\"fx1cover_final.jpg\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] Official Press Release – Veteran artist and fan-favorite John Byrne is returning to his roots with the publication of a new superhero comic in the form of IDW Publishing’s (www.idwpublishing.com<\/a>) FX. Hitting the stands in March, this six-part series tells the story of a new hero for the ages. Struck down by a mysterious accident, Tom Talbot awakens to find that playing pretend has suddenly become all too real: He now has power limited only by his imagination. Comic legend Byrne provides the cover art and interior pencils and inks for the entire series created and written by Wayne Osborne.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Byrne is back doing superhero comics, only this time he’s doing it for us,\u00a0\u00bb says Chris Ryall, publisher and editor-in-chief of IDW Publishing, referring to the acclaimed art that Byrne created for comics, such as Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Fantastic Four and DC Comics’ Superman.<\/p>\n

The first six FX issues follow the adventures of Tom, who has a mysterious accident that gives him an unusual power-whatever he pretends to do actually happens. \u00ab\u00a0If he makes an airplane noise and puts out his arms, he can actually fly,\u00a0\u00bb says Osborne. \u00ab\u00a0It’s how kids play, but when he pretends, it actually happens.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Osborne chose to do this story as a tribute to all of his favorite comics and as a nod to a long tradition of comic heroes. \u00ab\u00a0He’s a hero because he does the right thing, simply because it’s the right thing to do, and he has fun while he’s doing it,\u00a0\u00bb explains Osborne. \u00ab\u00a0He’s a hero for all ages-for those who have a little bit of a kid still inside them and for kids themselves. If you are a kid, I wanted it to inspire you to pretend to be him for a little while. If you are an adult, I wanted it to help you remember what it was like to be a kid.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

The FX cast also includes Silverback, \u00ab\u00a0a proverbial talking comic book gorilla,\u00a0\u00bb says Osborne; Jack, who is Tom’s best friend; and Vicki, who stumbles on Tom’s secret because of her ability to read minds. \u00ab\u00a0Vicki figures out Tom’s secret while he is daydreaming, and she gets sucked into the adventure,\u00a0\u00bb adds Osborne.<\/p>\n
