No, no, no, NO! It's CAN'T BE BACK! IT CAN'T!! PLEASE NO! I though he was dead... LIEFELD! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo! The gritting teeth and protruding chest....NOO...... ::Nervous breakdown.::
Picky? Look at those beady eyes! They're horrifying! Why is virtually everyone gritting their teeth? And why are they the size of corn? Liefeld is a tragedy. Join us in mocking his lack of proportions when it comes to drawing the human figure.
I really like the one where Cap's shield fits perfectly on Hulk. One size fits all?
I agree with you Digi. Loeb is pretty good writing this type of story (action, action, and more action). I'd be all over this if Liefeld wasn't along for the ride.
"Below are common criticisms of Liefeld's artwork. Some of the features cited are idiosyncratic, while others were fairly widespread trends in mainstream comics of the 1990s. Although all these criticisms have been made of Liefeld's art, he was still a huge draw as an artist in the early 1990s, and retains some degree of popularity today.
* Limited facial expressions, generally ranging from barely-restrained anger to a look that is regularly described as "constipated" by less charitable commentators
* Distorted proportions such as tiny heads, wrists, and ankles and oversized breasts and muscles, as well as the occasional swipe with female face and breasts layered onto an obviously male figure
* Impossibly exaggerated female figures, characterized by large breasts, spines curved to 180°, and waists smaller than their biceps
* Conspicuous panel-to-panel inconsistencies in costumes, backgrounds, and even the number of digits on characters' hands
* Use of objects, other figures, or the frame edge to conceal characters' hands and feet
* Poses that appear to be both illogical (in the context of the plot) and anatomically impossible, or at least uncomfortable
* Skewed perspective: often a picture will be begun in one perspective then be finished in another.
* Disproportionate facial features. Eyes are frequently asymmetrical, often drawn on a skewed axis on the face; noses are often misplaced; and grimacing characters regularly display impossible numbers of uniformly-shaped teeth.
While Liefeld's artwork, particularly in his earlier efforts, manifested a striking design sense, his shortcomings were initially covered up by strong, experienced inkers. As Liefeld was able to exercise greater control over the form in which his work appeared, those shortcomings became conspicuous, and defined the public perception of his work."
