Thelogan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Like a lot of Liefeld stuff, at my first casual glance I see no issues here. I mean yeah, okay, it's stupid, but so are a lot of things. Then I notice the swords. Or, more specifically, how they are held. It's like he drew the picture, said "OHSHIT, fergot the swords!" and added 'em in (honestly it's probably more likely that it's a swipe, possibly from himself). The one in the foreground seems to be gripped tightly at the top of the hilt between the pad of her thumb and her middle knuckles. The one in the background is clearly just going through her index finger. WAT? This guy has been drawing comics professionally since he was like 8 years old and he still does this shit? The world needs to stop reenforcing this negative behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You wanna punish him? Don't buy his shit. Tell your friends not to buy his shit. And don't talk about him. Keep this up, and maybe he'll just disappear someday. One can hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Rob Liefield to write/"draw" 3 DC new 52 titles! Rob Liefeld will have more of a presence in DC's "The New 52" than ever, joining the creative team of three ongoing series in May. Liefeld will be plotting both The Savage Hawkman and Grifter, as well as writing and illustrating Deathstroke, replacing previous series writer Kyle Higgins and artist Joe Bennett. How this affects the existing Hawkman writing team of Tony Daniel & James Bonny and Grifter writer Nathan Edmondson is currently unclear. Liefeld joins all three series as of their ninth issues. The news comes just one day after the announcement that Hawk and Dove, The New 52 title that Liefeld had been illustrating and (as of issue #6) writing, was ending with April's issue #8. "Rob’s always been seen as edgy, both within the comic book industry and by his fans," DC executive editor Eddie Berganza said in the publisher's press release. "That’s a great vibe to bring to these particular books. We really want to push boundaries, and Rob’s the guy to do it.” On The Source, Liefeld spoke of his upcoming plans for the series, revealing that Deathstroke will be taking on Lobo and that Hawkman will learn more about the Nth metal, plus teasing an appearance from fellow former Wildstorm character Deathblow in Grifter. Keep reading Newsarama for more on the latest developments in DC's The New 52. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Cancelled: Book I don't read. Getting immeasurably shittier: 3 books I don't read, and definitely won't be starting. Deathstroke looks like a bloated tub of shit in that picture. Let's analyze this fine detailed portrait of Batman while we're here. Dubious feet? Check. Mongoloid face with the same goofy, half-assed mouth? Check. Torso most important focal point of picture and out of proportion? Check. Okay. We've established that it's a Liefeld. There's something wrong with the perspective here. Look at the hands. The one on the left (his right) appears fine, but the one on the right looks...off. There should be some forced perspective, because of the way the torso is swiveled slightly, but the arms are too short to pull it off. Speaking of torso swiveling, what the fuck kind of position is this anyway? Physics says that human beings cannot simply sit like this. It isn't a matter of having strong toe muscles (which Batman certainly has. Mighty toes), it's that he would need some sort of claws gripping the surface. Basically, it's just a pile of puke. And WTF is up with that logo? Oh god, did he artswipe a Northstar pic? That explains a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Well there goes any chance I had of reading Deathstroke. The guy knows he's reviled, can he at least work really super hard on his promotional images to at least make THEM look like they weren't drawn during 5th period English class?

Thelogan Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Meh. I only see 2 pouches in that Deathstroke drawing. Liefeld's has 6. Also, what the fuck are those weird things hanging from the bottom of his calves? Shouldn't there be a rock outcropping or a page border there or something?

