| That's what I was saying before. The guy is divisive but knows how to get people talking and his shitty output sells. Master artist? Maybe, maybe not. Genius? Not sure. Businessman? F to the yeah he is. | ||

| I'm not a fan. But it's all opinion and no one's opinion is more correct than anyone else's. He's got a following and you've got to give him that atleast. I don't understand the appeal but some people don't like the Beatles and I don't understand that either. | ||

| I met him at Cincinnati comic expo. He seemed congenial enough. What impressed me the most about him is that he took a lot of time talking to the kids and connecting with them. | ||

Not a fan of Liefeld, but I am a HUGE fan of Ka-Zar ... so I really have no right to criticize anyone.  |

| Dude is the king of the Bros! Nothing I've seen of his has ever appealed to me but I prefer subtlety and nuance. His work seems to be intentionally bold, over-the-top and in-your-face. Obviously there is a big audience for that in comics, and I have to respect that he supplies that market very successfully. If he's a nice guy in person, that's good enough for me, I've changed my tune on him. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson Well, the Beatles did evolve over the years and got a little deeper than "I wanna hold your hand". Maybe One Direction (and Rob L.) have evolved as well, I just haven't been paying attention to either. |

| My son is a big Deadpool fan. Liefeld was signing at Frank and Son's Collectibles in the City of Industry in CA, before the Deadpool movies. My son stopped and got an autograph for maybe 10 dollars and they chatted for about 15 minutes. Rob was super nice, answered all his questions and was charming. from a personal experience he is at the very least great to the fans. I therefore like him. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by sportshort Great story, pretty impressive that Rob was at the Frank and Son show, I can't imagine he had anywhere near the line there that he would have at a comic-con. Whether an Artist, Actor or Athlete, I just really appreciate entertainers who understand that their job is to entertain. It's to make people like them and want more of them. Some get it and some just don't like to see themselves for what they are supposed to be. Sounds like Rob gets it. |

| Met Liefeld in NYC at his solo signing a week before Deadpool 2 opened. He came to front room to welcome the 50 early birds. He was "on" - engaged everyone, did a Q&A, laughed and joked and was the ultimate showman, he was ready to have a good time and this was his way of warming up the crowd. He did 3 cool things for me - Unasked, he signed my 7-11 Slurpee Deadpool promo cup. After our photo, I said i had more I'd like signed - he said bring and he would sign - quickest trip from City to Brooklyn and back! Now there was no one left on line, he signed and didn't charge so I gifted him 'Villains Need Love' Pin & Sticker set. He had more time so we talked 1/2 hour - he asked me about what i collect, showed some prototype DP's coming soon and where to eat in area - just a casual conversation. Others jump on his feet art (psst, Kirby hated ears) or Cap't America with boobs or some of his mouth dumps. He was true class in person to everyone, to me, and then he remembered "Brooklyn DeadPool John" when I saw him at NYCC 2019. So as a person & artist, Liefeld is genius to me ^_~ HavaTaco  |

| I won't attempt to judge his personality, because I've never met him, but I can judge his art because I have seen it. It's horrible. He is a talentless hack. His artwork appeals to the same people who like to watch pro wrestling, and think Ariana Grande is a great singer because she's pretty (never mind the Lolita factor). The people who like football for the hitting and baseball for the home runs. The uneducated fan basically. People who only watch NASCAR for the crashes, and hockey for the fights, who say Kiss is a great rock band because they put on a spectacular show, but can't play a note. Back Street Boys are great singers because they can dance. The simple minded, easily entertained average, or below, IQ human. Or anybody that says the Beatles were not one of the greatest, most influential rock bands ever. | ||

| @Donnied, to me it's not that good on TV but you should try watching pro or even amateur wrestling in person sometime. It's highly entertaining, although it helps to be extremely intoxicated. If I could go back in time I would choose to see some 80s or early 90s wrestling with Hulk Hogan, Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior rather than the boring Beatles. | ||

| @Donnied When you start your day with a turd in your Cheerios, eat around it and try to get some cheer from your cereal and the rest of the day may be better. Poo-pooing on a proven, talented artist that you have 'seen' but maybe didn't really 'look' at because of your pre-judged animosity to his art. Attacking his fan base by calling them "uneducated" is forgetting these are comics, not art at the Louvre Museum. So just like some look at the Mona Lisa and see a weird chick with a warped smile - art is subjective. Your writing though is top notch for describing simpletons. Your mirror gives a clear reflection? Have a better day. | ||
