The High Ways

In 2012, John Byrne brought his signature storytelling and artwork to IDW for The High Ways, a four-issue miniseries that blends science fiction with a classic espionage thriller. The story follows a crew of astronauts on a routine mission who uncover a dangerous conspiracy hidden within their own space program. Byrne's dual role as writer and artist gives the series a cohesive, retro-futuristic feel that fans of his celebrated runs on Fantastic Four and X-Men will recognize. A tight, self-contained adventure, The High Ways showcases Byrne’s enduring talent for character-driven cosmic intrigue.
