"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was one title where his "Back! Back to the way it was when first published, I say!" modus operandi REALLY suited the characters. He took them back to the emotional core of the Lee/Kirby days, with bonus smarts and agency for Sue.

And I still think his take on Doctor Doom was the definitive one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

with bonus smarts and agency for Sue.

His remake of Sue was definitely a high point not only for his run but for the character.

I really liked Sue! She seems like she's a pretty great strong female character for comics.

She didn't used to be. She was the wimpiest simp in the Marvel universe. But Byrne's remake of her was true to her roots and let her grow up and into her powers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If people do want to go out and buy these Watchmen prequels, they would be doing me an enormous favor if they would just stop buying my other books.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So far the shorts have been very hit or miss (mostly miss) but that one looks entertaining.

Ugh, I just read Ghost World, and it made me almost physically ill. Enid and Becky are so fucking awful for no good reason at all, and I didn't see any point to any of it. The last two chapters could have saved the book, but I'd had it long before that point.

Heh. And here I am with two (count 'em!) Enid dolls in my living room.
