Or - “F! X! No Static At ALLLLLL…”

Back in the early 80’s, when I started reading comics heavily, I would buy anything drawn by George Perez or John Byrne. At that time, Perez was working pretty much exclusively for DC, and Byrne was Marvel’s Golden Boy, which I contend led to my current love for and roughly encyclopedic knowledge of both universes. In recent years, though, work by either of them is becoming harder and harder to find, especially on a monthly basis. I don’t know if it was the familiarity of John’s art that drew me to this title, or the fact that the trade dress is designed to evoke the comics of my youth, but I immediately wanted to read FX when I saw it in the Previews catalog. Was it worth the wait?
