John Lindley Byrne is a British-born Canadian-American author and artist of comic books. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on nearly every major American superhero.
Byrne's better-known work has been on Marvel Comics' X-Men and Fantastic Four and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics’ Superman franchise. Coming into the comics profession exclusively as a penciler, Byrne began co-plotting the X-Men comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with Fantastic Four (where he also started inking his own pencils). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including Next Men and Danger Unlimited. He also wrote the first issues of Mike Mignola's Hellboy series and produced a number of Star Trek comics for IDW Publishing.
Il crossover mi ha un po' annoiato, riconosco la qualità, ma la parte centrale dei racconti mi è sembrata noiosa. Il finale è avvincente e drammatico al punto giusto. Paradossalmente, ho apprezzato molto l'ultima parte incentrata sul Dottor Stratos. Il finale è discutibile, ma il resto l'ho gradito.
