Very common if you think about, Todd’s pushed nose proportions and Jim’s genetically inspired eyes and Eric’s added fin etc etc the list goes, at least some of new guys are in love with the manga look, but everything gets old including yourself.
I was a teen in that era (had been reading at that point for about a decade) and had long given up on the New Mutants. Liefeld brought new life into the series.
Rob Liefeld was a super intresting guest, I hope he'll be back. Since Ron Lim was mentioned on this interview, I would love to see you guys interview him as well, to me he feels a bit underrated these days, even though he is still great artist.
I loved Bret Blevins and his take on the New Mutants. Rob is pretty cool, and i respect what he did, and sure Louise Simonson didn’t always write my favorite stories but whatever man…she wrote Cypher dying and that had some emotional weight to it. I enjoyed this interview by the way. Thanks!
@@TitularHeroine I agree, how it occurred to him to make his superman. Well, and most importantly, how did he manage to persuade Alan Moore to write this comic
This was just straight fire. Rob is a treasure. Not only was Blevins not a good fit for New Mutants but neither was Loise Simonson. Her X-Factor run was just far superior imo.
I wanted a MLF mini-series or series so bad. I bought every comic they appeared in for 10 years after this issue. I did the same for the OG Marauders for 15 or so years. I’m a huge sucker for villain teams.
A lot of people make fun of those characters, but I've always thought they were so awesome. And I'm speaking as a guy that definitely finds most of the Youngblood characters really underwhelming.
Good to hear the praise for Bob Waicek. A nice guy and good inker. You could do whole shows on artwork that "disappeared" from the DC and Marvel offices. Lots of sticky fingers...
Love it! Rob definitely has his limitations as an artist, and for that I think he's always had a massive chip on his shoulder. He was a supernova of his time. He's Limp Bizkit times 10. Which isn't a bad thing by any stretch. Comics are supposed to be fun and Rob is the epitome of dumb fun
Stryfe also got Marvel legends action figure most recently and in 2014, Hasbro guys even consider making his helmet replica, they even showed prototype of it. So that very first Stryfe figure really did make impression.
liefeld is my favorite guest. you guys have awesome chemistry. please do some kind of overview of all his work with him! it’s so hard to figure out all the comics he’s done. i always find new stuff by him lol.
Rob got me into comic books. I was a fan of Toxic Avenger movies. I picked up a Marvel Toxic Avenger comic book. My mother assumed I was into all comic books so she bought a three pack of comics for me. X-Force #1 was in that pack. Rob's X-Force turned me on to super hero comics.
I remember when those first Liefeld New Mutants books came out, being an X-Men fan and following all the X-books at the time. I didn't catch #87 when it was on the rack, because New Mutants weren't really my fav, despite having about 20 issues or so kickin' around. Once Rob took over, it was definitely a lot more interesting, and the hype was palpable. Between him, Todd, and Jim Lee, there was definitely a new edge and look that made 15-year-olds like me become even more obsessive with the books. I remember when Deadpool appeared, and I thought he was a neat character, but I didn't think he'd be anywhere near as big as he is today. Anyway, it was a good time to be reading comics. In recent years, I lost my footing with the titles that I used to care about, and I rarely go to the comics store. This channel is great and it's nice to hear Rob shooting on everything. Even though his anatomy and faces are grating, he's still a legend and he created a lot of really cool characters.
He hates when people say that. He always fires back saying he had to retouch those inks. That line about Todd inking him until HE DECIDED Todd couldn’t was his pushback here. He constantly shits on Jim Lee on his podcasts.
To further attest to his disdain for Birdbrain, when was the last time beyond 1986-87 that anybody clamored for the return of Birdbrain? They'd probably sooner beg for Chuck Austen to come back onto X-MEN first.
I would love to see an HBO Max film following a young Robby Liefeld’s rise to power. It’s insane to think about how much he accomplished at such an early age! Get Danny McBride/Jody Hill to write, produce and direct! Long Live LIEFELD!
