Trust JB to make even a conversation sequence look dynamic.

JB said: "Woulda bin a real time saver if they'd updated me on that before
they sent me the plot!"

Time saver, true, but think of the extra dough you earned!
And at the time I remember thinking that it seemed odd to get John Byrne
back for some X-Men art only to have the characters standing around
talking, but that the 3 pages of talking seemed to be typical of the (then)
modern approach of doing comics.
Little did I realize it was going to turn in to whole issues of standing around
and talking, instead of interlacing the talk with beating up the bad guys.

I would disagree that it was the trend at the time to have characters standing around talking (this comic is from 1991 ; the era of talking heads was still a ways away). I look at it as a sort of filler issue (Jim Lee did a few pages) where they had various pencillers pitch in. The issue followed "The X-Tinction Agenda" and was a look at all the participants of that crossover interacting in a non-threatening situation.

No, that was DAVID Byrne.

I remember this issue -lots of cool artists!
Big fan of the Claremont/Jim Lee era..beginning of the end though..after XMen 1-3 and Claremont leaving the X-titles turned to dreck.

"
Ha! Just noticed Williams's use of zip-tones. I guess he deliberately tried to invoke a bit Austin..."
----
Y'know, I hadn't realy thought about it until today, but I don't recall Williams ever using zip-a-tone before. So he could indeed have been paying homage to Austin, who always used it to render Storm's cape.

Just noticed this for the first time but the cover to this issue was by Jim Lee and Kevin Nowlan, who doesn't overpower Lee here at all.

Except when it comes to the shadowing of the leg in the foreground.
