Well, finally we see a piece that captures what it is like to talk with JB in person - in particular, JB’s quick sense of humor.  Your humor is organic to a conversation and not forced, and it really comes out here.  We already know you can tell a story on the page, but you are a natural storyteller in real life as well.  It’s really great to see your impact on Superman acknowledged and celebrated during this anniversary.

I liked the short piece that was done with Walt Simonson, but it felt like a trailer to a longer feature that I wanted to see.  What makes this longer piece so satisfying is its deeper dive into JB’s inspiration and interpretation of the character.  Along with a good sense of humor about the subject, I really like that we hear about the frustration that was felt in creating the book.  JB, your candor is appreciated as I think people really do not talk enough about the difficulties that some of our favorite books experience before they get to the reader.  With all the challenges you faced, I’m glad you hung in there and made some fantastic stories.

Kudos to the producers for showing actual comic book pages.  I feel some of the network comic book docs are overproduced and don’t let us see enough of the artwork.  It was really great to hear JB talk about “Metropolis - 900 Mi” and see the pages.  Points off for showing other people’s artwork, which considering the amount of source material was totally unnecessary.  I like the host - he seems knowledgeable and enthusiastic about comic books.

Hey, what gives?  The Internet says this John Byrne guy is a stark-raving-mad, angry, egotistical lunatic... but this guy is warm, funny, pleasant and self-effacing.

It must be a Fake News conspiracy!

(Seriously, great interview... always a treat to put a voice to the many posts we all read around here!)