I wonder if Todd ever properly apologized to Rob for all those cracks during that Lieber session, the mocking is a little too excessive to be anything but deeply personal, very sad. I liked it better when I thought Eric Larson might’ve been the Disney animator.
Many criticize him but watching this video it was evident the market dominance that Rob Liefield has, much of what he says since his arrival to the new mutants happens now in the x-men comics, all boring, pretty art but generic and soulless, stories with lukewarm arguments leaving the epic aside. Marvel's editorial approach has fallen far short of expectations.
I've just realised, Rob draws his own face on all his characters. The eyes, the nose, the philtrum space. They're all Rob.
that was the first thing i realized the moment i first saw his face. lol
Very common if you think about, Todd’s pushed nose proportions and Jim’s genetically inspired eyes and Eric’s added fin etc etc the list goes, at least some of new guys are in love with the manga look, but everything gets old including yourself.
I f-ing loved this. Rob's heart is as large as Cable's head was small. Excited for part 2.
Uncle Rob's Todd impression is something I cannot Unhear. It's simply Perfect.
It’s busting me up
Ed and Jim you need to come out to SDCC in 24.
Damn this interview was straight gold...we need that competitive attitude back into the comics again...steel sharpen steel!!
Whenever I'm feeling lethargic, I just need to put on a Rob Liefeld interview. Better boost than a dozen energy drinks.
His podcast is that for me, he goes crazy nuts like this and every now and then I just need it lol
He's really on point with that Todd impression lol.
After this I'm kinda convinced Liefeld may just be the Ultimate Warrior of comics...
Rob doing Todd's voice is just killing me. Love him on this show
He sure is excited. Very Very excited.
The Bird Brain rant killed me
I was a teen in that era (had been reading at that point for about a decade) and had long given up on the New Mutants. Liefeld brought new life into the series.
After all these years I find out Jim Salicrup sounds like Snagglepuss. This was time very, very well spent.
2 minutes in and Rob's McFarlane impression is KILLING MEEEEE LMAOOOO
Rob Liefeld was a super intresting guest, I hope he'll be back. Since Ron Lim was mentioned on this interview, I would love to see you guys interview him as well, to me he feels a bit underrated these days, even though he is still great artist.

Love Liefeld’s energy and those New Mutants issues. I wonder what you guys think of the Igor Kordy Cable/Soldier X work
Always love when you guys have Liefeld on. His energy and enthusiasm are intense, and he seems like a pretty friendly dude.
He sure does! He always seen to me like a great guy, but also somebody who may get upset with you pretty easily and hold to that haha.
Will there be another video with Rob? very interesting to know about his other works, supreme, bloodstrike and other original works
@@TitularHeroine I agree, how it occurred to him to make his superman. Well, and most importantly, how did he manage to persuade Alan Moore to write this comic
@@AndrewBochanski I hope so, Moore’s Supreme is one of my favorite comics and I’d love some behind the scenes on it
Rob the walking promo
I was trying to find a nice way to express my feelings on Leifeld's interview. This was well said.
This was just straight fire. Rob is a treasure. Not only was Blevins not a good fit for New Mutants but neither was Loise Simonson. Her X-Factor run was just far superior imo.
I wanted a MLF mini-series or series so bad. I bought every comic they appeared in for 10 years after this issue. I did the same for the OG Marauders for 15 or so years. I’m a huge sucker for villain teams.
Heck yeah. MLF is the Truth!

Robs enthusiasm is awesome!
Rob really loves comics. You can tell
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
13:00 LOL, Rob Liefeld in old man glasses!
rob talks the way he draws, in a good way
Stryfe also got Marvel legends action figure most recently and in 2014, Hasbro guys even consider making his helmet replica, they even showed prototype of it. So that very first Stryfe figure really did make impression.
Caw! Caw! Cracked me up! His Toddster imitation is awesome
Mad props to you guys. You respect your guests that s always a plus
When you're right, you're right. Rob is spot-on with his assessment of that Bird Brain. That character is the drizzling shits. LOL
Love Rob Liefeld!
