I'm just wondering if he says that about AF because he doesn't think he could ever top it? I don't know...*goes off to re-read 1-13 again*
With Byrne, I decided long ago to appreciate his work (his good stuff at least) and forget about his personality. If he wants to slam his own creations, that's his business, fact is that I enjoyed them (and still do) and his opinion doesn't take away from that. I have had enough dealings with other comic creators who are genuine nice people, and a pleasure to talk with to take him with a grain of salt.
