He's already beat the haters, lounging on his piles of money. I'm still amazed what he got out of X-Force, Cable, Deadpool, etc.But yeah, surprisingly level-headed opinions from the dude in the Levis commercial

Jesus Christ: New Mutants #98 is now worth a pretty penny

wasn't it worth around that much during Liefeld's heyday?

I presume New Mutants #98 is that pricey because it was the first appearance of Deadpool? I doubt people wanted it that much before Deadpool became the Wolverine of the new millennium.

It's probably gone up, but there was a time when all of those early Liefeld NM issues were fetching high prices, like the early McFarlanes AMS issues

It's probably people expecting the comic to rocket in value after the deadpool movie comes out, like guardians of the galaxy made those issues scarce

Those Liefeld New Mutants issues used to be 'hot' because they introduced Cable, who quickly got his own comic off the back of them.

Yeah, I remember cashing in bitd on New Mutants 87-90.

As a lad I bought what I later realized was a reprint of NM 87 for two bucks, hands shaking, thinking I was really getting away with something. #98 was always hot too IIRC... Deadpool wasn't as big a deal in the 90s as he was in the 2000s but he was inexplicably big. Versus the first appearance of Krule or G.W. Bridge or whoever.

I clown on Liefeld, but I not only bought but bought/sold/rebought his NM/X-Force stuff, so I guess the clown's on me.

Yeah, there's a weird lack of depth in that pic, I can't quite figure out what's causing it. The shading and perspective seems to be done reasonably well, at least when you consider that this is Liefeld.

well, it's patrick blaine and mike capprotti over liefeld's pencil roughs - i think we can give them credit for anything positive about it

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves pouches.

The art will be provided by a variety of illustrators working over my pencils, layouts and storytelling.
I'm guessing that since he's hiring people who can actually draw, including feet, his work is at stick-figure level now.

Naw, something closer to this actual pose. Liefeld is not capable of mentally re-arranging objects into different positions or imagining what they would look like from different perspectives. I wanted to say it was video game box cover art but I can't place what. Also note the suspicious dust kicked up where the snake meets the ground, obscuring any mis-matches, as if he couldn't even just sketch in the outline of a snake for chrissakes.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 19 March 2015 13:12 (nine years ago) link
I thought it might be the golden snake in Conan #24, Barry Smith's last issue, but I checked and none of the poses are quite right.

I don't think it's a rip, but that might have been what forks was thinking of re Veitch.

probably a rip of something liefeld saw airbrushed on the side of a van
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 19 March 2015 13:28 (nine years ago) link
it's definitely a specific image that he lifted for the roughs and gave as reference because it's pretty dead-on in my memory. wood/corben/veitch/kubert/frazetta listed because it matches their styles, but it could easily have been an album cover, book illustration or video game ad.

This thread started a really dumb joke brewing in my head about Liefeld's inability to draw a kangaroo. Just guess the punchline.

Have been told by a reliable source that during his time on New Mutants Liefeld received considerable advice from a well-established and respected comic book artist, particularly to do with perspective.