An absolute force of nature...
📢Talk that talk Rob!🤣🤣🤣
Awesome conversation!! Thanks for sharing!! 🔥🔥
Cable is rad. Rob’s best creation. Loved how he sat in between Magneto and Prof X.
liefeld is my favorite guest. you guys have awesome chemistry. please do some kind of overview of all his work with him! it’s so hard to figure out all the comics he’s done. i always find new stuff by him lol.
Hated Rob on the New Mutants but I loved him on X-Force, always wondered if Feral's personality was based on Beetlejuice.
Rob got me into comic books. I was a fan of Toxic Avenger movies. I picked up a Marvel Toxic Avenger comic book. My mother assumed I was into all comic books so she bought a three pack of comics for me. X-Force #1 was in that pack.

This is the collab that I’ve been waiting for!! Love it!!!
Great interview!
I love Robs Todd M impersonations
I'd love to hear Rob as Todd having a convo with Todd
Hearing Uncle Lie talk about those days, it's still amazing to hear. What a time
When Todd inks Rob...its magic.
He hates when people say that. He always fires back saying he had to retouch those inks. That line about Todd inking him until HE DECIDED Todd couldn’t was his pushback here. He constantly shits on Jim Lee on his podcasts.
To paraphrase that, "When Image founders inks Rob... it's magic."
16:37 Come on, Rob - if there's a place where people love you genuinely is at the CK campgrounds..!
7:40 Oooh, Fabio!
Awesome to hear Rob so excited.
I learned about Rob with
Hawk and Dove at DC...Exciting Work!
I take a cup of the coffee Little Robby Leifeld's been drinking. The man's loquacious.
To further attest to his disdain for Birdbrain, when was the last time beyond 1986-87 that anybody clamored for the return of Birdbrain? They'd probably sooner beg for Chuck Austen to come back onto X-MEN first.
That McFarlane impression killed me dead.
I would love to see an HBO Max film following a young Robby Liefeld’s rise to power. It’s insane to think about how much he accomplished at such an early age! Get Danny McBride/Jody Hill to write, produce and direct! Long Live LIEFELD!
Cable is one of my top 5 fav Marvel dudes, cheers
Ed and Jim you need to go to SDCC in 24.
I would love a TV show about the Image guys!
Insane that no streaming service is doing that!
Good show ❤
So, Rob based Rictor's face on that cover on his own, right?
when he dials it down, I'm really hanging on his every word
Loved this , great to see rob on the show again
Uncle Rob is a fuckin rock star lol. God bless 90s success.
why are his tod impressions so funny?? He scrunches his face so weird lol
His podcast is great, Robservations. You can tell he still has a lot of enthusiasm for the medium. That or he does a lot of coke. Lol.
Amazing job as always CK! Thank you so much! ❤ Say what you will about him, but God bless Rob Liefeld!
He sounds more like Todd than Todd
Liefeld is such a entertaining storyteller 😅
Rob is a talker, reminds me of my dad.
Rob is in rare form during this video.
Rob Liefeld the legend and rock star!
I’m convinced Rob needs an intervention.
Rob reminds me of Tommy Lee on cocaine. 😂
I wonder if Todd ever properly apologized to Rob for all those cracks during that Lieber session, the mocking is a little too excessive to be anything but deeply personal, very sad. I liked it better when I thought Eric Larson might’ve been the Disney animator.
Todd Gottfried? Wtf 😆
I've loved and followed Liefeld from the very beginning...but this is like watching Ray Liotta trying to get the babysitter to the airport
Great Great Great 💥🔥👍💥🔥👍

Man I love the episodes with Liefeld! Maybe it’s because of nostalgia or even his enthusiasm or maybe I don’t give a £;@# why but I love ‘em!
Smash the likes unless ur a doosh
Liefeld’s Alpha Flight would’ve been epic.
