Too bad Liefeld's the artist on this. I'd be interested otherwise since I think Onslaught was potentially a great villain.

DraconaInVolata
Is that for real? That cover? Thor is coming back! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

unfortunately, Onslaught is.

Disappear
it just looks so bad.

roughrider
Thumbs up to Thor's return!
Liefeld - nnnnnnnnnnnnn.....

You can certainly say that again. Looks like Mr. Fantastic has 10 fingers on his right hand...

Rob Liefield "the Most Hated Man in Comics"....he should work on X-factor. The man made me fall in love with Cable.

You mean the current x-factor?

SnakeEyes
Damn you Liefeld!!!

ScarletSpider
NO X-FACTOR FOR LIEFELD! It would be taking something so beautifully crafted by PAD and others with artistic merit and shitting all over it.

But yeah, if there was ever a project not to be excited about, it looks like this is it. Who knows. Might be pleasently surprised. Art for Liefeld standards isn't that bad. Looks like his noses are starting to take some shape, and once in awhile there's a hint of dimension.

Scoobless
I couldn't be bothered reading the whole article.... are they bringing Onslaught back for good?

I remember during the Heroes Reborn story, Avengers island had a nuclear reactor that was melting down.... Thor and Hulk had to go into it to stop it, Thor passed out and Hulk saw an apparition/vision of Onslaught..... but nothing else was ever heard of the guy since then

Lucid Lui
Meh. I'd possibly think about getting this if Liefeld wasn't on art. I didn't mind the Heroes Reborn stuff. But there's no way i'm paying to look at Leifelds art.

FG725
doesnt anyone get comics just for the plot line anymore. I mean cmon the art isnt that bad but i wont get it because i think onslaught sucks

SnakeEyes
Oh you may not think that the art is that bad now... but wait until you read an issue or so and have to stare at each and every character looking exactly the same!

FG725
yeah i just looked at the cover closer and half the people are in the same exact position

Disappear
why are thor's legs so damn long and his arms so damn thick? oh wait, i know. liefeld.

why this guy keeps getting work, i have no idea.

dman2008
Why are thing's hands bigger then his head?

Say that in a soup nazi voice. big grin

Lucid Lui
That won't actually be our Thor though will it? I seem to remember there being two Thors during Heroes Reborn.

And it looks like the one that wasn't the real MU Thor... or something...

Validus
Yeah, these are the Heroes Reborn versions of the characters. I don't think this is taking place in the 616-verse.

Lucid Lui
Ahh. I see...

Confusing. blink

Murda Mase
That art doesn't look bad except for Mr. Fantastic's right hand.

nathan summers
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.::

Murda Mase
He co created you!!lol

yeah and like almost all the characters are in the same position

Validus
And Thor's thigh being longer than his entire upper body. At least he isn't drawing Cap with Double D's anymore.

sad

*Thor, Cap, IW, and the Thing are all in the exact same poses

*Thor looks like he as a lion's mane and a giant gold and blue penis flopping in the breeze

*Thor's nose if really f**ked up (too thin), the legs are way too long and Cap doesn't have a right knee

*Mr. Fantastic's head looks like it was cut and pasted onto his body,

*the Thing's head is too small and his right wrist is nearly twice as thick as his left one

*Cap's shield isn't centered on his forearm

Murda Mase
Thor's been doing alot of squats in his new exercises workout thats all.

CO. He CO created me. It's a shame that I, Deadpool and Domino carry. But we won't let it hold us back. embarrasment

DigiMark007
Forget the artistic nit-picking you picky bastards. stick out tongue

Maybe they'll do Onslaught better this time.....he's got uber potential as a villian after all.

nathan summers
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.

MuffinmanMike
Did anyone else look at Thor and the lower picture with the Hulk and wonder when they grew their hair out?

GODDAMNIT LIEFELD THE 90s ARE OVER. ****ING LET IT DIE.

Validus
I really like the one where Cap's shield fits perfectly on Hulk. One size fits all? stick out tongue

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.

Don't feel bad for DP, Nate. He said he feels much better now that someone who's studied anatomy is drawing him.


Man this is Liefeld. It's not like we're whining about the writing in Dark Knight Returns.

