Whew !!

Got to this first this month !!

Just picked up my stash from the LCS -- huge Star Trek day (4 or 5 titles) and TWO Byrne books -- FX #5 and Assignment Earth #3.

FX #5 --- possible the best issue of the series so far.  I don't like to give story points away -- but suffice it to say, only George Perez could cram more action and characters into this book.  (any chance of Perez being the artist for FX3, Wayne?)

I sense Wayne was watching the Chronicles of Narnia when he wrote this issue.

The best thing about this issue --- after it gets all amped up and exciting --- it leads to #6 - and #6 will have to be killer to wrap this story up !!!!!    ARRRRRGGGGG !!!!!  Another 30 days!

Hey, Wayne -- any news on FX2 you want to discuss here?  I know some beans were spilled elsewhere -- please feel free to spill more if you want.

Best issue yet.

ONLY COMPLAINT -- the coloring.  I've decided it's NOT the colorists or the color choices -- it's the paper stock.  This high stock glossy that IDW uses is too nice a paper to give that "old school" feel that the colors are trying so hard to convey.  I'd love to see this series reprinted on cheaper newspaper stock.

John Byrne will ALWAYS have something to do with "Wayne Osbourne's FX" -- a fan's ultimate dream commission.

I truly admire what you did here, WO -- and I will support all your future projects with my $4 every month (actually, $8 since I buy my son a copy to thrash as he reads it -- speaking of which -- this glossy paper doesn't fold as well and the newspaper stock -- falls out of pants pockets)

And guys, I REALLY do appreciate the interest, but I don't think it's
appropriate to talk about the next mini-series on John's board when John
himself has nothing to do with it. We can and should do that elsewhere.

--------------------------

Such discussions seem to do quite well in the weekly comics threads, so we have an avenue in place.

Great !

And Steven, I don't like you, you lucky guy !

Jealous me !
