Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
I can't quite recall the details but somehow he was forced to do AF, and while he co-created with Claremont, he kind of inherited the whole thing. I know that I'm missing something notable in all this, but he doesn't hold any special affection for it all, unlike FF or X-Men.Kory wrote: ↑13 Jun 2022, 4:07pmDid he co-create the characters?

My kids are watching anime on TV right now. There is a bad guy named Dio and the trainer is called Tom Petty. They also keep playing the intro of "Roundabout" by Yes, but always cut away just after Jon Anderson sings the first line.

Perhaps not, but you can be assured he's the Last in Line....
(....that's pretty much all I've got for Dio material, folks!)
You gotta give the people something good to read...

Just read Byrne's run on Namor, liked it a lot. Now moving into the era where he wrote it, but polarizing artist Jae Lee drew it. I'm warming up to him.

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
Byrne's incessant googling himself will eventually find this and he will interpret your comment as an insult, to which he will respond to it on his board with an insult. Well done.
