    When looking for Byrne's Wonder Woman covers, I was struck with how often she was placed into personal peril. But this one I liked.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Not only is this my favorite Byrne cover, but it's one of my top 5 covers of all time:

    Tigra, laying on your side
    Stripes across your eyes
    And you look me up and down
    Angel, what you smoking?
    It's a fire that you keep
    It's a fire at your feet
    Like a cross around your neck
    Tonight, you are a blessing

    I'm not that familiar with much of Byrne's work; other than his creator-owned stuff.

    While Byrne is not my favorite, he did write this Batman story, which is a great story. Only two words in this entire issue.

    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    While the Dark Phoenix saga delivered some of the most epic covers of the decade.

    Jean Gray channeling cosmic powered Emma Peel was almost to much for my young mind to handle

    I appreciated that, even with her main power being telepathic, Jean still took time to use her Thighmaster.
