A sign of the apocalypse?

This is what happens when Mark Millar and Rob Liefeld get to work on a comic together.

Let me warn you - it ain't pretty. Or particularly work safe.

Argh! Boy, that left a sour taste in my mouth. Just... Like whoa!

Um?

That... was... um?

What?

*boggle*

INORITE?! *ded*

I can only hope and pray that I'm not the only one who found it INTENSELY funny that the panel with the line about "another series of blow jobs" contains almost exclusively heavily-muscled, dripping wet young men. ^_^ I suppose it is vaguely possible that it wasn't a visual Freudian slip, but... I'm doubting it. XD

Rob Liefield's art is even more barf-worthy than usual, :P I was going to say that he's one of the few artists out there whose style gets sloppier as he goes along, but then I remembered John Byrne and plenty of other undeservedly "big names"... so I withdraw that statement. ;D

I always hope that someday, Rob Liefield will disappear into some sort of artistically catatonic state and never publish anything again.

*goes to happy comics place*

Someone let Liefeld out of the remedial drawing class? Oh, lord, that is unreal.

Isn't Youngblood an Image comic, or did Marvel let those two back into the house? I haven't bought a comic in a year, so I can't remember who owns what now.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think they were *trying* to malign Marvel somehow, to say they were pussies compared to their "EXXXXXXXTREME HEROES" as someone put it, but it just ended up making them look really, REALLY gay.

There's a reason these guys never made any money and Liefeld went under.

It's an Image comic. Apparently it didn't do very well. Heaven knows why that was. :T

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

He IS an artistically catatonic state. He farts this shit out, I swear.

[rhyana.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. I've only read one Image comic (damned if I remember what it was -- one storyline had the lead heroine, Caitline I think, crushing on the team's mentor... WildC.A.T.S., I think it was), and owned some of the cards they produced. That's my only knowledge of Youngblood. I recognized the title font from a comic card made circa 1996.

I love that Liefeld (How the fuck is that spelt, anyway?) spelled it "Younblood" in that close-up graphic. HEhehehe.

[asweetdownfall.livejournal.com]

WTF dude? That is just...plain wrong.

"Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

You said it, Ripley.

Oh dear lord! How did *that* get published!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. It's pretty toxic, isn't it?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Well, it's Liefeld's company, I think.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I know. Boy, do I EVER know.

I feel dirty, I need a shower. *shivers* Ick.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I know. It's like a venereal disease in comic form.
