Rob Liefeld abandons superheroes in 2013 Published Wednesday, Jul 25 2012, 09:48 BST | By Hugh Armitage |4 comments Submit Rob Liefeld has revealed that he will end his run on superhero comics in 2013. Grant Morrison made a similar announcement earlier in the week. Veteran Image Comics founder Liefeld tweeted that he "will be close behind". "As for DC work, I've done my job, stopped the bleeding, revived the patient... enjoying my collaborations..." he continued. "Lots of creator owned dreams yet to realise..." The writer and artist will conclude his work on DC Comics' Deathstroke, Hawkman and Grifter next year, adding that that was "a ways off". Morrison has revealed that he will end his current work for DC with Action Comics #16 and Batman Incorporated #12. A string of top creators have recently announced their intention to end their work-for-hire superhero projects to focus on creator-owned comics. "The current corporate comics conditions are an absolute bear, on both sides, for both Big Two," tweeted Liefeld. "Not a political statement #fact." "Gotta say, for me personally, working at DC this past year has been ridiculously enjoyable and fun," he added. "Treats talent right."

First Morrison and now this. Seriously what is going on at DC that they can't keep talent on board?

It's alright. I needed to bask in the glory, and so I knew it was a good day to do what has to be done by me!

This is now a Liefield appreciation thread:

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Liefield could be worse, and I like some of his stuff. But he's got some issues with his art, and with DC apparently.

[ViewtifulJC]

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Grant Morrison, one of the best, most popular superhero writers of all-time says he's retiring from superhero comics pretty soon. Concordantly, it's only natural that one of the worst, most hated superhero artists leave as well.

[fastford58]

His foot!

I never understood the hate, I mean people really hate this guy for drawing shit. I joke about Quietly, but godddamn you expect ROb Liefield banged some of these people's moms.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Liefield: his love for the torso, his kingdom to amputate all feet!

Sad to hear about Morrison leaving too. But if DC's so restrictive at the moment, I can understand why these two would be leaving.

[SalsaShark]

dude's been an important figure in the industry

but im really glad he's gone, should have done so a long, long time ago

[fastford58]

This guy could have been great if he studied some basic muscle anatomy, perspective, and feet.

As it is though, I do love me some Liefield threads.

Pouches... so many pouches...

It's not just his art. He's a complete toolbag who blames others for his failures. Plus, he's a massive idiot, there's a Youtube video of him inking a page....WHILE DRIVING.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

More subtle is that picture. No legs, no feet!

[En Ex]

It's alright. I needed to bask in the glory, and so I knew it was a good day to do what has to be done by me!

To help your brother to defeat the enemies?

Ah man, I remember Rob Liefeld threads from toy collecting/comic book message boards. Oh, the images that would get posted, the arguments that would be had...

[Cyan]

Somewhere, a pouch is crying.

[SmithnCo]

In other news, the pouch market has crashed.

Man I was about to come in here and party hard but then I also read the Morrison stuff. :(

This is the worst professional drawing I have ever seen.

[EmCeeGramr]

i'll feather and spike my hair in memoriam

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Maybe he should get his own sitcom about the daily life of a comic-book illustrator. I'd call it—"Liefeld".

Having to come up with snarky stuff here, since it's fairly obvious why many of us don't like Liefield.

[massoluk]

I don't like him not because of his arts, but because he swiped more than others. Beside, why not? What's wrong with not liking someone because of the art? We mocked Square for belt and zipper all the time.

[Vampire Baseball]

If I didnt have so much talent, I'm sure I'd be able to take his place. :(

[fastford58]

This is the worst professional drawing I have ever seen.

If I was Liefield, I would use up my retirement trying to expunge that photo from every corner of the Earth.

Is that Captain America? It looks like some sort of patriotic flounder.

[Kosmo]

[Switters]

It's like Lobo's feet are just filled with more fists.

[Xater]

Now I looked more at the Lobo drawing and what the fuck is going on with his right leg? I think I don't even need to talk about his left foot...

[tapedeck]

Ill be honest, I didnt hate him as bad as most, I liked some of his work. He just got a little....carried away.

[BattleMonkey]

Don't see anything about him retiring, hes just not going to work for the big publishers.

[tedtropy]

...to become a dedicated foot artist.

He won my respect for shutting down an internet tough guy.

I like the first sentence of this comment:

"no one likes him because he draws comics like someone stepped on his hand and his hand was made of glass. his drawing and writing style lack any real talent. no talent dicks get scolded for getting rich off of doing nothing and get treated like they are doing something. like paris hilton or the fucking kardashians."
