Oh my God, it's full of pouches: What If Rob Liefeld owned and wrote all of the DC Universe?

I suppose if I'd been thirteen, not twenty-three (or older) when all this happened, I'd have been influenced in a big way by 90s comics. The tribute looks far more interesting than the comics that ostensibly spawned them.

to answer the thread question: Superman would have a utility belt. Also Aquaman. And Krypto.

Superman would also have a facial scar and one glowing eye.

Batman would have a two-toned facemask and no cape, just flying squirrel wings like Baron Blood. And a sword with a bat-winged hilt. And one robotic leg.

Flash would have a series of pouches to hold the speed force in and, best of all, never have visible feet.

Green Arrow would have an eyepatch and a cybernetic arm, and his bow would only file swords. Which he stored in a giant pouch on his back.

file = fire

I like the idea that he uses the bow as a grindstone but never as a bow. Run with the typo!

Series have gone 50 issues with worse premises.

Some of them had Liefeld content as well.

Batman has a bigger chest measurement and a smaller waist than Wonder Woman.

Flash would ... never have visible feet.

Deathstroke would look the same.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 22:59 (twelve years ago) link

... as everyone else.

As much as I dislike his art and what he's brought to cmics, he seems to have a pretty good sense of humour about himself--I imagine he'd probably enjoy Rub the Blood in his own goofy way

The funny thing is that Mr. Kirkman had zero involvement in the books that got those creators in the first place. I mean, that's the REALLY funny thing. As in hilarious.

...what?

Θ ̨Θƪ (sic), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 00:34 (twelve years ago) link

My assumption was the RUB THE BLOOD crew were all teenagers in the 90s, reading those Image books and getting fired up. Pretty sure that Kirkman didn't release a book until 2000, so his being upset at RUB THE BLOOD is, ergo, hilarious.

Matt M., Wednesday, 29 February 2012 00:39 (twelve years ago) link

well tbf we only have "a bird" to go on, and no indication of what he might not like about it if he even doesn't, let's not ignite the sneerbomb too hastily
