My favorite NEW UNIVERSE book was Star Brand. At least until John Byrne took over.
The first six issues were great, with Jim Shooter scripts and John Romita Jr. art. Then Shooter left Marvel and Roy Thomas scripted off a Shooter plot. I loved the title until Byrne took over. He was at the top of his game in the 80s, but Byrne couldn't stand Shooter by then and seemingly intentionally destroyed Star Brand to somehow get at Big Jim. There was even a John Byrne interview published in later NEW UNIVERSE issues where he was asked his dislikes and he said something like ''6'7'' (or however tall Shooter was) editors.
That said, Byrne was instrumental in the PITT crossover, and I think the PITT was incredible!
