Podcast appearances and mentions of Rob Liefeld

It's Christmas time, so we're going back to 1994 to read the Christmas special from Rob Liefeld's Image imprint! Troll has got to find the 12 gifts from "The 12 Days of Christmas" -- that sounds fun, right?We make our show on Zencastr, and you can too!

In 1992, Image Comics launched with an all-star lineup full of Hot Dog touchstones like Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, and Exploding Fred. We'll let 1900HOTDOG's very own Rusty Shackles tell you why this was his cursed media origin story, and we'll let Exploding Fred explain why it still matters today. Fred? Fred? Buddy? Ah, he exploded. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert will go to jail if you don't buy his book. I know what you're thinking... This is NOT the time to be a wise guy. BUY HIS BOOK. https://linktr.ee/killyourimaginaryfriendd

We're diving into Wiccan: Witches' Road by Wyatt Kennedy and artist Andy Pereira and breaking down Billy Kaplan's entire journey from Scarlet Witch's son to Emperor Hulkling's royal sorcerer. 

It’s episode number 501, so you know what that means: AN ALL JEANS EPISODE! The result is a 40-minute trip into madness that’s at least tangentially connected to denim. We begin with a look back at the famous and/or infamous button-fly Levi’s jeans commercial featuring Rob Liefeld and directed by Spike Lee, a real thing that happened. We debate button-fly vs. zipper, compare our personal experiences with social-media algorithms, and slip into some denim-related tangents. But what of our comics Jeans? Such as Jean Loring, who was put through the ringer in “Identity Crisis”, a superhero event mystery that does not make sense. And of course, Jean Grey, and we try to figure out if literally anyone in the Marvel Universe can defeat the Phoenix! Which superheroes and villains can pull off a costume with jeans, from Superman and the Superboys to Angar the Screamer, Jessica Jones, and even Conan the Barbarian? And just imagine Iron Man’s denim armour, the Mk. D! All this and Gene Colan, too! Direct Download: MP3

Total THB has always felt like a living piece of your imagination—something that evolved alongside you. Now that you're returning to it after thirty years, what does it mean to finally see it presented as the definitive version you always envisioned?7. In your introduction, you mention artists like Bruegel, Motherwell, and Rodin alongside Kirby, Moebius, and Miyazaki. That's a fascinating cross-section of influences—how do you see Total THB sitting at the intersection of those worlds now?2. In your introduction, you talk about the seed idea—“small things exploding into big things.” How has that core concept shaped your storytelling and visual philosophy across your entire career, and how does it feel to return to it now with decades of experience behind you?8. Total THB is set on a divided Mars, a world of art versus bureaucracy, chaos versus control. Given how global politics and culture have evolved since the '90s, do you see new relevance—or new warnings—in the story's setting and themes?5. The relationship between HR and THB—the sheltered daughter and her enigmatic bodyguard—feels both intimate and mythic. How do you see their dynamic now, and what new layers do you hope readers discover in this remastered edition?6. You've described superheroes before as modern myths — figures that blend pulp with poetry. Having moved between corporate superhero universes and your own creator-owned worlds, what do you think mainstream superhero comics could still learn from the spirit of self-publishing that birthed THB*?*

What was it like returning to the X-office — and what new creative muscles did you want to flex with this run?The title Unbreakable X-Men is powerful — it implies resilience, unity, maybe even defiance. What does “unbreakable” mean to you in the context of this particular team, and how does that theme shape the story's tone?Both Uncanny and Unbreakable highlight complex, emotionally rich women like Rogue. How do you approach writing these characters in ways that balance their vulnerability with their strength — especially amid the chaos of mutantkind's latest era?You've always had a gift for team dynamics — the humor, friction, and found-family energy that make an ensemble tick. What did you want to explore about the X-Men's internal relationships here, and are there any pairings (friendly or otherwise) you especially loved writing?The X-Men have always represented survival and identity, and your run lands during a moment when the franchise is reexamining what those mean. How do you see Unbreakable X-Men contributing to that larger conversation about legacy and what it means to be a mutant now?You've written some of comics' most beloved team books — from Birds of Prey (with an Omnibus out this week!) to Secret Six.

Rob Liefeld returns to the CBH podcast talking about Youngblood hitting its stride, Extreme Studios becomes a hothouse of new series: Brigade, Bloodstrike, and nearly two dozen more, all while he mentors rising talents Dan Fraga, Norm Rapmund and more. Mounting costs inside Image spark sharp discussions with Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and Mark Silvestri, nudging Liefeld to open Maximum Press for experiments like Battlestar Galactica and Avengelyne. He talks about his exit from Image and his stint on Marvel's Heroes  Reborn, where his Captain America made headlines amidst Marvel's bankruptcy. Recharged, he launches Awesome Comics, partners with Alan Moore for an Award‑winning Supreme, and joins Golden Age legend Joe Simon to shield Fighting American in court. A family walk through Greek ruins now feeds the mythic spark in Cable, Deadpool, and their Fortnite cameos. Royalties still arrive, proof that owning your stories keeps the dream alive, which is a lesson his friend Robert Kirkman echoes with Walking Dead and Invincible. #RobLiefeld #Youngblood #ExtremeStudios #ImageComics #CreatorRights #HeroesReborn #CaptainAmerica #MaximumPress #AlanMoore #Deadpool Support the show

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, get ready as I pull back the curtain on some of the most important moves happening on the global stage—and give you my unfiltered, no-nonsense take on what they really mean for you and the future. My co-host Drew and I tackle everything from Trump's headline-grabbing Middle East negotiations, to the true impact of $600 billion+ in U.S.-Saudi tech and infrastructure deals, to the double-edged sword of “commerce as a bridge” between clashing cultures. You'll hear why I think Trump's deal-making style is both captivating and dangerous, why trying to impose American values on foreign nations is a recipe for disaster, and how culture and economic incentives really shape the world. We dig deep into the nature of power, the hard limits of nation building, why price controls on prescription drugs are a political move (but not a real solution), and the uncomfortable historical realities behind immigration, assimilation, and global order. If you're looking to flag the lines between progress and peril—or just want to understand the real levers of influence behind today's biggest news—this is an episode you don't want to miss. I'm here to give you the tools to see past the spin, break down the real consequences, and make sense of the chaos so you can win in the world that's coming.
