Perhaps the strangest part of all this is that many of the so-called "coincidental" foreshadowing of real-life events in comic books share a common denominator: legendary writer/artist John Byrne. A mainstay of the industry for several decades, Byrne has been involved with seminal X-Men stories like the Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past, spearheaded the Man of Steel Superman reboot, and the creation of Hellboy for Dark Horse. He was also the guy who drew the X-Men issue with the 9/11 imagery, the Marvel Team-Up with the New York blackout, plus another issue of Uncanny X-Men where Japan is rocked by a series of massive earthquakes...the very year Japan was rocked by a series of massive earthquakes, an issue of Man of Steel where Superman manages to stop what looks a lot like the Challenger space shuttle disaster from occurring (around the time it actually did), and an issue of Wonder Woman where the titular Princess Diana was killed the same week the People's Princess died in a car crash. If we've learned nothing else from this article, it's that multi-talented and award winning comic book artist and writer John Byrne is definitely a member of the Illuminati, using superhero stories as false flags from what's really going on out there.
