Autism, duh

He's ultimate example of a fan turned pro.

Angry pedophile

The problem is, your guns aren't even loaded.

Litetally "not muh _____"

>Grant Morrison: Now, although it is alive, it isn't what we would call conscious. It's growth and it's actions are essentially reactive like a plant, or an oyster, or John Byrne.

>that story where Byrne fucked up a potential merger between Marvel and DC in the 80's.

Not sure where a merger would have been a good thing but reading the depths of this guy's autism is always funny

Elaborate! ELABORATE!

>it's a "Byrne writes an entire comic book to answer a question no one was asking besides Byrne" comic

Poor John Byrne. No one likes John Byrne. Not even John Byrne fans. Especially John Byrne fans.

>WHY ELSE WOULD SANDMAN AND NORMAN OSBORN HAVE THE SAME HAIR COLOR? THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY COUSINS.

Jim Shooter made him feel in secure with his big dick and big muscles

Aspergers.

Not even joking, he's probably in that area of the spectrum.

Being very Godly.

He'd rather copy and paste photos then draw something

He's too much of a True Brit.

>Are these actual nipples or some sort of DC Nipples one-shot
>"It's because I'm also a reasonably competent artist and I have a tongue stud."
>"I bet Mark Waid never made you feel like this did he?"

Purportedly Marvel was going to buy out DC the way DC did to Charlton and Fawcett. Byrne got wind of it, bothered the wrong people about it (specifically, writing Marvel's Superman or whatever) and the deal feel through.

I don't quite believe it myself.

>Marvel almost buys DC
>some dummy lets it slip to Byrne who's working for Marvel at the time
>Byrne marches up to the CEO of Marvel at that time and starts rambling about how much he wants to write and draw Superman
>complete with visual aides and test pages and shit

>a lot of people believe he axed the deal because he didn't want to deal with spergs

Funny story, but the last part is pretty presumptuous and doesn't make any sense.

i think the funniest part is he still ended up doing Man of Steel

Yup.

Wait, Sandman and Norman are cousins?

In Byrne's head

Because of this once-popular hairstyle.

Well, okay then.

You goddamn right.

When will they learn?

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the post-crisis Superman reboot, I can confirm this is an accurate statement.

Every time I see a picture of Shooter I think he's going to twirl out the Dracula cape and throw Steve Gerber through a plate glass window for missing his deadlines.

>Purportedly Marvel was going to buy out DC the way DC did to Charlton and Fawcett
No, this was a rumor Jim Shooter made up to intimidate DC, with him calling various DC talents and telling them they had better play ball with him if they didn't want to get replaced. Somehow Byrne got wind of it and believed it and started making an annoyance of himself (as usual).

DC's management found out what was going on and it ended with Marvel's in-house counsel telling Jim he was on a real short leash when it came to "pranks" involving their distinguished competition.

You have to understand that Jim came to New York City to write Legion of Super-Heroes for DC when he was fifteen years old (being 6 feet plus tall, DC management then didn't know how young he was), and it was always in the back of his mind that being Marvel EiC wasn't nearly enough.

Present day Jim's not this delusional, afaik

bryne made magpie right? he's good in my book for that at least

I feel it. There are a couple of big Byrne omnis that I want/don't want for this very reason.

Shooter is the hero current Marvel Comics needs.

Who all is in the picture? I recognize Shooter, Byrne, Gruenwald and Roger Stern.

>muh birthing matrix makes Superman American

Generations 1 is great, though.

His Superman run is a case of trying to have your cake and eat it too.

He's just an autistic pedophile.

Too many "gal pals" in his life

it can't be saved, user.

Delet this

I love his work, think he's a phenomenal writer and artist who usually really 'gets' the characters he works on, expands their premise in smart and interesting ways and elevates them to a near-mythological level symbolically.

But he's still a spectacular, suppurating cunt of a human being.

>tfw when you like all of his work, but everything you read about him makes you cringe.

I thought the first one was great and the second one was kinda decent. Third one wasn't good.

He got old.

Byrne is Sup Forums personified
Prove me wrong

Easy. Byrne has talent.

Well put.

trigger discipline

>No, this was a rumor Jim Shooter made up to intimidate DC, with him calling various DC talents and telling them they had better play ball with him if they didn't want to get replaced. Somehow Byrne got wind of it and believed it and started making an annoyance of himself (as usual).

