The NZA Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Rob Liefield walks off three DC titles to "preserve sanity" Rob Liefeld, who teased last month on the heels of Grant Morrison that he too would be leaving DC Comics soon, announced his abrupt departure this morning with a flurry of tweets criticizing his editors and the handling of the New 52. Although he’s listed in the solicitations for Deathstroke, Grifter and The Savage Hawkman through November, the writer/artist states that next month’s zero issues will be his last. “Officially got off the DC52 treadmill this morning,” he wrote, adding, “I believe in what DC is doing, but had to preserve my sanity. I walked off all 3 books. Can’t wait to see any attempts to spin. I have every email.” Liefeld was among the original creators when DC launched the New 52 a year ago, penciling and later also writing Hawk & Dove before moving in May to Deathstroke (writing and penciling), The Savage Hawkman and Grifter (plotting both). “This is the 4th time I quit in the last 4 months. This time it will stick,” he wrote from a theater, where he was watching The Expendables 2. “Never thought the Image section of my book would be topped. This last year was a humdinger. The DC52 chapters will go top all of it. [...] Reasons are the same as everyone’s that you hear. I lasted a few months longer than I thought possible. Massive indecision, last minute and I mean LAST minute changes that alter everything. Editor pissing contests… No thxnjs. Last week my editor said ‘early on we had a lot of indie talent that weren’t used to re-writes and changes … made it hard.’ Uh, no, it’s you.” Liefeld is only the latest creator to exit DC’s New 52 titles amid complaints of a relaunch plagued behind the scenes by disorganization and indecision. Notably, George Perez expressed his frustration over the repeated rewrites and lack of creative freedom that he contends led to his run on Superman being cut short. “Don’t look for any tell all interview with me,” Liefeld added. “Just follow this feed. … the best stuff has not been shared — not even close!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Liefeld was on Hawkman? Ugh. I've been DL'n it for the past year b/c a guy at the local shop said it was a solid book, but I haven't looked at an issue yet. Nice to know I can just DL that folder now.

If you can make him shitting on a famous comic-book character I think you just might have your best-selling t-shirt ever.

Mrdukey Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm sure there was a time where being outed as a plagiarist in any field of artistic endeavour was enough to end your career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrdukey Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Will he be back? Is the industry so cynical that his sins will be forgiven? I actually don't know that I've read a comic with his artwork but what I read here disturbs me. Plagiarism is a massive issue with me ever since high school when my friends would get higher marks in English than me by recycling U2 and Metallica lyrics in their creative writing essays.

Mrdukey Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Met.....allica? Damn i'd be pissed too. Well Metallica lyrics have been described by some as a 9th graders poetry so it's kind of apt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In Liefeld's dream does it make him real. Right under our eyes, he thinks he can steal. He's our pain. Shitty we feel. Sad but true :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrizzle Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 He'd doing screenplays now. And he's doing them with Liefeldian efficiency, managing to complete it from beginning to final draft in 72 hours. It's about the heroic rise of Image comics and a young upstart prophet by the name of McFarlane. Who says "bud" a lot. Here are some excerpts. That Eazy-E story made me really uncomfortable. I need a douche chills smiley or something. OH! And casting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This is pretty awesome. I remember once, Ice Cube came into blockbuster and was like "You sell good movies nigga" and then pulled out his glock and laid it on the counter. Then a wad of hundred dollar bills. It was surreal, very gangster and I think I came a little. "I want to sell movies with you brotha, thats natural. Movies and music, wanna smoke some herb?" "I don't know if that is such a good idea, bud." Todd lived in the back room. V.O.- He had fallen on hard times and we couldn't let the man stay on the streets alone. who's gonna help me finish this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I smell a Hondo's dramatic reading or perhaps even, if Hondonians ambitions are high enough, the first ever Hondo's Playhouse Presents... youtube video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Like you had to ask MCFARLANE Fuck shit bud, let's put on our trenchcoats and smoke that bud, bud ICED CUBE I like how you draw brothas with big fat lips and white bitches with big asses. I want you inside me nigga. (he pulls out a machete and throws a gang sign) V.O. I knew at that moment that my life would never be the same They put on trenchcoats and sunglasses and walk out of the door in slow motion TOM DEFALCO There goes the most talented man that's ever lived. If only he would have taken us up on our offer of all the things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
