As a generality - at what point does someone pursue defamation? Look at the body of work and the characters JB has created. How does that accusation make sense?

I do like how one Youtuber put it:
QUOTE:
| Who is this book for? Well, I would say it's for John Byrne. It was something he was doing more or less for himself. But if you're a fan of that X-Men era, or like me consider that to be the cream of the crop of X-Men stories, then this picks off right where they leave off and they fit right in. |

What a joy it is to read this book. It's a whole new
experience from the original release.
Classy to dedicate the book to Len Wein and Dave Cockrum -
"pathfinders" indeed.
And I really appreciate that Chris Ryall's contrinbution is
mentioned in the forward and is also included in the press
articles. My favorite era of JB's work is the IDW years
when Chris Ryall was in charge. We got to see JB as a
seasoned storyteller do some amazing work in which he
stretched past his already considerable legacy. Star Trek,
Next Men, Jurassic Park, Doomsday 1.0, Angel - all amazing.
And STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS was groundbreaking.
Great to see Chris acknowledged - JB fans owe him a debt of
gratiutde for having such good taste!

The Byrnaissance is really something to behold - just caught a random Youtube comment calling JB a "national treasure"! Even though I've been looking forward to this book for so long, I never had this on my bingo card!

The big test will be if this continues to volumes 2 and 3!

I am also so thankful for Chris Ryall and his role in bringing so many excellent and enjoyable JB creations to us fans, and the world!With this latest one really delighting so many. Its been such a pleasure to be scanning social media lately, and seeing so many expressions of joy from people snagging their copy of volume one, of the amazing X-Men Elsewhen. So nice to see JB's talent being deservedly appreciated like this. Good times!

Did an interview with the New York Times yesterday. Two hours! I wonder how much will survive?

I really, really hope the NYTimes doesn't go for anything Bad-Byrne, grab up any old comments, take them out of context, interpret them, characterize them, and give you some hits while ostensibly just reporting on your rep. Oy!
