  1. such an awesome thread.I always remember going to the supermarket as a kid and getting comics off a spinner rack!wonder how much they go for now i'd love to have one.awesome dell racks too.but I do have a question:Do Spinner Racks bend or lower the grade of a comic over time being displayed in one?

  2. Underrated: Sunspot, Pete Wisdom, Agent Venom, Scarlet Spider, Wally West, Kyle Rayner, Spider-Man 2099, Richard Rider, Hank Pym, Gambit (for now...)

     

    Overrated (I like all of these, but I like them in small doses or co-starring roles): Iron Man, Harley Quinn, Rocket/Groot, Medusa, Wolverine

     

    yes groot is seriously overrated right now how can he hold his own series?smh

  3. Brent is great!I just recently bought a load of great books from him and with Speedy shipping excellent safe protective Packaging and great books in said grade if not not better! !!thanks so much for the great books and i hope we can do business again soon!! :cloud9: (thumbs u

    regards,

  5. When will this madness of Liefeld end?? (shrug)

     

    I wonder if you started this thread because you knew what the outcome was going to be. hm

    :shy: hehe hmm I wonder lol?in all reality I didn't think this would happen at all and imo this argument about liefeld is giving me a headache just to read now lol!and to make one thing I liked Liefelds work at one point and even tryed to mimic his art when I was a kid in some ways i think my art was forever effected by this,the anatomy was off lol!should have went to Joe Kuberts art school lol!sheesh!also Mcfarlane was and still is awesome IMO (thumbs u
  6. You do make a point here with McCay, and even Mobius to an extent - but they are masters at using the same line quality but within different spacing to suggest depth and distance. I would not consider Liefeld's work to be in the same school of inking, and while he does get some sweeping lines in his work, his short strokes is what makes his style 'his'.

     

    His work is "chicken scratchy" like McFarlane's work - much of the fluidity that you talk about with inking is lost in that style, because you cut short the motion to make long, flowing lines. I won't place the entire blame of this style on Liefeld, but it's very prevalent in 90's artists. It was part of that hyper-detailed style that took off during that era. The only person who I think mastered this technique that comes to mind is Art Adams.

     

    :applause:

    Art Adams has done some amazing work.

     

    But I don't hear many people whining about his long legs and questionable anatomy:)

    And he sure does a lot of clenched fists, eh?

     

    You should start a thread about Art Adams then. This one is about Rob Liefeld.

     

    :)

     

     

     

    -slym

    I would view the hell out of a Art Adams thread! ;)
  7. hm I am starting to think that perhaps Rabid Ferret IS Rob Liefeld!
    I'm thinking he's sitting on a load of Liefeld OA hm

     

    I've posted 2 different pages I own, so yeah, I quite enjoy his OA.

     

    If anyone's selling I'm certainly buying:)

     

    Based on this thread, it sounds like anyone stuck with any would love to unload it. Just send me a PM:)

    I called it!Its Leifeld man! :o RF is Liefeld!! :cry:
  8.  

    Immediately my mind went to: Here we have this silly American Comic Book industry, dominated by Superheroes for the last 60 years, regurgitating the same old stories, having to turn to someone like Liefeld, who can't draw,

    because he's one of the few people enthusiastically interested in telling these same old stories that his aging fan base may pick up out of some perverted nostalgia.

     

    Sad.

     

    Just because Jim Lee can draw a comic and make it sell based upon his name alone, doesn't mean he can run a Comic Book Company. Todd McFarlane's Image (and let's face it, he's the only one who really stuck it out) only succeeded because of toys and then a new regime that brought in the Walking Dead and a better way to do comics.

     

    Is it any wonder the stagnation of this hobby?

     

     

     

    and I'll never look at comics the same way again.. :sorry:
