Weird Comics History, Episode 6: John Byrne

This week Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) bring you the career and conjecture of famous comic book creator, John Byrne! We'll talk about Byrne's early days breaking into the comics industry, his seminal work on X-Men and Fantastic Four at Marvel, and then gush over his post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman reboot beginning with the Man of Steel miniseries! Then we'll go into his more recent career, and go into his infamous commentary for which he is probably known best these days. Prepare to get "Byrned" by one of comic books' most prolific and outspoken creators!
