His art is not his greatest problem. His complete lack of creative talent is. The most generic "creator" in comics.
Poor lad doesn't have an ounce of creativity in his body. I know, I know ... everyone's a critic. But everything he does undermines the medium, not to mention comic fan's basic intelligence.
This is a throwback. Feels like a money grab. But one could argue that Rob Liefield's character designs fueled the industry for an entire decade, and spawned copy-cats (from HIS copy-cats) for years. The industry made a lot of money off of this guy and, yes, his designs and layouts feel stale. But since nobody else is drawing like this now, it comes off as unique.
Rob Liefeld must quit the comics world, he has no talent
what do you mean! he's the creator of deadpool...!
He's like a father who abandons his kid, the kig becomes rich and famous and the dad shows up 25 years later taking credit for it lol.
He milks that creation and fans suck on his butt, but the personality and even appearance of deadpool has changed since rob has touched him.
he conceived him and someone else raised him
I once read a quote that went something like "Show me an interesting Rob Liefeld character, and I'll show you the other creators who made them interesting"
I've got nothing against the guy, and I kinda have a soft spot for his art style, but there's no denying his creations are better off in other people's hands.
I'm gonna have to agree as well.... growing up reading comics in the 90s Liefeld was one of the biggest names along with mcfarlane,and jim lee. so when i just saw that cover it did remind of of the 90s with all the image books and of course with the new mutants and so fourth. i can't say i'm jumping on this title if i see it at my LCS, but if my pulls for the week are only a few then i might buy it.
i suppose what i said was harsh so i take it back but come on....that's clearly a redesign of other characters People get mad fun of for "fan made" character redesigns but this is okay?
You sound semi intelligent. you never heard of a Homage cover swipe??? they've been doing those for how many years? not just liefield but about i don't even know the amount of artists and companies that have ok'd them.
Let the guy do his thing.... he was big at one point which was the 90s and then people including other artists starting ridiculing him due to the fact all his art with characters were top heavy, small legs, and too many pouches across the character. it was a thing of the 90s. we want to talk about comic book art that sucks? what about the artist that does squirrel girl? i nearly vomited when i saw the preview here on CV. how about the artist that does Silk? another comic that made me stop buying and i even bought her issue #1 after that never droped a dime on that series again due to horrible art.

I've heard of homages yes, but when your character already looks like characters that exists, your homages start to look like straight up copying.
Let him do his thing? I was unaware I was stopping him. I am on a comic site, the topic came up and i replied to someone else. I don't normally quote people who say they enjoy something, and try to talk them out of it, but the person I originally responded to already thought that way, so it's not like I am offending him or his opinion....actually re reading the comments here most people seem to dislike it, and it seems kind of redundant to make a topic about it I am sure one exists out there.

you aren't stopping him... but your the one who's bad mouthing the poor guy on here. technically speaking every comic character is somehow a rip-off of another. you also did quote me and a few others about how can we like his stuff and how can we? everyone has their own opinion on things take it easy bro.....

He's not a poor guy, he probably doesn't notice, or would even care what a bunch of nerds on here are talking about. his fan base is huge, but you are right. I am sorry Rob if you see this, I will keep my opinions to myself or in designated threads.

everyone is entitled to make an opinion this a free public forum now, but at the same time don't start quoting and quarreling with others and not expect a response back.... i never said the guy was one of greatest artists around, but he did have a following at one point and he was one of the guys on top back in the 90s. also whether you or anybody else likes it or not Liefeld DID CREATE DEADPOOL. he get's credit for that.

The only people I quoted were like minded. I made sure not to tell anyone who was praising him that they were wrong. I fully expect people to jump into the discussion though. I can't speak for everyone else though but it looks like they did the same...said their piece and kept it in the same circle.
I re read all the comments and I can barely find one that wasn't an insult. So IDK what the tell you, I wasn't quoting and quarreling with anyone. only thing I can do is back off with the rude jabs and say sorry, which I did.
@w0nd:Wow...just...WOW!!! I don't know how to respond to blatantly ripping off your own work to that extent. He has to have just light box traced the Cable/Deadpool cover for that image.
