FX is a six-issue comic book limited series written by creator Wayne Osbourne and drawn by John Byrne. It's published by IDW Publishing. The series was the result of a challenge Byrne has placed on anyone who was willing to pay him a disclosed price for commission work.

Publication history

"FX" was a fan-commissioned series, John Byrne made it known on his message board that he was open to full-comic commissions, at a cost of $20,000 an issue, [ [http://blahblahblahblog.quickdfw.com/archives/2008/03/an-fx-qa.html An 'FX' Q&A] ] and Osbourne took him up on it, even though this was his first comic book. [ [http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=140909 Wayne Osbourne on "FX" & Working With John Byrne] , Newsarama, December 27, 2007] The production was done using the Marvel Method where the story is plotted, the art is drawn and then the script finalised because, as Byrne says, "that eliminated about 90% of the mistakes newbie writers make."
