Nov 28, 2017 · The Liefeld drawing is bad but the blogger makes an excellent point. My problem with Liefeld has always been that he doesn’t seem to improve.

Rob Liefeld was different. From your perspective he sucks and that’s the end of the matter. Back then he was a breath of fresh air.

Rob's personality led to a lot of controversy and some bad business dealings. The fans started turning on him. A lot of young fans started to sour on his art. He became a meme.

Dec 12, 2023 · Liefeld created a completely one dimensional, lifeless, obvious ripoff of Superman for his ABC comics line. Moore took the character and spun it into a deft and compelling exploration of the Superman archetype and its various origin stories, which is legitimately one of my favorite comics runs of all time.

i never really minded the silly/absent feet, most artists in the 90s drew their feet like that anyway including jim lee (probably where liefeld picked up the bad habit). i was always much more annoyed by the fact that early on he COULD NOT draw fists (they just looked like misshapen clubs) and he still can't properly draw a hand gripping a weapon.
