I always thought the A was so dumb. You have a guy with a pretty cool costume. It's red, white and blue and has a big star. He also has a red, whit and blue with another big star. Do we really need an A to signify that he's captain america? I think the A stands for Asshole.

See, that's why he gets fired so often. That and allegedly putting his name on other people's work.

by **burlivesleftnut** on Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:06 pm

I keep thinking back to his picture of Cappy and it makes me want to punch Liefield.

Give Joe and Jack a break, man. It was 1940. Cap's costume, including the "A" was genius compared to some of the patriotic types. I've been looking at it for 35 years and it never bothered me.

Well after bombing you with my logic, it sure as fuck better bother you now!

No, he just has Ripley's alien hybrid spawning violently out of his left nipple.

Ugh.

Someone should put Gaffmaster's face on that body.

Someone, indeed...

Just for you Burl, here's the masked varient double-poly-bagged edition. Keep it mint!

by **burlivesleftnut** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 7:57 am

And it's A-less. Thanks.

by **ONeillSG1** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 12:32 pm

I still can't believe how much that picture defies logic.

by **thomasgaffney** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 12:51 pm

Dude, WTF? Why does my chest stick out like that? I got massive man-boobs!

by **thomasgaffney** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 12:59 pm

I like the mask, but Benicio del Toro's hair still rules.

by **Tyrone_Shoelaces** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:09 pm

Even Penny Arcade crapped on Rob Liefeld a couple years ago.

by **burlivesleftnut** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:16 pm

Mean.

by **Adam Balm** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 3:31 pm

Odd, those I've talked to have the nicest things to say about Liefeld..

True, but think of how handy they could be.

Bored while juggling? Simply rest a book on your massive man-maries, and now you can entertain birthday parties and yourself at the same time!

Hungry, but too worn out from a long day of juggling to lift your arms? Have your boy-sidekick place a sandwich and a bowl of soup on your prodigious chesticles.

Also serves as a handy-dandy shelf for displaying Hummel figurines.

Bastard. I had to turn your hair to chrome to get that picture to work! Do you realize how much smelting that took? Smelting, man!

by **burlivesleftnut** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 4:35 pm

Chesticles... LOL.

Count me ignorant. What is this?

Adam Balm wrote:Odd, those I've talked to have the nicest things to say about Liefeld..

Perhaps he's grown a modicumof humility since he's watched three companies slide out from under him. Or maybe he's just a nice guy to have as a buddy but remains a dick as a comics professional.

He certainly hasn't learned to draw any better.

by **The Garbage Man** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 6:32 pm

Penny Arcade is a webcomic dedicated mostly to games but sometimes involving other geek activities. During cons they tend to just do sketch comics rather than full-color, polished versions. When they do signings/sketchings, their table tends to have a long line.

by **Adam Balm** on Mon Sep 05, 2005 7:21 pm

It would have been funny if they drew Liefeld in his own style.

God I wish my scanner was working. I would totally draw YOU in Liefield's style. Punk.

LIEFELD ON LIEFELD

"If I wanted to draw like the legion of photo-tracers/screen saver artists out there, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I can draw a portrait with the best of them, but if I want my comics realistic, I'll go see the film." - In an interview at Wizard World Chicago 2004.

I don't know why, but the phrase "Nigga stole my bike" immediately popped into my head when I read this.

That site is bizarr, hypnotic and hilarious.

Sorry, Garbage Man! No offense intended. That is the most ripped I'll ever be in my life.....

by **burlivesleftnut** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 11:20 am

I came across this at Cinescape.com. Talk about awful character design!

by **thomasgaffney** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 11:30 am

That's laugh-out-loud horrendous!

by **burlivesleftnut** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 11:32 am

No shit! What's funny is that someone thought it was a good idea!

by **bluebottle** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 11:56 am

OMG... What's with the green smoke that looks like hair and the bulging eye?!

that MAKES NO SENSE!

by **burlivesleftnut** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:05 pm

And what about his weird weapon?

by **DinoDeLaurentiis** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:30 pm

Is it a just a the Dino, or does anyone else think of a the Hobgoblin?

by **burlivesleftnut** on Tue Oct 11, 2005 4:04 pm

I got that vibe from the costume sans head pumpkin glowy green weirdness.

Yup. I was gonna say it if you didn't, you putz.

by **JackKnight** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 1:46 pm

Totally the hobgoblin, except for the creepy head and the marty feldman eyes.

by **bc1970** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:01 pm

Slade Wilson's punk-ass son Jericho. I DID quit reading Titans after that.
Spoiler Robin
DK2
Batman VS Alien2, with Arkham Army Aliens

by **Shane** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:04 pm

For spidey it was the venom thing when they went back to red and blue from black.

In D.C. it was zero hour, I quit D.C. for years.

and now it's House of M and this retro new Crisis thing.
|It's made my book count drop drasticly.

by **The Ginger Man** on Wed Dec 14, 2005 2:54 pm

You know what I'm tired of? Marvel's (basically) yearly X-Men relaunch. Why must each new creative team bring "A BOLD NEW TWIST!!!!" What's wrong with picking a direction and letting a few different people run with it for awhile? Whedon's stuff was pretty good and it wasn't tied to a franchise-shaking whatnot. Is he still on the book or has he been shuffled loose the coil for this House of M/Decimation schtick?

Oh, and stop letting Chris Claremont write X-Men comics. He reminds me of Grampa in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They love him and he was a pretty good psycho/cannibal in his day. So they give him a hammer, let him try to kill the girl. But they know it's pointless. He's basically catatonic and all he's good for anymore is shitting himself.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description, I'd say.

Dark Knight Strikes Back, the one time I was actually pissed after buying a comic.

by **Chairman Kaga** on Sat Dec 17, 2005 2:07 am

Anyone have that link showing Liefeld ripping off other artists layouts. I mean just directly tracing?

by **Shane** on Sat Dec 17, 2005 2:10 am

I try not to talk shit on artists so let me put this as nicely as possible.

Rob has not evolved or improved one iota since his first issue of New Mutants.

Art is a field you must constantly improve and learn in.

by **buster00** on Sat Dec 17, 2005 9:17 pm

I was pissed after DK2...

Yet I STILL had enough faith in Frank Miller to pick up the first two issues of All Star Batman.

To paraphrase: What am I, DENSE or something? Am I ALF?

I'm the type of guy who calls ex-girlfriends after getting shit on. Oooogh.

You've heard of Acid Jazz...

I'll say the phrase "Acid Scat"...

And leave you to ponder the kind of women I end up with...

by **buster00** on Sat Dec 17, 2005 11:21 pm

So, back on topic...and tying it in with utter scat...

I quit picking up Superman/Batman when the "evil Legion" or whatever came back from the future and started mucking things up...

Just so I'm clear, is that supposed to be a kids' book now? Cuz it sure as hell reads like one.
