This to my eternal shame is one I haven't had a chance to catch up on. I intended to as well - particularly after I wrapped up the Fourth Age Saga by Kirby, as I understand the Byrne Superman period is really quite steeped in Kirby stuff.
Thank god though, I have seen The Animated Series. As an un-caught-up reader, how Kirby is the Byrne run? And how Byrne is The Animated Series?
