Rob Liefeld is a genius and a master artist.11878

Here's a story about how Image Comics originally wanted every one of their comics to say "Presented by Jack Kirby," so they could both honor the King and rub Marvel's noses in it.

My take on Liefeld is when he takes his time like on the Hawk and Dove mini-series and the first few issues of New Mutants he did, he is not bad. But when he rushes his work like he does on 99% of it, it is horrible. Not only that but he never met a deadline he couldn't miss.

I like Liefeld’s enthusiasm for the hobby and, sometimes, I like his art. He *clearly* has ego issues, however. Anyone remember his collaboration with Robert Kirkman, The Infinite, from 2012? There was a lengthy article on Bleeding Cool, with visuals, detailing how Kirkman was unhappy with Liefeld for making the inker finish his half-assed work. It was very telling and is no longer on the web.

But to each his own. I think highly of DrWatson and many others here that have said they like his work. So you like his stuff, collect it. Maybe it's a generational thing. I'm older than most of you kids here

The reason I like this is it doesn't actually look like Liefeld's work LOL.

So maybe what some have said is true. If he really tries and puts time into it, his art is a lot better.