DraconaInVolata
Ditto. Love the new sig though. Illuminati was great. I guarantee we'll see more Namor backhands in the Civil War.

Validus
Things aren't looking good for Tony. Him and Reed Vs Black Bolt, Namor, Strange and T'Challa. confused

Goddamn. There have been artists over the years who weren't as slick...but this is the worst looking Cap I've ever seen. sick

To each his own I say. But might I suggest the artwork of Greg Horn? Imo, he is one of the top artists at drawing female characters.

man, i cant believe nobody digs weird non-proportional stuff

I am talking more in the vein of animation vs Liefield, but still, give the man some credit

im sure you could look through the work of any artist and find specific instances where they butchered a picture, like that aweful cap...

Validus
There's more artists that (somewhat) ignore proportion than those who don't. Even Jim Lee, the superstar that he is, has some bad proportion in most of his art. Liefeld's certainly the worst at it though as you can see in the pic where Hulk's arm is longer than the rest of his body.

I tend to think Liefeld's main problem is consistency. Read the issues he did on Teen Titans last year (or maybe not) and you'll see Wonder Girl and Robin somehow change costumes for no reason. Even this series of pics show Mjolnir with different color straps and Thor with different color wristbands. At this point I think the colorists are just screwing with Rob. laughing out loud

inamilist
i was more talking about stylistic exageration of proportion, a lot of the stuff you are talking about is a decent critisism imho

I like stuff in comics that looks sureal and animated, goes with the turf if you ask me. Like nextwave or batman:secrets/year 100

wicked stuff smile

Swanky-Tuna
The man likes his biceps massive, his ladyspines U shaped, and his noses chiseled.

DraconaInVolata
and no smiles.

Sixth_Winged
Oh man. I wish Loeb writes these pieces exceptionally well cause i'm very worried to probability of having to pair with liefield and his brand of art makes comics almost impossible to redeem.

What the f**k?
That's the worst comic book rendering I've ever seen. How the hell can his chest be in perspective like that without his other arm or leg being visible?

Reminds me of something I might have done in 9th grade and a classmate's reaccuring proportion problems.

CaptainStoic
I thought that I was the only person that hated Rob Liefelds sketches... I wish they would use another artist to do Onslaught Reborn, Claudio Castelini, or Joe Maduiera would be great picks, but you can't always get what you want.

King_Mungi
I can't believe it, but I think he has actually improved.

DraconaInVolata
Is it just me, or in the picture The Kahn put up, do Cable and Shatterstar look constipated?

nathan summers
Eveyone Liefeld draws looks constipated. Not just Cable. Gimme a break here. It's bad enough he co-created one of my favorite x-men characters, isn't it? sad

Yeah, it does look a bit better. Really, none of this stuff looks like it'd distract me while I was reading.

ScarletSpider
He's certainly improved a bit over the years, but when you look at other available artists out there, one just wonders "why bother with him?"

Maybe the women of his time had more testicle fortitude than the general male. So onslaught is gonna have no penis.........does this mean he'll have somewhat a high pitched voice.

Does onslaught have genitles? I don't see why he would need them.

While some of his work I see and think, "Oh, well... that looks passable, I suppose," but others--and I'm going to put this as diplomatically as possible--I see and simply think, "sick"

"Great. I get to look sexy and hot and you assholes let Liefeld handle me."

TheKahn
Even more complainants about Liefeld's work evil face


http://www.omgcomics.com/Rob_Liefeld_tribute.htm (includes examples)
1. The left eye on a character will be closer to the nose then the right. ALWAYS.

2. Feet will rarely show up as they are in hibernation.

3. Wrists will be almost as infrequent as feet but will be covered up by wristbands or giant honkin' gloves.

4. Women will not look like women they will look like walking 45DDDDDD boobs with possible arms and legs.

5. Every character you see will have resembled another character form a different book at some point

6. Perspective will be off.......a lot.

7. A lot of characters will get more muscles then the normal human. They are special!.

8. Hands will look like dangly octopi or dreadlocks

9. Almost everyone will be constipated.

10. The guns you will see aren't really guns they are glorified sunlamps with giant screws
