The first version. Doctor Doom being involved in the second version is predictable. He's always after the power cosmic. It's been done before. If it's not Silver Surfer, it was Terrax. Or the Beyonder....it's been done. The first version seems cleaner.

@Binkley-rj6gf 3 жыл бұрын

This is exactly right. He's literally got to the top of the food chain, and he's doomed (pun) to fulfill a cosmic function by eating. No other purpose for his power, not a ruler of anything, a serf to his appetite/role. Beautiful.

Another great sit down with the great John Byrne. The Doom story is similar to the Secret Wars story from 2015. But either story or ending would have been fun. Marvel should definitely buy the story from John Byrne. They could do these stand alone or what if type stories similar to how DC let Neal Adams do Batman Odyssey. Let the creators have fun without affecting the real timeline.

It's ok if it's a bit repetitive. It's just the kind of thing Doom would do. He keeps trying to acquire the power cosmic. Over and over.

People with huge egos that can't back it up are annoying and are easily dismissed. John Byrne , on the other hand, can back it up and isn't annoying. He's quite winning and can be effortlessly charming. He just doesn't suffer fools lightly. And there's more fools than not in this world. It's got to be more annoying to a genius like him than the average beat. He's got a Galactus sized talent and still has tact and manners with a sly sense of humor. John is a good duel citizen, but at heart a good Canadian lad. Local boy done good. What a legend.

There are a lot of bits missing. As soon as Byrne returned, Archie Goodwin asked for the Last Galactus story. Byrne had a number of books he was working on and he wasn’t on the FF. So he wasn’t jumping to force his end on the FF editors. Some point after, Nova was killed, which ended the last Galactus Story. When the End series started, Marvel asked Byrne to do X-Men the end with Chris Claremont. He agreed and Pitched FF the end and Marvel wanted to do it. Marvel hadn’t talked contract and they canceled the Hidden Years. Byrne exited which ending FF The end and the alt Last Galactus Story.

I am a worshipper at the alter of The Byrne. LOL He is my number one favorite comic book artist and writer. I'm a 70's/80's kid--so every other comic/artist/writer--I've always (unfairly) in the back of my mind compared them to JB. As a writer myself (wannabe anyway heh heh) he has always been a great influence in my mind. I used to draw--I've stopped after a injury to my right hand (someday i may return to doing it)--John is the one I tried to replicate. Like the late great King Kirby (My 2nd favorite) John who himself was Kirby worshipper has such power to his stories and characters and panels (that and he draws the greatest set legs on female characters EVA lol). I just couldn't help just to be in love with almost every thing he has done.

John was a comic geek just like us in his younger days.

Totally bananas & only increasingly epic in scale - fully with a poignant, poetic ending that makes you want to read more of anything this creative mind puts out. Or maybe we should tell you we preferred ending 2 - so Byrne will do the opposite of what we are all hoping (as he is wont to do). Do the uboredictable thing - and do ending 2 Byrne ! :D

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SUPER GIANT SIZED ALIEN BEING (GALACTUS) Now I wonder who might be the face of GALACTUS, next is I wonder when might he finally make his appearance in a movie, and I wonder who might be doing the role of Galactus’s voice, and to add I wonder if (GALACTUS) might ever be introduced as a common enemy that other heroes have to deal with?
