But in further iterations, the sentinels had taken over the world. Those fighting back were a resistance force, not opposing nations. Could a team be formed of non-American and Canadian* heroes to try to take on the sentinels?

*Well, and Mexican heroes - but I don't think I know of any.

ITEM: I have found that Mr. Byrne's writing does great work on intensity and action - but the light moments seem a bit lacking. Not fun moments; they're there. But (likely intentionally), the en passant humorous moments seem somewhat rare. (This was not something I noticed in ST:TNV by the way. Those books were so good, I heard the characters in my head, and had I not known better, I'd have sworn I was reading stories from season 4.)

ITEM: This may be a little weird, but I find that almost all characters in Mr. Byrne's stories are superlatives. There are never any villains who are really good but not great, or heroes who simply fail at something - which will occur on occasion, I think. I'm thinking mostly of Fantastic Four and X-Men, but it seemed to occur in Superman and Wonder Woman too. Obviously, it didn't happen all the time; but it seemed that an occasional faux pas might have showed up.

ITEM: Homages to previous stories, with respect to the original creators, seem to abound in Mr. Byrne's stories. Off the top of my head, I think of the Infant Terrible, Wonder Woman's aerodrome (sic?) that formed her invisible jet, Mesmero, Diablo, etc. There IS a history; nothing happens in a historical vacuum. I always love those callbacks.

ITEM: The wry smile. Not a full blown grin or laugh, but that sort of half-twerking of the mouth. Always a delight to see that.

So, some good and not so good tropes from Mr. Byrne.

Oh.

Wow.

I agree with Brian - “Holy shit!”   I thought the previous splash was the way to go, but this is awesome!!
