Interlude: Someone's a Jerk To Rob Liefeld - People Disapprove

In news that you all know already, Rob Liefeld was totally insulted and belittled by a douche in a yellow hat. In a rather unexpected move he managed to not really react or care at the time.

Now I'm not a fan of Liefeld. I think he's part of a disease that is bad artistry. But that's just a critical look at his art style, where it doesn't suit my preferences. Or is completely buttfuck insane. That doesn't mean I agree with someone being a complete cunt to someone who puts his heart and soul into his work (no matter how bad that work is).

This guy... Is un-fucking-believable. To feel you're owed an apology for something you could have just NOT READ or just straight-up ignored is ridiculous. But to go one step beyond and belittle the artist AND give him a copy of 'how to draw the marvel way'...

I'm a dick, but this guy is a CUNT.

Bonus: Peter David has something to say about it too kinda

1000 Hits AND Matching Output From Last Month?!

Okay okay, so most of those hits are just random ones from me updating or trying to fix stuff with the site but a celebration's a celebration. So here's our celebration:

COMIC NUDES!

Oh.... Oh God I'm so sorry.... WHY DID I DO THAT?!

Further evidence Liefeld is a (disproportionate) DICK!

Interlude: New Marvel 70th Covers

Eh........ So I've managed to also miss the lazy Sunday update. This doesn't bode well for the week ahead where I am sans laptop for the majority of the week. Anyway, I'll try and crack out these interlude updates (I'll drop the interlude prefix after a while and just make them random posts or the like) whenever I'm at a computer.

Today we get to have a peek at those 70th anniversary Marvel covers that are coming our way in the coming... whenever.

WHY IS THE JUMP THING NOT WORKING PROPERLY TODAY?!

First up: the X-Books ones (ahahaha oh like you're not sick enough of X-Stuff being on here already!)

These, by and large, look pretty cool. Except Deadpool's... Oh and X-Force's... and Uncanny and X-Factor look boring... And despite my love of the New Mutants series I don't know enough to understand why that cover is cool...

WAIT! Doesn't that mean that the only two that look cool enough to be worth getting are... Liefeld and Land's covers for Cable and Legacy respectively?!

.... Oh shit.

Moving on from that depressing nugget of thought-juice we have the other recently revealed covers:

Agents of Atlas: COOL! Mighty Avengers: ICE COOL! Iron Man: .... 'tis okay. Guardians of the Galaxy: AWESOME!

So yeah out of all these announced, I'd say ignore the X-Covers (save admitting that Land and Liefeld can do okay) and go straight for Atlas, Mighty or Guardians, all three of which are awesome covers to awesome series.

... Yeah... That's an update.

BUT WAIT! FOR THE FULL SIZE IMAGES GO TO COMIC BOOK RESOURCES AND IGN COMICS!

Interlude: SO MANY UPDATES!

We've updated a lot today. To celebrate, a meaningless update featuring an image from Encyclopaedia Dramatica:

Oh yeah, it's relevant too

Ah.... Memes. Here's to another 25 updates and many more!

Video Review Preview: Script Fragments

Okay, the first post I ever made on this blog was promising three video reviews for the period of June/July.

We're now in July.

I have largely, as one would say, fucked up.

Lessons have been learnt.

The main lesson? DON'T PROCRASTINATE! The other? Learn how to script more efficiently of course.

So as a sort of apology for something that was intended to start BEFORE the release of Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth #01 I'm allowing you all a peek at the introduction, mainly because it's outdated, but also because it gives you an idea how bloated this first review is.

HIT THE JUMP AND UNDERSTAND MY ANGUISH!

In the next few days the popular Liefeld creation Deadpool is
getting another ongoing series, giving him a total of three series
running at the same time. I'd rib on this for being a stupid idea
but when Wolverine has something approaching 8 series featuring
him and there being something like 5 Avenger books at present
so why should I care about deadpool having as few as THREE series?
So with his new series in mind this is the MERC WITH A MONTH!
A horrible pun celebrating a below-average character that has only
really stepped into his own once. Just once. With Cable & Deadpool.

First up I'm reviewing a comic so awful, so BRAIN-NUMBINGLY SHITTY
that whatever I say about it today barely surmises just how much I
want this comic to be burned en masse. I would actually get a
copy myself and destroy it but Wizard magazine informs me that
copies of the issue are currently worth FORTY FIVE DOLLARS.

FORTY. FIVE. DOLLARS.

That's like thirty quid or something over here in Blighty. You
could buy a shitload of DECENT comics that are coming out in
the present day! If anyone has actually shilled out this much
for the comic then they should bore into their head with a
heavy duty mining drill. This becomes all the more humourous
when you consider the comic is now being reprinted in Deadpool's
new series! YOU'VE WASTED FORTY FIVE DOLLARS ON A COMIC INCLUDED
IN A $3.99 RELEASE!

The idea here is that I write the main gist of what I want to say and in the recording I'll adjust it as I see fit. All the same, this introduction may seem redundant now that Deadpool's new series has already started, so the final product may differe greatly. Also I chopped off the first paragraph and the last paragraph of the intro to keep some sense of mystery to the start of the video.



BONUS: A COMPLETELY RANDOM EXCERPT!

Cannonball states "Hope you don't mind if AH get into it for my
OWN sake then..." which in the context of my delusions just makes
it sound like he wants to pilot the Rape-Bot and join in the
action, something that unsettles me deeply.

Looking at Cannonball's get-up I really wish I could come up with
a "the goggles, they do nothing" joke, but sadly nothing comes to
mind. I guess I'm just not funny enough.

Yeah I'll ATTEMPT to make stuff like this funnier or at least flow better in the final product.

There you go, hope you... read it. Or at least watch the final product.




Quick-Fire Reviews out tomorrow or tonight, Top Ten #3 and the Top Five bonus will be out before the weekend is out unless I get more retarded. Which knowing me.... Well...

Lazy Sundays #1: The Rob Liefeldephant

So, every sunday I'm going to stave off boredom by doing whatever my friends tell me to do on this blog.

This Week:

DOT told me to draw an elephant. Not particularly relevant to comics, so I made it EXTREEEEEEME LIEFELD STYLE! (apologies to anyone unfortunate enough to gaze upon my awful doodle)

Note the misproportioned body, diamond feet, massive arms

(or would they also be feet?) bad mullet, random addition of

a diamondy star thing on one of his eyes, no eyes at all

(youngblood's disease), bad shading, gravity defying tail

and a ridiculously emphasised crotch.

HAI LIEFELD I AM ARTIST TOO NOW DOYYYY!

.... I'm not very nice to him am I?
