Liefeld to draw issues of Teen Titans. Comics fans mourn.

[Klaus]

So Rob Liefeld, the worstest comics penciller this side of... Rob Liefeld, will be drawing two issues of DC's Teen Titans, written by Gail Simone. The issues feature the new Hawk & Dove, which harkens back to Liefeld's first pro work, in the Hawk & Dove miniseries that introduced Dawn Granger as Dove II.

Check out Robin's forearm!

I don't consider Liefeld's work that bad, but then I'm not a connesieur of art, either. One thing I note - Raven seems rather... well-endowed, does she not? I always thought of her as a little more (putting this mildly) "A" sized than that.

Liefeld isn't "bad" per se. I've seen far worse in published products (RPG and comics and magazines and art museums). But...he draws his men as overly muscular, and his women as overly busty.

In fact, were he to draw Power Girl, he'd probably end up giving her her own gravity well.

Power Girl has had her own gravity-defying powers since Bart Sears drew her in JLE.

Good times...

I mourn, indeed. Thank goodness it's only two issues.

Liefeld isn't "bad" per se...

Yes he is. His grasp of anatomy is so poor one would think he was himself, an ooze. No one possessed of actual arms could draw Robin's arm like that and not laugh himself silly.

On the other hand, he's usually laughing all the way to the bank.

We are a doomed race.

Ugh... I haven't been collecting comics for years.

I'm just shocked that this putz is still getting paid by someone as an "artist". It's laughable.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Finding this out was almost enough to make me skip the two or three issues of Teen Titans. Add to that that Geoff Johns won't be writing them (he's taking a couple months off, working on Infinite Crisis).

I generally like Gail Simone's work, though, and since I'm collecting the title, I am just going to hope for the best.

Power Girl has had her own gravity-defying powers since Bart Sears drew her in JLE. Good times...

Aaaah, Power Girl. Sigh.

Wait, what was this thread about again? Just got distracted, thinking about ....Power Girl....sigh again...

Hey, is this a sign, of a book's cancellation. ???
