For those of you unaware, Rob Liefeld was a big time comic artist and writer from time to time back in the 90s.  He had a gritty artstyle that lots of artists tend to copy back then and he was one of the founders of Image I believe.  However nowadays, he isn't as popular as he used to be and he is easily one of the most hated artists today.  Why?  Just give a gander at this art!

And for actually looking at all of that crap, please go here to recover:

So, what did you think of the art?

Fist off, the whole typing was rushed- BLATANT ERRORS!
Second, #20- How the hell can someone screw that up? SERIOUSLY, #40, I can see Rob Liefeld and Frank Miller working together on that, but 20? FAIL!

Site's down at the moment.

Liefeld is pretty awful, but he did exemplify a style that was endemic to the '90s.



The sad thing is that he's clearly got the chops to be good, he just takes so many shortcuts and he exaggerates all the wrong things to "look cool." The finished product just looks wrong.

I wouldn't say he is "hated," just mocked mercilessly. Another founder of Image, Todd McFarlane, that guy's hated.

I don't know.  I'm pretty sure Liefeld is pretty much hated by most, especially those within the industry. 

Myself, I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I started reading comics around that time so I am fairly familiar with his work.

I remember how huge a deal Image was when it first came out and everyone thought we should snatch up all those # 1 issues....hmm, I bet they're mostly worthless nowadays and honestly the comics paled next to Marvel and DC in terms of story. I think Liefield did a title called Bloodstrike which seemed a rip off of X-Force for which he used to do the art...

From what I've heard, that Captain America picture was never actually supposed to be published.  Apparently it was something he just quickly threw together, and it ended up getting printed and put on covers because his work was so hot at the time.  People couldn't get enough of the guy. 

And he jokes about it too. 

I've heard a story where at some comic convention they were talking about the upcoming direction of the Captain America comics, and they asked "What's the worst thing you could imagine happening to Captain America?"  From the back of the room, somebody shouted "YOU could hire some talentless hack to draw him with big boobs!"  and when people looked to see who had said that, it was Liefeld himself standing there smiling.

Not really.  He's just mocked alot online.  Apparently he's a really nice enthusiastic guy in real-life.  He still sells fairly well. 

Now he's burned a few bridges, but pretty much everybody in the comic industry has somewhere.

That was my thought. Liefeld is a hack, but he doesn't seem like an a***ole. But I don't keep up on insider talk.

Like I said, the guy could draw well if he wasn't so lazy. But nobody is going to forgive Liefeld's laziness. He's got no cachet. In the meantime, other artists such as Frank Miller are still well-supported despite a significant drop off in quality. The Dark Knight Strikes Again was embarrassingly bad. Not just the bad writing, but the art as well. Miller seems to have forgotten everything he used to know after he released (the admittedly very good-looking two-tone art of) Sin City.

He seems enthusiastic about stuff, which is commendable.  I was a big fan of X-Force and Youngblood.  But there are people out there who vastly dislike him.  Why, I don't know.  Guess when he started Image and whatnot, people didn't like it, those in charge at Marvel and whatnot.

I'm not really seeing what's supposed to be bad with those, unless you just don't like his character designs.

I liked his work on The New Mutants and X-Force personally. His style seems to fit well with those characters...
