His Alpha Flight was frustrating for me at the time. I wanted another more standard superhero team with new characters. After the first couple of issues though it was more about the team's solo adventures. I drifted away after Matlo started but I think I was only buying it because Northstar was gay according to Byrne. I too remember Byrne talking about not loving his Alpha Flight. The funny thing is when it came out in an omnibus I bought it right away drawn to it for all the reasons I didn't care for it originally. I actually have yet to read Byrne's FF run but also have the omnibuses, so someday. His writing has never been a draw for me but I really enjoyed his lost generation maxiseries with Marvel and the Generations ones he did for DC. I tried his Superman and Wonder Woman runs but thought they were boring and hated how the retcon on Supes messed up the Legion. Might have to check out his Namor series and actually read his Ff run since I have that on the shelf.

Fair play!
