This Is all bullCRAP!DC has fooled all of you and many creators.52 is nothing more than an experiment a super long heroes reborn.Its been done before and is nothing new.Liefeld and Jim Lee are the biggest hints as to what is going on.The old pre flashpoint heroes will be back in some end of the universe storyline.Calm your nerves enjoy the good stuff like Robinsons Shade and Morrisons Superman Snyders Batman.Take the rest of your money and go buy good old comics back issues and trades.This will not last mark my word.

Only a couple of you has is right…the thought to be thinking about here is, dc is now downsizing their american talent, to get cheaper workers, to make that bottom-dollar seem more, inflated for their bosses. The new 52 was all started last minute not from editorial mandate, but from upper executives. They approached them with a “fix it somehow” thing or we’ll downsize without your input. This lit the fire, and everyone at dc ran around until didio went in and said “hey, can i finally reboot everything like i wanted when i first got here?”

I guess they agreed. But we will see this turn around. I for one, cannot wait for the end of the 52.

On another note, Valiant is back and doing big things…

Liefeld’s art looks terrible and very dated, very ’90s. He hasn’t improved his craft in 15 – 20 years. Why doesn’t he at least try to become a little better? You know, learn some anatomy and proportions, perspective and foreshortening, draw some backgrounds here and there, etc.

Chuck Dixon was just years ahead of the curve. If you can’t work with an accommodating guy like that, what hope do you have?

Liefeld: “Freelancers, tell your editor he works for you, not the other way around. Routinely fire them to remind then you call the shots.”

Worst advice to young comic writers and/or artists EVER.

If DC would find a printer who had lower prices, get rid of that ‘shiny’ paper and hire ad execs to sell space in DC books, comics could cost $1.99 again. If has been fanboy faves like Liefeld would just fade away and get jobs at Radio Shack or something, people who actually LIKE working in comics and who want to do good work would finally have a chance to resuscitate this business. Liefeld AND DC are in denial. It’s like they’re happy to get the occasional buyers who will fall away after a couple of months and never return. While, the stalwarts would support good comics forever if only DC would stop making it so hard to ‘like’ them. Sure, the new 52 (What does that even MEAN any more?) was a big risk. It didn’t take big balls to shoot those dice. It was an obvious desperation play. I don’t HATE Liefeld. I just wish he would be relegated to the moment of comics history he belongs in. Not trying to recapture past glory by being the same hack he always was.

I don’t care how much past fame and money he has in the bank. I don’t give a d@mn if any of his properties are turned into films.
His Twitter comments slamming fellow professionals are puerile trite and immature. He comes off as a petulant child throwing a hissy fit because his daddy v-chipped Nick Jr. from him because he can’t play well with others.
What a pathetic child.

As I see it, the general consensus in the comics comunity is that Rob Liefeld`s a horrible artist and writer. For the life of me I can’t figure out how any relevant publisher would want to hire that hack.

Liefeld has ruined each and every book he’s been in. Message to publishers: Don’t let this man near any character or series of certain value. Better yet, don’t let him near anything at all.

I still think that what is going on with DC has no respect for the fans and no respect for what has been an amazing history of DC Comics for over 75 years. Sure Didio comes from Hollywood and his ideas work there, where you can take the idea of Underdog, throw out every aspect of the cartoon that matters and just have a stupid beagle in a cape–but that kind of thing doesn’t work in comics. When you take Jay Garrick and turn him into a lame twenty-something in a stupid cap or Solomon Grundy and completely throw out his origin-like Hollywood would do with Twenty-One Jumpstreet or Green Lantern–you’re going to lose those of us that have been reading comics for more than a few months. But I have to ask again–is this the plan? Are Warner Brothers and Dan Didio trying to kill the comics aspect of DC, in favor of the toy, cartoon and movie aspects that make more money? Sending the art overseas, where it can be done extremely cheaply–forcing artists to ignore generations of history. Taking the names of characters and doing what I call the Recombinant DCU–that is, throwing DC characters names in a hat alongside a series of traits and pulling them out to see what you get, is the new way of creating the DCU. For DCNUwbies this may be fine, but for the rest of us–this is anathema–a best. An insult, worst.

