Growing up I based my own style on Liefeld. I am no star or even that talented, but I used to idolize him.



Now with all this crap he has pulled since the DC relaunch, he disgusts me.

Even at that age, you're better than Leifeld by far. 20+ years he's been drawing professionally, and his art still looks like shit. Absolutely ZERO improvement. Zero change, zero evolution. I'm not even hating on the guy for the DC debacle. He's apparently a great parent and maybe a nice guy, (Ive never personally met him) but he's just a TERRIBLE artist. I don't know why Kirkman got him to draw for The Infinite. Somehow Kirkman claims he likes his style. I just don't see it. Never seen it. I remember thinking "wtf is that" when XForce started back in '92. Id never heard of him before then, but I thought he was god awful back then.

As for the Infinite, I wanted to keep reading it but my eyes kept bleeding out so I had to stop.

I know there's a lot of hate there for Liefied, and it's not unwarranted. However this is better than Liefield? Come on. You tell he did that when he was child.

The art on ExplodingDog.com is better than Leifeld. BTW Im not comparing Booger's art to Exploding Dog. I'm not that mean.

What's some of the worst writing you've come across in your comic reading?

I came across one of the laziest, worst example of terrible writing in a comic that I've seen in a loooong time.

It shouldn't have come as a surprise considering what I was reading, but I wanted to know an important part of Guy Gardner's history, so I bought it for dirt cheap to read it anyways. It was "The Way of the Warrior" storyline that ran through Justice League America, Guy Gardner: Warrior, and Hawkman in the mid-90s. Supposedly it tells the origin of the Vuldarians and Guy's weird alien powers he had then, which is why I wanted to read it.



Here's the bad writing part:

At the end of Part 1, the final panel shows Arisia dying in Tiger Man's arms after being attacked, and Guy Gardner's powers completely spazzing out and him being a genetic mess on the ground. So then I go to open Part 2, and there's no mention of Arisia AT ALL, and Guy Gardner is A-Okay with absolutely zero explanation and is about to lead a team to counter-attack the aliens that just attacked them.

...WTF?! DC just ignores the cliffhanger ending of Part 1 and pretends it never happened, IN THE SAME STORYLINE?! I just put it down and stopped reading after that.

What are some of the worst written comics/storylines that you've read?

I've been following the new Scarlet Spider, and Venom books pretty closely now. I'm very excited for the new Minimum Carnage arc starting tomorrow.

Is that tomorrow? Sweet. 90s nostalgia lives!

How you guys didn't comment on the Greg Weich videos baffles me.

Minimum Carnage Alpha comes out tomorrow. The first book. And then the story continues in the new issues of Scarlet Spider/Venom which drop next week. I'm psyched.