This is hilarious, and does sound like something Shooter would make up.

>Just gotten into comics
>Read Sensational She-Hulk
>Damn this Byrne guy is really good
>And he keeps referencing all this iconic shit he worked on
>that's cool he sounds like a cool dude glad he's got his limelight

>find out about his stance on Vision
>and Australian celebrities
>and little girls

>find out about his stance on Vision
>and Australian celebrities
>and little girls

Uh.... I need context for all of those.

Byrne gets super autistic about robots having emotions, because as an autist he's an emotionless robot that malfunctions when he recieves data input that does not compute with his emotionally stunted processor. When he wrote Avengers he mind wiped Vision and had him act like BEEB BOOP I AM A ROBOT and broke him up with Wanda because he doesn't support human-robot marriage. Also he's basically a pedo but it's never stopped him being attracted to fully grown buxom women, he just prefers twelve year olds.

No clue what his problem with Australians is though.

>Australian celebrities

This intrigues me.

Wait.... he actually said that? Do you have like interviews of him saying that or something?

He hated the Vision/Scarlet Witch marriage because Vision was "a toaster" so he had the Vision destroyed and rebuilt as a truly emotionless robot which was represented by him being pure white in the first half of the '90s.

He thought Steve Irwin was an asshole for getting himself killed and leaving his kids without a father or something to that effect.

He's written quite a few questionable comics with older men and younger girls i.e. Fantastic Four where a 12-year-old Sue Storm was getting wet the first time she met college student Reed Richards.

He thought Steve Irwin was an asshole for having the job he did despite having kids and hopes his death was painful/that he's in Hell.
Or something to that effect.

Also he's wholly gone on record that he's attracted to prepubescent girls.

He kind of had a point with the Irwin thing, it's a bit dickish to make a living working with dangerous animals when you've got a wife and kids. Byrne being Byrne though he had to be a complete dick about it and insulted the man and his family right after he died. Not to mention his wife did the exact same job and his daughter does it too now, so they weren't exactly unprepared for what happened.

If you can be bothered, just go searching. Byrne has been saying outrageous autistic shit on the net for way more than a decade at this point.

Be warned, he says almost all of it on his board, and he deletes things that start to catch heat that he can't avoid, so a lot of your results will be people at other sites discussing whatever fucking insane thing Byrne just said rather than the original post.

If Fanboy Rampage has archives anywhere that's probably a good place to check.

He wanted Lara to come to earth (America) while she was pregnant and then die giving birth so Superman would be born an American citizen (so supes like a Mexican anchor baby)

Why was Byrne so hard up on Superman being born an American citizen ? He was adopted by the Kents anyway.
Maybe he wanted to run for president ? (It was mentioned in at least one silver age comic that superman couldn't be president because he was born on krypton)

The pedo thing seems to be when he made Reed Richards fall in love with little girl sue (not sure how old she was suppose to be in the comic all his kids are drawn the same)

And teen Lana kissing adult Superman which didn't seem THAT bad.

And And his OMAC series, where the MC has sex with a teenage prostitute heavily implied to be underage
And his Doom Patrol, where they are send back in time to their past bodies, so race car driver Cliff Steele winds up kissing little girl Rita Farr.
It's called pattern recognition user.

Yeah it happens too much for it to be coincedence. Like Claremont and mind control/bondage/domination, this is his fetish.

Didn't Byrne make that one comic where Superman and Big Barda where mind controlled.into making a sex tape? And this was all part of Darksied's plan?

Yeah, but it wasn't part of Darkseid's plan, he kicked Sleez out of Apocalypse for being too sleazy. He did watch the Barda porn though and showed it to Scott Free to see the look on his face as he was getting cucked.

He doesn't like immigrants.

Nah, it's creepy because he always has it the opposite. It's the little girl Sue who falls in love with adult Reed. It's the little girl Lana who forces adult Superman to kiss her.

For it to be non-predatory in the minds of those folk, they need to believe that they're just helpless before a strong and legitimate attraction.

but byrne is an immigrant!!!

ah shit yeah, I remember it now in the Generations series, Teen Lana (Now that I think about it, was she even a teenager then?) Had Future Superman kiss her.

