Did anyone here follow his recent collaboration with Robert Kirkman 'The Infinite'?

I just googled it and it looks like he chose to quite the project.

This seemed like his big opportunity to get back to the top of the industry. I still can't believe he quit a Robert Kirkman project.

[Lyte Edge]

This was the first thing I thought of after reading the OP. LOL

[evil solrac v3.0]

wait, did Morrison say he is retiring or just taking a break from Funny books to do creator owned stuff?

[ezrarh]

Maybe he pocketed enough money to give himself enough of a footing to start his own comics.

[Bleepey]

He already did that. It was called Image comics oh and yes i did get your joke.

It's given him quite the Image.

Here's a gift to all the women in the room. Look at that posture! And those pouches!

I can see that, Invincible just goes around in circles.

[megashock5]

Also obligatory.

Always love this one.

"You created X-Force?"
"Mmmm-hmmm."

yeah, Louise Simonson had nothing to do with any of those characters.

You are in luck, it is very much real.

[Dead Man]

Amidst all the LOLfield, can someone explain this?

"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."

It's a bitch to work there, but he had fun and they treat talent right?

[Log4Girlz]

Oddly, I saw a guy at my theatre strike a similar, impossible pose the other day.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I'm convinced that Liefield's going to seek out a career in costume design. His pouches are too good to pass up.

Wait wut. Someone can do a pose like that? Impossible.

This is a good shift, as much as I'll miss some of these guys on superhero books. This generation of creators, especially on the writing side, has been
doing these books too long. It's time to let others in, and let the second stringers get a chance at the big time to get eyes on their work and send us to a new direction.

It might be awhile before we get a new crop as beloved as Ellis, Vaughan, Morrison, etc, though. But in the meantime, guys like Hickman and Lemire can fill the void.

As for conditions being a bear, yet still having fun, he's probably referring to the people he works with being solid, but the reality is, having the highest end creators on monthly books and ending up with three issues a year was NOT good for the medium. Planetary can come out whenever the fuck; Batman should be a monthly book. The days of Ellis turning in two scripts a year on a top tier book are over, and monthly work is a pain in the ass for artists, even ones like Liefeld.

[Escape Goat]

Can i start reading Teen Titans again?

[zargle]

[Anticitizen One]

Can i start reading Teen Titans again?

uh Liefield is not involved with teen titans....

[FStop7]

Perspective and anatomy are like two cornerstones of figure drawing. Liefield craps on both of them.

Liefied is to comics what Bret Rattner is to filmmaking.

[esai]

Sucks about Morrison.

[Hehateme]

End of an era.... again.

[Escape Goat]

uh Liefield is not involved with teen titans....

Oh, i thought he was drawing it.

Its still got Lobdell on it so its a no either way. Dammit. New 52 needs Tim Drake.

[Anticitizen One]

DC should publish a comic written by Morrison and drawn by Liefield. The Ultimate send off for a generation of comic creators.

Heh. He did do Superior or whatever it was called with Alan Moore, so such pairs have been made in the past.

[Boss Doggie]

uh Liefield is not involved with teen titans....

Yup.

But apparently he really wanted to write one.

[CrazyDogg77]

Somewhere a pouch shed a single tear.

12-issue maxi-series sequel to All-Star Superman

"We were gonna get Frank Quitely, but we decided because he's leaving soon, Liefeld would be a better choice."

[sarcastor]

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

THAT'S suppose to be Lobo? Or is that his teenage clone? WTF????

R.I.P. pouches

[Buddha Beam]

I was happy until I got to the bit about Grant Morrison. Then I was... really, really not happy. Morrison's Batman run has been amazing.

[Platy]

You are in luck, it is very much real.

original tweet

...wow !

Also, sad for Morrison, but it is the balance of the universe for a loss like Liefeld

[tedtropy]

Why do they have...dick sparkles?

[goober]

That's supposed to be a pouch?

[PetriP-TNT]

Yay!

[corporate cheerleader]

Why do they have...dick sparkles?

Those look like whiskers to me.

[Htown]

only 20 years too late.

[Parallax]

other the the dueling chatboxes, that was a fun read.

[Rayven_king]

Tbh I'd rather keep liefeld and banish that fool jeph loed instead

[SmellyHands]

Maybe this is more of a, they no longer want to hire me because my name doesn't sell anymore and I couldn't be bothered to improve my art so I'll save face by "retiring from superhero comics" kinda thing.

[anaron]

May your character's spines rest in peace

[LAUGHTREY]

I'm honestly surprised he kept getting work. It's not like there's a shortage of artists is there?

What's wrong with Jeph Loeb again? I think the only thing of his I read was Superman/Batman and it wasn't bad at all. Isn't "The Long Halloween" pretty critically acclaimed?

[OnPoint]

I love it.

Not sure it's worth losing Morrison too, though. If it cost keeping both, I'd be in for it.

[Nesotenso]

Liefeld is no big loss to anyone. His books at DC are not lighting up the charts.

No. Stop. Don't go.

This is the guy who can't draw woman correctly right?
