Grounded firmly in our world, with its expectations and societal norms, Byrne explored the impact such superheroes would have on the planet in a realistic way. Next Men\u2019s 30-issue run quickly became one of the most critically acclaimed titles in his storied career. Now, John Byrne&rsquo;s Next Men<!--more-->\u00a0series is back, collected in thick, black-and-white volumes, the first one offering 400+ pages of fantastic\u00a0story and art. The first, \u201chonkin\u2019 phonebook-sized\u201d&#8211;so described by Byrne himself&#8211;of John Byrne\u2019s Compleat Next Men will be in stores May 28.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to the first 12-issues of Next Men, IDW Publishing\u2019s collection of John Byrne\u2019s Compleat Next Men, Volume 1 includes the series\u2019 original story, the 64-page 2112 graphic novel, as well as the MIV back-up strips that ran in the original comics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA quick read of Next Men immediately reveals what a great storyteller Byrne is,\u201d says Justin Eisinger, IDW\u2019s Graphic Novel Editor. \u201cBeyond the stunning art are developed characters and compelling plot points, making Next Men read like a modern-day Hollywood superhero blockbuster movie, only this is the series that defined the formula. And now that the book\u2019s printed we couldn\u2019t be happier\u00a0\u00bbit looks fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asked about the possibility of a new Next Men series, Byrne has said, \u201cIf it looks like Next Men can be done as something other than a vanity project, I will certainly do it. The series has a definite ending\u00a0\u00bbI even know the last line!\u00a0\u00bband I would very much like to shake those 20 or so issues out of my head someday!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About IDW Publishing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IDW is an award-winning publisher of comic books, graphic novels and trade paperbacks, based in San Diego, California.

Beginning humbly enough, with the likes of WHEELIE AND THE CHOPPER BUNCH and DOOMSDAY + 1 (for Charlton Comics), and IRON FIST and THE CHAMPIONS for Marvel, he eventually moved on to Marvel&rsquo;s number one cult book, X-MEN (not yet Uncanny) in 1977.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was his work on X-MEN which truly ignited John&rsquo;s star, and from there he moved to CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE AVENGERS, and a five year run on Marvel&rsquo;s flagship title, FANTASTIC FOUR. Seeking new heights to conquer, in 1986 John accepted the daunting assignment of revamping the oldest and most famous of all superheroes, Superman. Beginning with the hugely successful MAN OF STEEL miniseries, John brought SUPERMAN back into the attention of the fans, and that success continues today. In 1990, John decided to venture into the unpredictable waters of creator owned works, launching NEXT MEN in 1991. Following that success he brought out DANGER UNLIMITED, followed by BABE in 1995. Since then, he has written and drawn such titles as WONDER WOMAN, X-MEN: THE HIDDEN YEARS, LAB RATS, DOOM PATROL, and BLOOD OF THE DEMON. In 2005, he returned to SUPERMAN, performing art duties for ACTION COMICS. He then illustrated THE ATOM for DC before writing and illustrating several new STAR TREK series for IDW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ENGLISH] In the 1990s, acclaimed writer\/artist John Byrne created Next Men, an all-new world of superheroes.
