I was wondering how long it would take for John Byrne's continuation of his X-men to get recognized.
i was at erald City Comicon back in the late 00s and saw Marc Bagely stand up at his table in front of a long line amd yell "IM GOING CRAZY!!!! CRAZIER THAN JOHN BYRNE!!!!!!"
John Byrne is an immense talent and an unbelievable asshole.
