Ears AND feet. Well I am surprised.

Ugh. Looks awful. Why does Marvel keep giving this guy work? ;/

Next he'll have to draw them on the same person.

life-long-learning rules, go Liefeld.

But he's just reversed the... but...

ARGH

Why (to re-iterate) do they keep giving him work???

Her fist's positions would mean her wrists were broken (hence the grimacing I suppose) the arm furthest from us would have it's elbow in the wrong place on her arm and where exactly does the floor meet the wall?

Standing right on top of Steve's croch. No wonder he has a grimace on his face as he pretends to be knocked out.

If you don't like the covers, don't buy them, they're variants. But enough people obviously do like them to make it worth Marvel's while--Rob Liefeld still sells. And from an objective standpoint, he's improved a lot over the years, working to correct some of the more glaring flaws, and over the past year he's proven that he can be one of the most consistent artists in the industry, putting out a monthly title while still working on other projects. That's actually pretty impressive.

The inclusion of Moon Knight on that second cover seems like an afterthought.

**BigEvilRobot** · 11-02-2010, 11:42 AM

And by stunning, they mean it's stunning that he still gets work and has learned to draw feet and women that are almost kinda sorta in proportion.

Still, when he does put some effort into things, they do look pretty ok.

It wouldn't be a day on CBR without a thread devoted to complaining about a variant cover.

Still sells what? Yes he's been consistent, he's been bloody awful for 20+ years THAT'S consistent. As for 'improvement' getting a new art package for your apple isn't improving your own skills.

OH and while were at it, he gets paid for this. Think about that. In fact think about all those variant covers out there. Now think about that cover price.

Best quote I heard about Liefield is on this page

Here's the qoote:

"He has on a backwards cap, and when he turns it around, it's still backwards."
