M me too , especially Byrne , I've bought as much of his stuff as I can , though I've not got hold of any of his early X-men stuff actually with Claremont as its always a bit too expensive whenever I see it listed online, I loved his retelling of Superman post-crisis and his Namor / Fantastic Four stuff in the 1980s .

[Edited 3/14/06 20:14pm] is it , I've bought that 10th circle storyline in JLA but I've not read it yet, I'm sort of going through his 80s work first , I got the first 20odd alpha flight for next to nothing on ebay a few months back so I'll be checking them out eventually . I would probably keep hold of a Byrne drawn comic even if the storytelling was bad purely cos I love his drawing too , a great story and art is ideal but with certain comicbook artists I can be blown away just by the pictures , mainly thats the case with me and Byrne , also Norm Breyfogle and Alan Davis .

Unfortunately, Byrne's work really declined in the mid-90s on. His writing AND his art both started to suffer, and I don't really know why. He almost seems like some hack trying to impersonate Byrne these days. To me, he jumped the shark with Spider-Man: Year One. 
It was an attempt by Marvel to have Byrne work his magic on Spidey the way he had on Supes in the 80s (The Man Of Steel is still one of the all-time great Superman stories ever done). Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same. Byrne has lost something creatively, and I really can't pinpoint what it is. His art is certainly substandard, which is really sad when you think about his past work, & his writing is now completely abysmal. I'll always respect him for his great work on Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four and Superman. I just pretend like this guy named "John Byrne" who is going around destroying Doom Patrol and The Demon is someone else entirely.
