I'm sure I'm just echoing many others here, but I loved it. From the homage to the old style Marvel covers to the places where I laughed out loud because I 'got' the references such as Austin Stevens fighting the robot bigfoot. Can't wait for next issue!

my friend laughed out loud at the "bionic" punch to the silverback.

After that annoyingly smug Broken Frontier review, it was good to read the review from comicsbulletin. The writer of that review obviously understood what the book was aiming at. Too bad he couldn't spell Wayne's name right.

David, that punch was the payoff wasn't it? The sound effect is the one we all did as children.

Very fun. Great art, and a dynamite story that I wouldn't mind my little boys reading (well, when they can read). Who's messing with this kid? F.A.R.T.?
F.A.R.T. I love that stuff.
Oh, and the nemesis looked right out of the Demon. Jeez, do I miss that series. The opposite of FX I suppose, but great all the same...

Got it today. It was fun! I think I'd have liked some narration at times to slow down the pace in certain places. But it's very very good for a guy who isn't a "real professional writer". Of course, the art was superb! Either my shop apparently didn't order extra copies or they all sold out before today. I'd have asked but the boss wasn't in.

I suspect if I were paying for a project like this out of my own pocket,
slowing things down would be a luxury I would have to think more than
twice about.

Slowing the pace, as I mean, would be setting up a situation before the action. It wouldn't involve more panels or pages. See Roger Stern's recent JLA story, for instance. Tis a minor point, but hey...I want to give the guy some kind of helpful advice...

Wayne and John,
I finally got to read FX #1 today. I read a lot of comics, but usually the person reading them is me as a 30 year old writer, looking at them with a critical eye, seeing what works, what doesn't work, and then applying those lessons to my own work. I found it impossible to read FX from that point of view. Why? Because the 8-year old kid that I was a long time ago came to the surface and read this one! I haven't felt that feeling in a long long time. It was the feeling I used to get, way back when I discovered Spider-Man, Captain America, and the Fantatic Four for the first time.
I truly wish someone would send a copy of this issue to every editor, every writer, and every artist at Marvel, with a note attached saying "This is what you should be doing! This is the magic you should be striving for! This is what it's all about!"

Luck out that the LCS in my area had copies. Great read. Looking forward to future issues and hopefully a storyline or two that will feature appearances by the Foundation or Homefront. Would love to see some of the other heroes that Wayne has for his universe. And of course Mr. Byrne's renditions of these characters.

Yes. Tends to discourage the straight-to-eBay crowd."

Oh I would have loved to have my JB autographs personalized at MOC '04, put I was just too intimidated from standing in front of my idol to dare to ask such a thing.
I was delighted when Roger Stern spontaneously personalized his autograph for me, I thought it was something people just didn't do at american comicbook conventions.

To stay on topic, I can't wait to get my FX #1 copy. I have ordered it, as long as the 5 next ones, online from a Belgian comicbook store, and they will ship them to me all at once, so I'll have to wait a few months unfortunately.
