in retrospect, how did Rob Liefeld ever manage to hold down a artist job in the comics industry?

wow

Fuuuuuuuuuck me.
(pause)

i will pay money to see this

It's Shane Carruth's post-upstream color project.

BEING ROB LIEFELD. SEE IT NEXT SUMMER.

Easy-E (sic)

this prophet thing w/ brandon graham sounds kinda rad, is it any good?

the new book? yeah, it's great!

You draw good brothers brutha.

for some reason i want to see rob liefeld and guy fieri in the same photo now.

It's Easy-E, Rob's favorite rapper, whose name he does not know

He is INTENSE at all times

Todd McFarlane is a repo man?

"And that's from the man that gave Cap boobs."

You know another way to beat the haters, Rob? Learn how to competently do the things that you've been paid a lot of money to do.

Anyway. He seems like an alright guy for someone who's spent his entire career generating wretched content.

He's already beat the haters, lounging on his piles of money. I'm still amazed what he got out of X-Force, Cable, Deadpool, etc.
But yeah, surprisingly level-headed opinions from the dude in the Levis commercial

"You are going to get poked."

Jesus Christ: New Mutants #98 is now worth a pretty penny

wasn't it worth around that much during Liefeld's heyday?

I presume New Mutants #98 is that pricey because it was the first appearance of Deadpool? I doubt people wanted it that much before Deadpool became the Wolverine of the new millennium.

It's probably gone up, but there was a time when all of those early Liefeld NM issues were fetching high prices, like the early McFarlanes AMS issues

I don't understand people.

It's probably people expecting the comic to rocket in value after the deadpool movie comes out, like guardians of the galaxy made those issues scarce

i think i have a copy of that somewhere. never thought i'd have the chance to make some liefeld-related cash this far into the 21st century...

Those Liefeld New Mutants issues used to be 'hot' because they introduced Cable, who quickly got his own comic off the back of them.

Yeah, I remember cashing in bitd on New Mutants 87-90.

As a lad I bought what I later realized was a reprint of NM 87 for two bucks, hands shaking, thinking I was really getting away with something. #98 was always hot too IIRC... Deadpool wasn't as big a deal in the 90s as he was in the 2000s but he was inexplicably big. Versus the first appearance of Krule or G.W. Bridge or whoever.

oh, GW Bridge.

I clown on Liefeld, but I not only bought but bought/sold/rebought his NM/X-Force stuff, so I guess the clown's on me.

OMG, this guy is doing bible stories right now

really, really good idea

this is driving me nuts: i'm almost POSITIVE the serpent here is a swipe but i can't place it. Kubert's Bible too obvious?

Wally Wood? It's just real familiar.

Frazetta? Corben? Veitch?

my love affair with comics began with the heroes of the Old Testament. Samson, David, Joshua, these guys really turned my crank.

amazing

that looks like a screenshot from a video game

Yeah, there's a weird lack of depth in that pic, I can't quite figure out what's causing it. The shading and perspective seems to be done reasonably well, at least when you consider that this is Liefeld.

well, it's patrick blaine and mike capprotti over liefeld's pencil roughs - i think we can give them credit for anything positive about it

like, there's no way the chest on that guy, which appears to have fairly normal proportions, was originally sketched out like that

i kinda wish he'd gone full liefeld on these stories and had adam and eve grimacing and festooned with pouches

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves pouches.

Feet almost competent in the snake picture.

xp haha!

Eve has feet! Do you think God took them when he cast her out of Eden?

The art will be provided by a variety of illustrators working over my pencils, layouts and storytelling.

I'm guessing that since he's hiring people who can actually draw, including feet, his work is at stick-figure level now.

Frazetta? Corben? Veitch?
