At least that's what I took from it and I think it's pretty hilarious: All the heroes that are shown possessed by the Rot were previously being handled by Rob Liefeld before he threw his temper tantrum and quit DC. Hawkman, Hawk, Dove, Deathstroke & Grifter....and they all get ripped to shreds lol

Am I crazy or is Jeff Lemire showing Liefeld how he really feels?

It's for insulting Scott Snyder.

Rot Liefeld?

Liefeld didn't touch the Teen Titans. I think it's more likely this was just an attempt to cross-promote books with sagging sales.

Swamp Thing fought the Teen Titans in Swamp Thing #14.

The difference is that Teen Titans is just one singular group; Hawkman, Hawk and Dove, Deathstroke, and Grifter are four different solo/duo characters.

Weren't they part of the Rot forces? Or am I mixing up Animal Man with Swamp Thing? Their stories are pretty parallel right now.

Ah, there we go. I remember now being surprised that Swamp Thing knew who Superboy was.

I'm sorry....what did he do?

Rob does know that because of him,dc's iconic characters like deathstroke,hawkman,etc. nearly died.

And scott is basically this generation's frank miller (even better,imo)

Rob "Lie"feld should just stop drawing comics. If JimLee or Dale Keown are the SuperMen of artists (insert your favorite artist)........ then Rob "Lie"feld is the definition of Bizarro Superman. I can honestly say I don't hate any ComicBook characters, writers or artists with the exception of this skid stained underwear'n of an artist that is Rob "Lie"feld. It just feels like he works stricktly by the hour, hates his job, and doesn't pour the love of the medium into his work. I would apologize to any Rob "Lie"feld lovers but I do not think there is any except (obviously except the 1....which is himself). Please forgive me because this guy just ruins comic books in general and I have no clue how he keeps getting work. There is more passion in this rant then in a Rob "Lie"feld background image (Hint: he doesn't draw backgrounds but you probably already knew that).

Animal Man

This is the New 52 version of Animal Man Written by Jeff Lemire and Drawn by Steve Pugh. Stories so far have been based about the red vs the rot.
