    My main beef with Liefield is that his tryhard edgy “what if everyone grimacing with goofy guns and goofy knives” thing started to effectively dominate the comic book zeitgeist for years. Was exhausting.

      Yeah I can see how that would be annoying. My only experience of his work is people dunking on him. Although I’ve read those two very famous internet posts breaking down all his very worst offences, my immediate impression was how the proportions in his drawings reminded me of post WW1 modern art.

      For whatever reason I liked the impressions his artwork gives. Although in many cases I can agree that it is lazy and looks bad.
