Man, that's a toughie. Byrne has the height and reach, but Perez has a deadly left hook, and can take a ton of punishment.

 

Barring a lucky combination from Byrne or a hideout gun in someone's trunks I think I have to give it to Perez

Perez would wipe the floor with that sawed off little mess.

If Byrne gets to make up all the rules as he does on his board site then Byrne for sure. Byrne Robotics

Doug Mahnke...

George Perez. John Byrne would get distracted by his own reflection.

Based on artwork, I love both of their styles. But, Byrne's work in the 80's has a slight edge for me. It had a Kirby-style feel for a different generation. Now, I think Perez's artwork has held up better as he ages. It seems that inkers don't have as much effect on his work as they do on Byrne's. Byrne's recent work has always left me wanting.

as an artist, edge to perez. as to who's had a bigger impact in the medium, byrne. his FF run was truly Fantastic.

[supapimp]

byrne. never really did ever dig perez.

[TupennyConan]

I argue that Byrne's failure to grow as an artist gives the edge to Perez; who grew & developed into a better artist, year after year. Perez wins the death match.

I think Perez has always stood out from the pack. With Byrne, as much as I love his work, most of his characters have close to the same face whether it was Fantastic Four, Avengers, or Uncanny X-Men. That is, unless the character had some distinguishing features which Byrne could not force into his standard mold.

 

Just take a look at Next Men from the 90s and you feel with most of the faces you are looking at characters he did in his Fantastic Four run.

 

But both are amazing - Perez is just slightly more diverse in his character development, IMHO.

I thought we were just talking about throwing these guys in a cage and seeing who comes out alive? I still give it to Perez either way.

Perez, without a doubt.

Perez is a consummate perfectionist....and he has never compromised that standard for a greater commercial success. The same , arguably, can't be said about Byrne. Perez will always be the background king...although Byrne may have a better sense of storytelling. I personally would avoid ranking them as I've had countless hours of enjoyment due to the efforets of each. GOD BLESS...

P.S. To show I'm not Byrne bashing, one of my favorite comic runs of all time was Byrne's re boot of Spidey's first year...although I can't remember the exact title.
