Can comeone recommend some John Byrne written books where the writing isn't garbage?

He drew plenty of good stuff, but I've yet to stumble on anything he's written that isn't wank.

You didn't like his Fantastic Four run or his Fourth World run?

I can understand the latter being an acquired taste, though.

I've mostly read his post-2002 work, as the mid-80's to late 90's are the biggest hole in my backlog. FF and Alpha Flight are the only ones I've ever heard praise for in his writing and I'll get to them eventually.

Wait, scratch that, post-98 because I read his attempt to reinvent Spider-Man in ASM. Guy's writing just seems opposed to what I enjoy in literature, so maybe he's just not for me.

Yeah he isn't for you. I appreciate your curiosity OP, but yeah he's a fanboy in the end & some of us love him for that.

I don't think you'd be one of them.

His She Hulk was good. Just avoid everything after he left Marvel in the 80s.

I've got nothing against fanboyism, just continuity whoring and bad dialogue. The guy seems too concerned with making things "correct" instead of branching out or building on his contemporaries, at least on mainstream cape books. Maybe his older stuff is better about it.

Yes, because it is totally not a valid criticism that the guy who has to retcon Sandman to be Norman Osborne's relative because their HAIR is similar might care way too much about continuity and arbitrary details.

I thought his Fourth World stuff was mediocre. Honestly out of that whole period that started when he dumped Next Men for Wonder Woman, The only stuff I truly enjoyed from him was the Batman/Captain America crossover, the first two Generations miniseries, and maybe X-Men The Hidden Years.

Next Men. Where if you have sex with someone superpowered, you get an STD that gives you superpowers. And if you have sex with someone else, you give them an STD that gives them superpowers, too.

It had some really good books, but I get the feeling OP means that he hasn't read the majority of that period.

You know.
The part that's fucking garbage.
