I assume what you mean is that JB&SoCH are responsible for Jean Grey's
return.  Please note that FF#286, in which the return occurs, does not
have Byrne's name in the credits.  He did the book, all right, but he
refused to have his name on it.  So blaming John Byrne is, uh, a little
inappropriate; he doesn't seem happy about all this either.

There have been several already.  The problems include infantile plot,
ridiculous characterization, indefensible premises, and a general triumph
of greed over common sense and continuity.
