I think Milo Manara drew a homage to Liefeld's Shadowhawk #0 cover.

Rob did mention Shadowhawk's "juicy butt cheeks" on his podcast.

Youngblood #10 Pencils, story Rob Liefeld
Scripter Eric Stephenson
Inker Danny Miki Jonathan Sibal
Color Christian Lichtner Kiko Taganashi
Release date: 1-12-95
Synopsis:The Younblood team wrap up the fight with Maddock, Blackrock and Warwolf. Psilence and Knightsabre are featured. Chapel discovers that Spawn has been in hell and he commits suicide. Is this an attempt to beat the Aids he has? Link meets Bravo in a 2 page “ interlude”. I’m not sure where this gets addressed next. Psilence alludes to a “ great Darkness” that is to come. Impressions:
This 10 issue series started in April of 1992 and this final book was released in January of 1995. But at the same time , he has longer runs for his other titles so it appears that he was more focused on the Extreme company than his flagship title. That’s a disappointment. The book is again filled with double page spreads so I’m gonna assume that this will always be a part of a Liefeld produced book. I’m not sure that it serves the story, but he’s playing to his fanbase. The way stories always seemed to get resolved in the sister books makes me think that maybe he should have done something similar to the triangle era of the Superman books and connected them officially. The ending of this book actually leads into an Extreme company crossover called Extreme Sacrifice. No, I will not be reviewing it. And there are about 3 dangling plot lines that are introduced in this final issue. Should I care? Almost no one is fleshed out as to their backgrounds and origins. They are all fully realized badasses as introduced. . Maybe I’m too old for this type of storytelling , or was the Image style just a blip in the overall History of comics , albeit a poor one? There is a final announcement in the letter pages with what's to come. He tells of an ongoing Badrock book that he will write and draw. I can’t believe that Badrock was a popular character.

I know that American superhero comics have always skewed toward young male teenagers who are going through a hormonal storm, but God, the 90s were very embarrassing regarding this matter. I still remember the "thong Wonder Woman". Now I hope they stopped because they realized how wrong the sexual objectification of the woman's body is, but I suspect it's simply because it's easier to find porn on the internet these days.

I don't think anyone has "stopped" exploiting the female form in any medium. Look at Tik Tok, everyone that has big breasts has a video.

The latter, more than the former. I think it is more a case of the audience outgrew this stuff and became numb to it, over time, as to why it seemed to fade out. When the speculators left, the market started shaking out, then Marvel's bankruptcy took a huge chunk of the retailing market with it. A lot of what had been happening in the 90s just collapsed from a combination of those factors and things moved on, as the survivors cleared the rubble and tried to move ahead. Image, itself, went through a period where it was a mix of the core stuff and indie people, like Jeff Smith, Coleen Doran and a few others, before you started getting later material, from people like Bendis, Kirkman and Brubaker & Phillips. Most f the core founders got more involved in running things than producing comic work, apart from Erik Larsen.

Psilence alludes to a “ great Darkness” that is to come. I don't think the Great Darkness will come about until 2982. Coincidentally, Keith Giffen had recently been writing a Badrock and Company title. There is a final announcement in the letter pages with what's to come. He tells of an ongoing Badrock book that he will write and draw. I can’t believe that Badrock was a popular character. Rob's Badrock ongoing seems to have consisted of two issues, published several months apart, the second of which is said to be a flip book with Grifter/Badrock #2.

I googled to find if after these stories they gave Psilence a more sensible costume and I found this monstrosity How people didn't feel dirty "reading" these things? There is a great difference between "sexy" and "sexualized"

It also looks like she's putting a green mountain on her head.

Skimming through this thread, I realize that Troll's secret identity is Guy Fieri.