So, who's crazier-Byrne, Adams, or Claremont?

he's not brown, so he just counts as an expatriate

Byrne was so upset because he wasn't actually born in America he went out of his way to make sure Superman was constitutionally allowed to run for president

Reminds me of the stories where they go on about "why did Abin Sur have a spaceship" or "why were all the kryptonians on krypton when it exploded"

Doesn't seem like something the average fan cared about

>this picture

>"why did Abin Sur have a spaceship"

One of Green Lantern's most basic powers is unassisted space flight though, it really doesn't make any sense that he was in a spaceship to begin with. It's not something that deserved multiple stories explaining it, but it's still dumb.

Definitely Adams. He's a Hollow Earth Conspiracy nut, Byrne's just super autistic and Claremont's just a gentrified degenerate. Batman Odyssey is the kind of exquisite madness a genius going completely fucking bonkers could conceive of, Byrne and Claremont are far too centered for that.

>PG: Your Fantastic Four miniseries? Cat or girlfriend?
>GM: Caring for sick girlfriend
>PG: Did she die?
>GM: No, she recovered. That's why it's only four issues.

>Reminds me of the stories where they go on about "why did Abin Sur have a spaceship"

Didn't Alan Moore do one of those?

Yep, it's where Johns got Sodom Yat and Atrocious' planet from.

>Also he's wholly gone on record that he's attracted to prepubescent girls.
Well, who isn't?

>He's a Hollow Earth Conspiracy nut,

Please user, don't libel him. He's an expanding Earth conspiracy nut.

People who can get within 500 feet of a school.

Why have a car when you can walk? If I didn't read the explanation I would never have thought that it was weird in the first place

I know this gets thrown around a lot, but he probably does have some form of autism with the way he acts.

Was he the guy who made Superboy the gay baby Lex Luthor had with Superman?

No.

the society

Geoff Johns did that.

That was Geoff Johns little fanboy sperg out. I don't have the images saved, but there's an old issue of the 90s Superboy comic with a letter from young Johns where he suggests that it would be an interesting idea if Luthor turned out to be Superboy's human DNA donor. The editor who answered the letter shot the idea down. But then years later when Johns is actually working for DC and writing Teen Titans, he retconned it into reality himself.

>poor John
Hey, now. Let's not start pitying him, he's still an enormous cunt.

The best part of the story was Darkseid admitting that he employs agents on Earth to get porn for him.

I've been meaning to read Johns but I've been avoiding him because he seems like a DC Bendis. So are his Green lantern and Aquaman 52 books just as bad?

Vast majority of his work is good. JSA, Action Comics, Flash, Booster Gold, etc. Justice League is the only thing I'd say to stay away from along with maybe his post-Final Crisis Flash stuff I guess (it's not awful in the context of knowing it was setting up for other arcs but not really worth it as stories on their own).

Really, the main difference between John and Bendis is that John is constantly good to an extant while Bendis is constantly shit. While John writes the occasional streak of shitty books. I'd say John actually cares about his stories and the characters, its just sometimes the fans doesn't like what he does. Bendis doesn't care and just writes shit that will anger everyone.

Between the two, John as a little more artistic integrity than Bendis. Which is already ridiculous to say considering the medium.

Johns is closer to Slott than Bendis.

I dunno, I loved Starlin's Cosmic stuff and he constantly fucked with editorial.
Like the time he somehow got the CCA picture edited on one of his covers, and nobody noticed for years.

Didn't Claremont pay a hooker to dress up like Storm? I mean I'm not saying that's an example of him being crazy but that's still out there.

That's just a rumor.

What's funny is that if you go onto his forum, one of the constant complaints he and his disciples have is the "fan turned pro." Byrne is the chief exemplar of this phenomenon and they can't even see it.

Also follow the footnote to the entire thread at his "forum" it's a real hoot.

>little girls
en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Byrne#Pedophilia
Also read any of his stories that feature young girls, 12 years old or so.

For more fun read what he has to say about pretty much anything.

en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_Byrne

He also keeps mentioning his "young female friends" he has visit Byrne Manor.
As in teens. He tries to make them watch old movies and appreciate the toys and stuff he has spread all over his house like a manchild.