Thelogan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Avengers Avenged I first walked into the main floor at WizardWorld with joy and wonder. Then Mike stopped us. “Dude,” he snapped. “Liefeld‘s here.” We all sprung into crisis mode. “What do you mean?” said a surprised August. Liefeld was not on the list of guests, but about three booths to the right of the door was “Liefeld” in that sketchy, completely linear Rob Liefeld font. “Oh shit!” said August. He still has a soul, so he worries about other people and their feelings. I, on the other hand, have nothing but my dreams, and apparent they came true. I knew what to do. We were joking about this on the car ride over, what to say if Liefeld were to magically show up. I knew what to do. I walked up to him and spake: “Hi, my name is Ryan Coons…” “Hey!” said Rob Liefeld. He didn’t even look up at me; he just kept sketching away at yet another blocky, disproportionate, and overly-linear picture of one of my beloved childhood heroes. This time, it was Wolverine, in a mirrored swipe of Jim Lee’s cover for X-Men #11. “…I am a huge Captain America fan…” I tell him with jazz hands and a huge fanboy gleam. “…and as such, I demand an apology for Heroes Reborn.” Rob stops. He gives me an action hero sneer and said, “Hey, it was nice to meet you,” and followed it up with a fuck-off get lost nod. You know, the upward one. I walk off and hyperventalate for a while, because I can only process a set amount of awesome at one time. That’s why it took me four hours to watch 300 the first time. Rummaging through the boxes when I came across a copy of Lee & Buscema’s seminal text How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. We were in awe. “Coons! You need to buy that!” shouted Mike. I was thinking about it, because I’ve wanted a copy of that for some time now. “You need to give it to him!” “You’re right! Rob needs it more than anyone!” I said. “That’s why we’re here Coons,” said Mike. “The planets have aligned.” “What’s this?” asked Javier, the dude who was working the booth we were at. “We’re going to by a copy of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, then he’s going to give it to Rob Liefeld,” said Mike. Javier was awestruck. “How much is this?” I ask. “All trades are five dollars, but if you’re giving that to Rob Liefeld, then I…I…well, I can chip in,” said Javier, digging through his wallet. “Here’s two bucks.” I give the man three. “I’ll be back,” I tell Javier. I waited for a bit, I wanted him to forget about me, I wanted him to think he was in the clear and have him let his guard down. Also, I fully expected to get thrown out for these shenanigans, and I wanted Mark Millar to sign my copy of Superman: Red Son, and that wouldn’t be for another few hours. In the mean time, I took the time to personalize his gift. On the blank front page, I wrote: Rob, I know you aren’t willing to apologize right now. This manual will help you in you future endeavors. Please study it carefully, and consult it before rebooting another comic title. If you still wish to apologize for “Heroes Reborn,” you can do so by emailing me at YellowHatGuy@gmail.com. Let’s make things right. Sincerely, Ryan Coons Then, I slipped my business card in between the pages, to make sure that Liefeld knew my name, website, email address, and cell phone number. Then I put his gift in a nice bag… …and I was ready. “So, you’re going through with this?” “I have too. It needs to be done,” I said. “What are you going to say to him?” asked August. “I’m not going to say anything,” I told him. “I’m just going to set it in front of him, and then walk away.” “…and then what?” asked August. “I don’t care,” I sad. “I don’t care what happens. You can watch if you like.” I started sweating pretty bad, and started to hyperventilate. “You okay Coons? You gonna make it?” said August. Immediately, I regain my composure. “No, I have to do this. I’ve waited thirteen years for this,” I tell August. So I walked over to Rob Liefeld, who was busy ignoring everyone in the entire convention center. I set the package in front of him, and patted it a few times, and the walked away. According to Mike, the following ensued: “Rob didn’t look up, but the bald guy did, and pulled it out and showed it Liefeld. He shook his head and got all pissed off. Then the bald dude opened it up and red the inscription, and busted out laughing, and laughed for like, five minutes straight, and Liefeld’s face just tightened up and he just got more and more pissed off.” I’m not a bad guy. All I want is an apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 i hope you're happy, logans. Rob Liefield retires from Super Hero Comics Rob Liefeld abandons superheroes in 2013Published Wednesday, Jul 25 2012, 09:48 BST | By Hugh Armitage |4 comments Rob Liefeld has revealed that he will end his run on superhero comics in 2013. Grant Morrison made a similar announcement earlier in the week. Veteran Image Comics founder Liefeld tweeted that he "will be close behind". "As for DC work, I've done my job, stopped the bleeding, revived the patient... enjoying my collaborations..." he continued. "Lots of creator owned dreams yet to realise..." The writer and artist will conclude his work on DC Comics' Deathstroke, Hawkman and Grifter next year, adding that that was "a ways off". Morrison has revealed that he will end his current work for DC with Action Comics #16 and Batman Incorporated #12. A string of top creators have recently announced their intention to end their work-for-hire superhero projects to focus on creator-owned comics. "The current corporate comics conditions are an absolute bear, on both sides, for both Big Two," tweeted Liefeld. "Not a political statement #fact." "Gotta say, for me personally, working at DC this past year has been ridiculously enjoyable and fun," he added. "Treats talent right." here's to you, Rob. wait shit that was loeb's fault, hold on and many more classics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I guess we won't have Rob Liefeld to kick around anymore. So he's "retiring from superhero comics" in order to pursue his own stuff?

Thelogan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Why did I even look into this? "I was reading my bible this time last year and that passage [in Matthew 27] leaped out at me as it never had before," Liefeld told CBR News of the origins of "Zombie Jesus." "I called my pastor friends and asked them if they were aware that following Christ's death, the dead rise and walk among the people in Jerusalem. The response I got every time was, 'Yeah, that's a creepy passage, one of those mysterious texts in the bible.' I'm a huge fan of bible history and I've always been bummed out that there weren't the 'further adventures of' Samson, Joshua, David, etc., so when I saw this clearly ambiguous passage, I was like, yeah, I can fill this in, no problem. My imagination immediately took me in a very specific direction and this 'untold tale' was born." "I believe in God. I believe he loves all of us, I believe he gave me talents and inspired me to use them, and that goes for this story as well. That's how I've believed my whole life and this is no different," he said. "If I'm blaspheming [in creating 'Zombie Jesus'], then I'm blaspheming when I see 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and the 'Omen' films or 'Constantine' or 'The Seventh Sign.' As a matter of fact, the 'Ten Commandments' film would be blasphemous too, as it takes huge liberties with the book of Exodus. But I reject that line of thinking and being judgmental and so uptight that we can't have fun with a passage as crazy as this one is. I tell stories not to harm, but to entertain, and based on all of the positive responses I've received on this out of the gate, I think people get it."