I know some people will stand behind the idea that new is good, old is bad–but that is just ignorant, really. Just because something is new, does not mean it is better, it needs to be solid, cohesive, logical–good.

The awesome thing–and which will be great when Dan Didio is sent out on a rail–is that it will be the fans that will, ultimately decide–no Editorial fiat will hold over time, ultimately it is us who decides what sells–Earth-2 will ultimately fail. Ultimately the originally JSA will show up in the DCU and will kick these newbies in their high-collared a$$es. Ultimately, the original Dick Grayson and Huntress and Superman will be back and Dan Didio will go back to working at NBC, ABC or PBS or wherever he came from and folks like Superboy will rave about how new and exciting this all is–because people like him have no real ideas or history of their own. I just can’t wait for us to get over this crappy period and get back on track.

Supes–I miss nothing, I simply have a different point of view and having written for Comic Bloc and Comics Bulletin–I tend to think that I have better bona fides than you do.

Whether you agree or not.

You miss my point entirely–it is not our place as fans to give one single farthing about what DC needs to do as a company to stay afloat–we are not here to make sure that they make any money whatsoever–it is our place to make sure that they make the best stories possible and that they make the best product possible–it is their place to find a balance between the two. I never understand those people who check on sales for any reason other than to see if their favorite comics will be around another day. You are ignorant, or better yet–you are willing to sell yourself out for sales–essentially you have no soul–I would rather read old comics and build up my Golden Age archives–than read the crud that you are willing to swallow just because you want to swallow anything that they think will bring in new sales–be proud of your stupid, small-minded concept of out with the old and in with the new–because that could comfort will lead you nowhere. You may like all of these pod characters–but some of us have higher standards than newbies like you.

Gremlin517, You miss my whole point in the first place. My main point is that “fans” much like yourself who are “dedicated” to the characters and not DC do not respect what DC as a publishing company has to do to stay afloat in an industry where print is “dying”. My point is that the “fans” that are leaving cause they feel that DC owes it to them to keep things the same when in all actuality, You nor any other “fan” whether its of DC or the characters, knows what from pre flash point is being kept and what is not since it has not been written yet (except for green lantern stuff which is mostly untouched). So yeah i find it rediculous that you and the others rant and complain when you know nothing. 1) Just because you buy comics doesnt mean you know how the industry is ran and how it should be ran, and 2 lets face it whether you or anyone else likes it, the fact is that the wheels of time turn, styles of writing change, styles of art change (or at least it should unlike Liefield who has run the same crap art since Heroes Reborn Cap America and before), and people preferences change. The fact is that DC probably looked at it like most of the “Crisis” Legacy became a big mess with many heroes sharing the same name and tights all running around at the same time (i.e. wally, barry, Jay, and even a stint of bart running around as The Flash, or Bruce sharing the cape with Dick). Im not saying these are horrible stories cause they are great, but that and more would get real confusing to bring new readers into (young or old). They did what they needed to do to keep the business running and boost sales by modernizing the DC Universe. Out with the old and in with the new. I guess like they say “Ignorance is Bliss”.

Rob Liefeld has been important to comics and its continued relevance. His work in the 90s is a milestone….

THAT SAID, his work hasn’t grown/evolved SINCE the 90s. I read an issue of Deathstroke and it looks like a derivative Youngblood #1 (the first #1. How many times has THAT series been relaunched?)

Liefeld needs to get with the times and stop pretending that his musclemen style is going to make a comeback. Jim Lee did him a favor by bringing him into something as big as The New 52 and his work was underwhelming. Like most of the IMAGE guys, Liefeld is better with pictures than words.

But I’ll miss him. No one throws a hissy fit like Rob Liefeld and my pair of Levi’s 501 button fly jeans just won’t fit the same.

Maybe I’ll buy some of these titles now that Liefeld has gone. I’ll check them out. In fact I like the Hawkman character quite a bit, but there’s no way in hell I’d buy anything from that guy.

I imagine his editor said something along the lines of, “Hey Rob, can you really try and give us something this month that doesn’t suck? Possibly draw a background somewhere, maybe even a foot or two?” Knowing he was out of his league, he whined like a little bitch and took his ball and went home.
