John Lindley Byrne (born July 6, 1950) is a British-born American comic-book writer and artist. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on many major American superheroes. Byrne's better-known work has been on Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Fantastic Four and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics’ Superman franchise, the first issue of which featured comics' first variant cover. Coming into the comics profession exclusively as a penciler, Byrne began co-plotting the X-Men comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with Fantastic Four (where he started inking his own pencils). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including Next Men and Danger Unlimited. He scripted the first issues of Mike Mignola's Hellboy series and produced a number of Star Trek comics for IDW Publishing. In 2015, Byrne and his longtime X-Men collaborator Chris Claremont were inducted into the comic book hall of fame.

I had the original comics and I am grateful that I could read Byrne's run in a graphic novel! Always enjoy Byrne's art and his storytelling has improved immensely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Namor (and Namorita) on Wall Street
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2011

Namor Visionaries: John Byrne, vol. 1 collects issues #1-9 of Marvel's 1990 series, Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Like the other Visionaries trade paperbacks, production quality is only okay: the low-gloss paper is thinner and grainier than that used in Marvel's Premiere edition graphic novels. The graphic novel also lacks bonus content.

The multi-issue storyline takes place after the events collected in  Atlantis Attacks Omnibus  and was intended to re-vamp the character of Namor, who had not had his own ongoing series since the 1970s. John Byrne's version of the Atlantean casts him as the CEO of a New York-based mega-corporation, which he uses to fight pollution and crazed eco-terrorists. His cousin, Namorita, serves as something of a sidekick and is developed wonderfully by Byrne (the Namorita in Nicieza's  New Warriors Classic - Volume 1 --also from 1990--feels stale in comparison). Byrne wrote these issues over 20 years ago, when superhero stories were much simpler than they are today, but many of the plot points (a giant oil spill, a crooked wall street) will feel weirdly current to contemporary readers. As for the art, Byrne's pencils will probably not be everyone's cup of tea, though they're certainly not bad.

Ultimately, Namor (or Namorita) fans can't go wrong with this graphic novel. For everyone else, it's a fun read, but there's better stuff out there.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2018

As someone else pointed out, some of the pages are out of order. That comment was left back in Dec '17. This is March '18 and the Kindle version is still wrong. Issue 4 goes, as best as I can tell, 1-5, 14-19, 8-13, 6-7, 20-22. Not horrible, at least they're all still there. But this was the issue that got me hooked on the series, so it was easy for me to piece together.

5 stars. Haven't even read it yet.
I'm assuming Namor does a great deal of hind quarter kicking, more likely than not--Attuma, along with an endless, thought-out-loud stream of narcissistic banter.

Imperius Rex!

The Sub-mariner remains a timeless character. Reading this from 1990, it’s clear that Byrne’s storytelling talents are still potent nearly 30 years later, standing above the mediocrity of most other comics from that period. His rendition of Namor is as good as it gets.

Sure, the look of some of the characters (especially their look) are dated (aah, the 90's). But this series is great to show how John Byrne (who both writes and draws in these first issues) made an old character relevant again, including finding a very clever way to "retcon" both the good and the bad he did in the past with his unique mutant physiology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing fishy here, Byrne writes and draws Namor, the Sub-Mariner....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2017

John Byrne is a great artist, a decent plotter, but a poor scripter. I would read any book he draws, and do, but have to admit he is very simplistic with his writing.
This collection of Namor’s adventures is not bad at all, but Namor is a tough character to make likeable, and a tough one to feature in his own book. Namor is just not interesting enough. Even Byrne realises this and throws in plenty of guest stars and sub plots to help carry the book. Namor as a guest in other books is perfectly fine, but he’s just not leading man material.
The stories are all standard superhero fare, with nothing too taxing. They look, as you would expect, gorgeous, and Byrne draws some superb two page spreads.
On balance, worth a read, but nothing ground breaking.
