I find Jim Lee and a few other popular superhero artists from the 1990s onwards not dissimilar to Liefeld in their overall aesthetic, even though they may be much better artists technically, with a better grasp of anatomy and how to frame a panel and so on. One of several reasons I find most superhero comics after the 1980s unreadable. So many 1990s superhero comics were horrible, especially any illustrated or influenced by Liefeld, McFarlane, Jim Lee or Bagley. They effectively ripped the dynamic, progressive language of superhero comics out of the medium, replacing it with their anything-goes, erratic, overblown crud.

You missed the most important part... why does a guy that has no mouth, and obviously talks with his abdomen, need a head set? Seriously though, that cover isn't as atrocious as some Liefield art, but that doesn't make it good. I'm glad you like it, you're definitely allowed, but it's not going to compare favorably to, well, anything. UNLIKE AEW, where I could point out Cody is being an old fuddy duddy like Jim Cornette and wants 20 minutes of rest holds to built a match instead of amazing feats of athleticism, which he's welcome to. I'll stick with my flips and excitement. The Rock N Roll Express and Midnight Express did not have 20 minute rest holds, did flashy moves, yet still told a coherent story. So did Tiger Mask and Dynamite Kid and looked competitive doing it. It's the storytelling that is important, the reason why you do the move or layout the panels in a comic page or even single image. Anyone can do pinups or moonsaults, a real artist does them at the right moment, or with the right composition and placement. I'll stick to being a fuddy duddy, when both pro wrestling and comic books appealed to a wider audience. Now, get out of my ring....er, off my lawn! ps Here's why the person with no mouth has a microphone..... (Warning: Potty mouth monkey)

Tiger Mask vs Dynamite Kid matches have a bad rep online and both workers are fairly maligned, though Tiger Mask's rep was rehabbed a bit by people finally bothering to watch his UWF matches. Cornette panders to his audience. I would completely ignore him if I were an AEW fan.

Deadpool: Badder Blood has sold out and is going to a second print. Didn't you already tell us this in your initial post?
Maybe it was a second print

You do know these are largely printed to order Also I don't see anyone saying he doesn't have a big fan base.

I mean, one assumes #2 will also be a sell-out with Shatterstorm...the next great Liefeld creation.

Maybe it was a second print Ha, I forgot that I posted this after the news of a second print was released. Credit where its due- if it were easy , publishers would have second prints of many books and the big 2 would stop hiring him for runs. There are many top creators that can't get work by Dc or Marvel. Steve Rude, Jerry Ordway, John Byrne, Ron Frenz. to name a few. I like all those artists that I mentioned but facts are facts.

I see second prints all the time. Warlock Reborn just had one. As did Dr. Strange.
Bit again, he has a fan base he is popular with, that has nothing to do with the actual quality of his work.

Deadpool: Badder Blood has sold out and is going to a second print. This could go in the one letter off thread as Bladder Blood. Might make a better read. Heehee.

That Shatterstar cover is horrendous. If a kid showed that to a pro at a convention, he would be told to go to Art School.
