Once Again The Devil Returns

 
Damn this looks so stupid. How does this numnut keep getting comic book work? Liefeld is my least favorite comic creator of all time. He never got better in all the years I had to suffer following his work. We all share that sin. We all made him think he was good when we should have crushed him with the lack of dollars spent on his stuff. Notice the feat. Now he can draw feet? How about backgrounds? I don't want to know. Not even for free is it worth a second more of my time. I don't 'get' Deadpool anyways. No loss for me.
 
Comics legend Rob Liefeld returns to Marvel alongside fan-favorite X-Men ’92 writers Chris Sims & Chad Bowers for an explosive new adventure starring the Merc With a Mouth. Today, Marvel is pleased to Deadpool: Bad Blood – the newest Original Graphic Novel hitting stores worldwide next year! Debuting in a high-end, oversized format, Deadpool: Bad Blood marks another thrilling entry into Marvel’s growing Original Graphic Novel line.
 
Shooting, stabbing and otherwise annoying his way across the Marvel Universe has made Deadpool scores of enemies over the years. Even though his sordid past contains countless unfriendly faces, there is one he can’t quite place. A brutal new foe known only as Thumper. Outgunned, outmatched, and outclassed by this new foe, Wade’s gotten his rear end handed to him on more than one occasion. But who is Thumper? And what is Deadpool’s past connection to this powerful new baddie?
 
“The idea that you can tell one consecutive story un-interrupted is unique nowadays,” says Rob Liefeld, discussing his upcoming OGN with ComicBook.com. “No single issue breaks and cliff hangers allow for greater momentum building the tale. The format has tremendous storytelling opportunities. I’m having a blast as are Chad and Chris.”

Wade’s journey to uncover the truth and escape Thumper’s crosshairs will take him across the Marvel Universe and into the path of many familiar faces. Cable! Domino! Shatterstar! Star-Lord! And more! Blood will be shed. Old scores will be settled. Deadly twists and turns await as Wade Wilson faces one of his greatest challenges yet. Be there for the fireworks as Liefeld, Sims and Bowers bring you Deadpool: Bad Blood in 2016!

Cal, take a deep breath. Chill out. You say Liefeld's work isn't worth another second of your time... then write a whole post about it? Why give him any more exposure?

His "artwork" is as shitty today as it always was but I'm glad to say it doesn't bother me. I don't have to buy it or even look at it. Which, to be honest, is how I feel about most modern superhero comics. I've pretty much given up on "mainstream" comics with their badly drawn, cynically written recycling of the same old characters and plots. There's probably some good stuff out there but there's too much crap to wade through to find it...

You are right. But he just gets to me and this rant helps me cope.

Rob Liefeld is the Adam Sandler of comics: inexplicably popular in the 1990s, trying to coast on that popularity ever since.

Mark my words: we have not heard the last of Rob Liefeld. Twenty years from now, he'll still be popping up with a new Deadpool or Cable project because someone at Marvel is too fanboy to say no.

Well said. He claims a legacy and a respect that is NOT his due. He is just taking up space for a really talented artist out there. In fact he is using air that other people need not to mention the water and living space.

I am more mad at myself for all his work that I have in my personal comic book collection. It's like mold on the gold, ya know. I can't believe I ever thought for a second that he was the 'next wave'. Gah, was I ever so stupid?
