Rob Liefeld unleashes Marvel Fallout and the abuse of creators

Rob Liefeld It is not one for the things of the bedspread. The Deadpool and Cavo co-creator has built a career on bold lines and bold opinions and in a recent conversation on his return to YoungLiefeld opened on the long rough relationship that he had with Marvel, the state of the comic creators today, and because he is excited to do his things again.

Regarding how the industry treats its creators, Liefeld said to Comicbook: “We are treated like SH! Nobody wants to say it, but we are treated terribly even after all these years. We are the George RR Martins and Stephen Kings of our business. Try to do things without us and see what happens.

“I have some other films in the development phase at this moment and I can tell you that the other studies with which I work now are not so ignorant and voluntarily contemptuous as Marvel. People ask how can I do?

This is the same type of energy that has also fueled its reflections on Image Comics, which is a company that helped to launch in the 90s with an Ethos Creator-Prima which is still today.

Liefeld believes that the image has kept his promise when the others would not do it: “I loved the characters I created for Marvel and it is sad to greet him, but I am happy. It is sad that the more creators do not get up, but I was in the void.

“Me and my colleagues founding images have made a solid for this business because Image Comics made its initial promises. Come to Image Comics and keep your entertainment rights, enter with them and go out with them. This has always been our intent. We put our money where our mouth was on that.”

He continued saying: “I am not going to necessarily call to weapons for fans. The last deal is that I want to spread the rumor that in the end it costs them nothing to deal with it better. I am not talking about me, but I want a better treatment for the next generations of comic creators.

“In the end, it almost seems that creators are annoying for these companies. They talk to you as” you are lucky to tolerate you “. When I was 22, I sold Cable, Deadpool and Domino and I cut good business, making that choice for those characters.

Furthermore, he did not avoid criticizing creative stagnation in Marvel and DC. “We are honest, what I see month after month, is more or less the same. Plus Spider-Man’s books, more Batman’s books, I mean more power for them, they are enormous and successful characters.

“When I raided, there was only an avalanche of new characters. You know I entered Cable and Deadpool but you had Venom, Carnage, Darkhawk, Night Thrasher, Sleep Walker and were making new characters. He put their foot forward.

Youngblood #1 It is outside today and Liefeld has just begun.
