that.
I love these interviews
A true legend, I've even gone as far as buying comics of characters I don't like for his art alone.
MORE of this, please!
John Byrne is great! I'm from Brazil and grow up read the his comic books! Congratulations for the video!
Great!!! When can we see part 2?
omg JOHN BYRNE i love him so much!
One of my art heroes growing up, he’s so awesome...
As an artist myself, John Byrne was my favorite. He may be a little outdated today but his clean style was great.
I have and always have been a John Byrne fan. He draws great yes BUT nobody can draw action poses/scenes like he does, except The King Kirby himself. Byrne is also a great story teller, I wonder why Hollywood didn't give this guy a call?
Khm khm (he's not woke) khm khm
Amazing classic style with a modern edge to it.
Please interview him every week.
I loved those! Golden Byrne!
Thanks Mr. A!!!!
thats so cool. thanks SYFY WIRE
Was introduced to the Byrne FF run in 8th grade. Good times!!
Omac was a truly amazing book. I wish it were in digital format
This editing is really spastic and jarring. Like, I know you guys have to do jump cuts and keep it snappy, but the strobe effect here with the opening shots is dumb. Love the Byrne interview.
"Coming up in part two"
Me: reeeeeeeeee
Lady's and gentlemen, the one, the only, Johhhhhhnnnnn Byrne!!!
best superman origin ever!! great john byrne!!!
Great video.
Nice to see that iconic "A" pin on his shirt collar. I see you, John and i agree.
Amazing guy
Simplemente Epic Bro 🖖🏻
My absolute favourite creator
John was/is my favorite
So cool to see he actually reads other comics. I get the idea that most writers only read their own comic books
I'd really like to meet him, but I'm also scared😅!!! Big fan!!!!
Was a huge fan of John Byrne's Superman. 6:12, I had the issue 'The Mirror Crack'd and always tried to draw part of the front cover artwork..... I couldn't of course and became extremely frustrated!
He was great in the 70's and 80's .
Jack Kirby is the Jack Kirby of your generation, of any ones generation!
Gotta love she hulk though, speaking of which, i wouldn't mind a Hardcover edition of the Trade you showed in this video, i own the issues, don't collect trades but i love Hardcover editions,and in my opinion, she deserves the hardcover treatment!
please call your senators to make this happen! i need a hardback in my collection.. please and thank you!
Hi Novaarg, 2021 here. Did you get the Omnibus?
John is one of the top 5 G.O.A.T.’s...Alpha Flight y’all
I despise the horrible acronym "GOAT' but agree otherwise. 1. Kirby 2. Lee 3. Byrne 4. Ditko 5. Moore (all writers, some artists).
Mark Miller Stan Lee is the only non-artist on that list. Would #6 be Frank Miller?
Easily the best videos on this channel are these
John Byrne is the John Byrne of your generation.
Once i complete the delicate calibrations on my teleportation device.....i will go to this cave of john bryne...and add both he and his entire collection to my menagarie
John Byrne Wolverine is the best.
John "The Great" Byrne!
Abraços do Brasil
Byrne is kind of like a cross between Jack Kirby and Neal Adams. Same kind of sameness as Kirby in drawing facial features (his men and women both have the same faces), but with better figure drawing than Kirby, with more elongated fashion plate like figures in the Adams style.
I love he' s art. He re created Superman. He's vision of krypton was original and believable.
BEST author EVER!
Don't remember if you did or not. But it would be awesome if you'd do an interview with the Brian Pulido of Coffin Comics.
Interview Elliot S Maggin that would be great
Byrne's Superman is still my favourite interpretation of the character. Reducing his powers to merely extraordinary (instead of god-like) made him more interesting and allowed his courage to show through - he COULD be hurt (and often was), but he was still ready to fight to his last breath. Byrne's reinvention of Lois Lane made her a much more appealing, much more believable character - goodbye to the manipulative, starstruck ditz, the "reporter" who couldn't even spell and kept having to be rescued. Byrne's decision to have the Kents still alive added charm and humanity. He destroyed the argument (which Quentin Tarantino hadn't even made yet) that "Clark Kent is Superman's critique of the human race", by making Clark Kent the real person and Superman the mask. Byrne's take on Lex Luthor has now become the definitive one, and deservedly so. For me at the time, Superman comics were never better. I think it's a pity that some of those changes have since been reversed. I think it's even more of a pity that the only story most people remember about Superman over the past thirty years is the one where he died.
For me, his physical depiction of Superman is by far the best I've ever seen.
John Byrne draw the best Sliver Surfer
Why r these videos sooooo short?
Even if all the faces look the same...JB is one of the GOATs. I have the FF Artist Edition, $150 well spent.
Dan Slott is the most MID writer in comics of all time. He isnt bad but he has also not written anything great, ever. Bryrne is a OG. His legacy is solidified and without his shehulk there would be no modern silly deadpool. His FF is my favorite tho. THAT is comic books.
Where's part 2?
Take a closer look at the faces of comic book artists and you'll realize that most of their important characters look like versions of themselves (the artists, genius).
Byrne rules. 'Nuff said :)
