It would be consistent. A few years ago, Byrne was slated to draw a Batman miniseries. He only drew the first issue because when Shooter found out about it, he told Byrne he couldn't do any work for DC if he wanted to work for Marvel. Of course, (I think) Byrne was under contract to Marvel then, and he's a free lancer now. I hope the rumor is true. Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "A flash in front of my eyes ...
