MAKING YOUR X

 

There are other significant changes coming to the X-stable that apparently I can talk about. Chris Claremont and Alan Davis are believed to be working together on an ongoing X-Men title, probably "Uncanny X-Men." I understand Davis has been paid a significant over-the-odds amount to return to this title, a page rate of over 500 dollars a page - and that's before royalties or art sales come into it. Neither Claremont or Davis returned e-mails.

 

I also hear that Rob Liefeld is to take full creative reins on a new "X-Force" title, as Marvel outsource the entire creative and editorial responsibilities on the book to him. Liefeld will also be responsible for producing a range of one-shots and mini-series associated with the project. Expect the return of a number of his New Mutants and X-Force characters. Liefeld declined to comment.

I've read enough!

Could Liefield possibly be the most overrated person in comics…ever?

 

I had the chance to meet him once when Image was doing one of their tour things. I thought he was a pompous [!@#%^&^]. On the other spectrum was Erick Larsen. He was very pleasant.

I think Liefield being an artist in comics is equally balanced with the historic moment when "Mr. Dylan, you sure can sing." was quoted.

They must have the same agent.

 

And yes. Eric Larsen is a fantastic person to talk to.

I have a comic he signed when I met him and will cherish it forever.

[HighVoltage]

Who woulda thunk, lo those many years ago, that of ALL the Image creators, that Erik freaking Larson would be the guy to put out a title on the most consistent basis - that also seems to have the most consistent quality?! Wow.

[Freiherr]

Unless you count McFarlane and Spawn, but Larsen actually did his own books.

 

I read somewhere that Larsen has never been late on a single issue of Savage Dragon. I am not a fan of the title, but considering all the other titles he contribute to he has got to be one of the busiest guys in comics.

 

I think Liefield should go back to doing blue jean commercials (anyone remember those?).

That is good news indeed. Oh how I have missed the identical facial expression on every character. I can hardly wait for all his great new characters creations. What characters are left for him to plagiarize?

 

Liefeld=overrated POS

So if Liefeld is back at Marvel, does this mean that Captain America will finally get his breasts back....

Dare to Dream!

[Freiherr]

Good thing he didn’t do Ultimates.

 

 

 

 

 

Captain America – “What do you think this “A” …err?…well [!@#%^&^]!”

I think this is the picture you're refering to.

When did Cap get a chest implant

I'd love for this thread to turn into a gallery of "worst modern comic art." I had dropped out during the Liefeld years, and never really knew all the stink about him.

 

[DiceX]

Does anyone remember which book it was that Ravishing Rob drew like two left (or right) hands on a guy?

It was on a cover if I remember correctly.

And it was one of his more popular books.

 

I can't remember which it was.

[Freiherr]

From my understanding, here is the deal with Rob.

 

He was one of the hot new artists following Todd McFarlane. It didn’t have to be good, it was different and compared to how little character appearance had changed since the start of comics. X-Force and Cable were a hit at the time and Liefield was considered a hot commodity.

 

Then he helped for Image. People quickly learned he was a one-trick pony that had zero originality when it came to characters and art.

 

 

Worst Modern Comic Artist?

 

I have seen worse than Rob, but I could not give their names.

 

My favorite artist is an acquired taste, Sam Kieth. I have seen him get slammed a bit and though understand critics opinions, I don’t think they understand his art.

Sam is one of my top 5 favorites of all time.

You're right. Not many people get it, and they give you a googlie eye when you say something about it.

His run on Marvel Comics Presents was incredible.

 

Have you seen the Wolverine mini bust that's designed after Kieth?

ROFL

Yep. That's it!
