I like how Liefeld’s wolverine has bigger forearms than biceps.

I wonder what he’s been doing?

Is that image of Sue and Johnny springing into action copied from a Tarzan book, replacing a monkey with Johnny?! Coz it sure looks like it to me.

[...] be more like Jim Lee in order to get more work was interesting. I’ve heard about Herb Trimpe trying a similar tactic and not meeting with much success. I read the interview, found it a little interesting, but still [...]

I remember seeing those Fantastic Four Unlimited issues when they first came out and seeing Herb Trimpe aping Liefeld just made me feel sad. While not the most talented artist in the Marvel stable during the late 60s and 70s, I will always have a soft spot for his work on the Hulk and then on Marvel’s Godzilla book. Its a lot like hearing a once great soul singer from the 60s singing disco songs in the 70s.

I feel your pain Citizen Scribbler, as Extreme Justice was my beté noir for D.C. for a long time too.

It actually nearly managed to make Heroes Reborn look readable.

Which contained Rob Liefeld art and therefore makes this post relevant.

And where would Nightwing’s run in Justice League Task Force fit into all this? I do believe it was precisely at the same time as the Knight’s End stuff, but it’s hard to tell because that’s when I stopped buying comics for a good ten years. The horror that was Extreme Justice was the one that really put the nail in my coffin…

I’m kind of embarrased that John Byrne ever had to consider that question too.
I could NEVER see what other people were apparently seeing in that panel, and the fact that those people had to work so hard to make others see it too told me that I was likely correct.

Somehow, I thought you covered some iteration of my second question in an earlier CBULR column, but Google didn’t reveal anything relevant.

If you want, I can think of a third question, and you can get all three of them answered at once and have an all-Squashua column.

This would be my second “comment waiting moderation” in about a week or so. Found out this tends to indicate my question is being researched for having Urban Legend potential.

Part 2.5 – And if it was true and discussed, which characters from each publisher were the contenders for a universe swap?

I think Sue Storm was trying out to be the new Phantom Lady.

Looking at that cover makes me think Wertham was right!

Part 1.5 – And if so, are there any future plans, or is he effectively shelved?

Got another Urban Legend Question

Part 1 – During the original DC / Marvel – Amalgam crossovers, it was passively understood that Access would be co-owned by DC / Marvel. Very little has been done with him since in either universe. Is it true that he is co-owned?

Part 2 – There was a persistent rumor around the same time, and again during the JLAvengers meet, that DC and Marvel would swap a character from each universe. Rumored candidates included both Hawkman and Hawkeye. Was this a possibility, or were people simply misinterpreting the concept of Access as a shared character and trying to apply their own rationale on it?

I’ve always been a fan of Herb Trimpe-I consider him my favorite Hulk artist with Sal Buscema- but Fantastic Four Unlimited was the Worst Drawn Comic I have ever seen. I was so utterly disgusted by it when I read issue #1 that I toar it up to pieces and threw it in a garbage can. It’s the only comic i’ve ever done this with. At the time I didn’t care that I bought it, it had to be destroyed.

Re: Art Thibert Nightwing/Starfire mini-series: This Legend inspired me to post some further reading on my blog folks might be interested in, from 1992's Amazing Heroes #202. It includes a piece of Thibert art for the book I've never seen elsewhere, including redesigned costumes, and descriptions of the plot that vary from those mentioned here. I also posted Thibert's Creators Universe Starwing and Nightfire Trading Cards, where he looked to "repurpose" his art, Rob Liefeld style.

Good lord, this week’s article content is a perfect example of why the 90′s era of comics just suuuuucked
