    There is a valuable point,....it's probably wise to dwell on something else rather than a heavily outdated issue among the fanbase.

    Not to be a troll or an ass, but I think long ago Leifield got the point that he's hated among the comic fanbase (which I believe he doesn't care), which also brings me to wonder what was the point on somebody posting another Leifeld-hate forum. To me it makes as much sense as somebody beating a dead horse.

    I'm not backing the point of the OP, I'm simply pointing out beating a dead horse and posting in a topic that you don't care about is technically the same thing. Neither one serves a purpose.

    To be fair, he did create a lot of fairly popular characters, but he just doesn't know what to do with them most of the time. I don't like the guy much, but I could understand why he's still getting work.

    He has his own company, original characters, and a ton of cash from when back in the 90's Image sold a million copies of any #1 issue they came out with. I would never hire him for even pin-up work but he has his fans.

    He has no understanding of the anatomy. The faces he drew look very generic. Even though he sucks as an artist and story teller, I think a lot of people who hate him are just bandwagon-jumping.

    Honestly, I don't know, he's not a good writer, or artist, the fans don't like him, he KNOWS they don't like him, yet keeps on doing it anyway, he's like the Bill O'Riley of comics.
