So Rob Liefeld is holding a contest.
People submit a short story using one of his Extreme characters, and he'll pick three winners, and draw the stories himself to appear in the comics.
Yes, the prize is to have your story drawn by Rob Liefeld. Almost seems like a punishment, to me. I guess if you want to be a winner, make sure to avoid using feet in your story, because he definitely wouldn't pick it.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.I was stopping by a comic book shop a couple of days ago, and I came across Deathstroke #0. And as I flipped through the pages, I realized an issue that while mentioned all the way back in the first page is never really mentioned a whole lot: Liefeld can't draw guns worth for shit.
Seriously, as far as I can remember, every gun he's ever drawn looks like it was stolen from Marvin the Martian. Every gun is this weird silver rectangle thing or circle thing that looks like something rejected by Nerf. All the guns (look here
◊) either have multiple useless barrels or no barrels whatsoever, but either way they get this weird futuristic glow. Are they all supposed to be laser blasters, or is that giving him too much credit?
And then you have this
◊ gun, which astounds me. It never looks like it fires actual bullets, so why the holy hell does it have two bullet clips?
Even the attempts at realistic guns like here
◊ just look bad. The thing is so hilarious undetailed it looks like a cheap knock-off of a cheap knock-off of a model toy gun.
I'm sorry if I'm ranting. It's just that Liefeld's made his career off creating gun-toting Rambos, yet I don't think he's even seen a gun before.
Also, he doesn't understand how swords work, and draws them basically bent.
I'm sure these have been posted already, but they're still funny, so here's the 40 worst Liefeld drawings
and 40 MORE of the worst Liefeld drawings.
For examples of how Liefeld just does not know how to draw.

Oh god, now I'm imagining Rob Liefeld as a door-to-door salesman.
"Hello, sir. Would you be interested in buying a Liefeld(TM) Laser Blaster?"
Hey, speaking of swords, just noticed something about the way Liefeld draws them: You know how they say that every line on a human face adds a year to his age? Same thing for a blade. Liefeld, putting shit-tons of lines on your swords doesn't make them look sharp and cutting edge. It makes them look so cracked they'd disintegrate with a gentle breeze.

Woody Harrelson as Eric Larsen?
