Podcast appearances and mentions of Rob Liefeld

We've never fully delved into the artistic stylings of Rob Liefeld, but it's finally time to take the plunge. We look at his work on relaunching Captain America during Marvel's Heroes Reborn event in the 90s along with Jeph Loeb, and we find plenty of... interesting art choices to discuss.  We read the first 5-issue storyline as well as a 6th issue that perplexed us. Then we move onto Thunderbolts #16 which brings up a new mystery! Next Time: Celebrate the podcast's 10th anniversary with Top 10 #6-12!

A recently uncovered interview with John Byrne circa 1976 is the focus of today's episode. We go inside the thoughts and opinions of a young talent just starting to take off and contrast it with interviews years later as he is changing comics for the next decade.

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff are joined by the incredible Mike Slater (who is not only a great musician, but he actually recorded a theme song for THIS SPECIFIC EPISODE) as they finish their season on "Comic Origins" with Rob Liefeld's Youngblood.There's a lot to unpack about this significant comic series that may have kickstarted a market crash, so let's NOT string up our bow, copy a bunch of our own art and character designs, and put style WAY over substance, as we take a look at four issues that would change the landscape of comics forever and is also financially worthless. And, of course, don't forget to follow Mike (@slatron11) Dre (@nerdnumbers) and Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!AND CHECK OUT MIKESLATER.COM for more, including detailed show notes by our incredible guest, as well as Patreon.com/jeffmay for early access to shows like this and Jeff Has Cool Friends, and so much more!

Aimé et/ou détesté, Rob Liefeld reste un nom circulant encore aujourd'hui comme celui d'un artiste ayant marqué de son empreinte les années 90. Figurant parmi les fondateurs de Image Comics, il est à la fois victime de ses gimmicks et provocateur de diverses polémiques.Remarqué notamment par le succès colossal de son premier numéro de X-Force chez Marvel, on distingue facilement au sein de sa carrière une influence de plus en plus forte concernant les mutants.Plus que quelques simples productions, nous allons revenir avec Chris (de la chaîne Comixrays) sur le parcours de Rob Liefeld en essayant (tant bien que mal ?) de comprendre les raisons du succès de cet artiste controversé.Comics Pick est un podcast indépendant.Si cette émission vous a plu, vous pouvez nous soutenir en partageant l'émission sur les réseaux.Retrouvez nous sur les réseaux linktr.ee/comicsstuffUn grand merci à vous tous pour le soutien que vous manifestez pour l'émission. On se retrouve le mois prochain pour un nouvel épisode !

This issue marks the first appearance of the eerie and brilliant telepathic sisters who would go on to become fan favorites — think “Mean Girls” meets “Cerebro.” Also introduced are the U-Men, and a VERY iconic Emma Frost scene! And YES — we finally discuss the Nemesis wave Marvel Legends!

On the occasion of Image Comics and Youngblood's 33rd anniversary, we use The Official Timeline Of Image Comics for a look back at the early, formative times that shaped the indie powerhouse! Go behind the scenes of the great pop culture revolution! 

Every industry has a Game-Changer, an individual who's impact goes way beyond the biz, affecting the entire culture. I've settled on the biggest Free Agent move in comic books the last 50 years, a change-up that shifted the fortunes for an entire company and set them on a course that carries them to this day. 

Just What The Hell Is Going On?? Bundles! Party Packs! Deep discounts, phony numbers, empty release windows! We examine the crazed current state of comics and movies! 

We're finishing up the back half of Secret Wars II with issues #6-9. So far, we haven't been very impressed with The Beyonder and his antics on Earth, but will his cool new "Thriller" vest help matters at all? Thankfully the Molecule Man takes center stage to give us something to latch on to. Then, the Thunderbolts are back on Earth in issue #15, and they've gotta figure out how to live life on the run. Next Time: Captain America (1996) #1-6 by Rob Liefeld

Case and Jmike are joined by Micah McCaw to assess the Symbolism Supreme in Alan Moore's Supreme Story of the Year.   Overview   In episode 141 of the Men of Steel podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Micah McCaw, delve into Alan Moore's influential 12-issue run on Supreme, titled "Supreme: The Story of the Year." They highlight the comic's groundbreaking nature upon its release in the mid-90s, reimagining Supreme—a character initially created by Rob Liefeld and akin to Superman—by incorporating innovative storytelling techniques, such as in-universe “revisions” of the character and comments on comic book history. The discussion spans various aspects of the series, including its artistic evolution through different illustrators and the provocative themes surrounding superhero relationships and villains. Notably, the podcast emphasizes Moore's ability to blend humor with meta-narrative elements while maintaining continuity amidst complex plotlines, ultimately positioning Supreme as a celebrated reconstruction of traditional superhero narratives. As the hosts reflect on its significance, they recommend further explorations of Moore's work, ensuring listeners are left with a comprehensive appreciation for the series and its impact on the comic book landscape.   Notes Introduction to Supreme (00:50 - 11:43) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Micah McCaw The episode discusses Alan Moore's 12-issue run on Supreme, also known as 'Supreme: The Story of the Year' The comic was published in 1995-1996 and was considered groundbreaking at the time Supreme is described as a thinly veiled Superman analog with similar powers and characteristics The hosts discuss how the book remained cutting edge for 20 years but now feels more commonplace ‍️ History of Supreme (11:43 - 25:55) Supreme was originally created by Rob Liefeld as part of Image Comics' launch Before Alan Moore, Supreme was an amoral, extremely powerful character (a Superman analog) Moore took over with issue #41 and completely reimagined the character The comic features regular flashbacks to different eras of comics, parodying Superman's timeline The art style shifts between contemporary and classic/retro depending on the time period shown Art and Creative Teams (25:55 - 35:04) Joe Bennett was the main artist, who would later work on Immortal Hulk Rick Veitch created the flashback sequences with distinct period-appropriate art styles Chris Sprouse joins as artist later in the run (only one issue in this collection) Alex Ross created promotional art and cover designs for Supreme The hosts note that the art quality is inconsistent throughout the series The Revision Concept (35:04 - 45:50) The comic introduces 'revisions' -
