>Hollywood Reporter - The writer-artist behind the antihero has parlayed interest in the character into big deals with studios looking for the next Deadpool. As one producer notes: “He is the most successful comic book creator with the least things actually made."

>The writer-artist behind the antihero has parlayed interest in the character into big deals with studios looking for the next Deadpool. As one producer notes: “He is the most successful comic book creator with the least things actually made."

>In April, ahead of Deadpool’s July opening, Warner Bros. picked up the rights to Avengelyne, based on a fallen angel character cast down to Earth comic from the 1990s. The A-list package has Olivia Wilde attached to direct and Margot Robbie and Simon Kinberg attached to produce. That deal involved a $2 million payday for Liefeld for the purchase price, according to multiple sources. And while it was a sign of how strongly Warners wanted to remain in the Robbie business after last year’s Barbie, having a comic by Liefeld gave the package extra heft.

>Then in October, Liefeld accomplished something that had escaped him for decades: securing the movie and publishing rights to Youngblood under one roof. It was a personal victory, as it was the very first comic published by Image Comics, the company Liefeld co-founded with other superstar artists who defected from Marvel in the early 1990s.

>To make the deal, Liefeld made peace with Scott M. Rosenberg, a publisher and producer whose claim to fame was turning an obscure black and white indie comic titled Men in Black into a hit Will Smith movie. Rosenberg also held certain rights to Young Blood creations, a point that bedeviled Liefeld for years. With that issue settled, Liefeld and Rosenberg then teamed with producer Adrian Askarieh to begin setting up the IP. The trio took meetings at CAA, WME, UTA and Range Media in October, hyping the title as the last great superhero comic that isn’t taken. The trio ultimately signed with CAA for the endeavor.

>Those two developments are on top of the royalties Liefeld enjoys from the surge of Deadpool’s popularity. Liefeld has a deal unique among creators of Marvel and DC characters. Some enjoy royalties for certain books or receive discretionary bonuses for movie or TV usage from the companies (Marvel pays some creators $5,000 for character’s a movie appearance, for example). But Liefeld receives payment any time Deadpool appears onscreen, in merch, in video games and in comics. It’s a deal that not even Stan Lee, the late co-creator of Spider-Man and Iron Man, benefited from. Nor Jim Starlin, co-creator of Thanos, Gamora and Shang-Chi, or Todd McFarlane, co-creator of Venom.

>“When Deadpool exploded into Fortnite, was that really good for my kids’ private education? Yes. Yes, it was,” he told Gizmodo in an 2020 interview. “I have Deadpool revenue streams that have existed since 1991.”

>In some ways, 2024 is an unlikely third act for Liefeld. Liefeld burst onto the comics scene as a wunderkind creator, only in his early 20s when he led the Marvel comic New Mutants from a low-selling title on the verge of cancelation to revitalizing it in such a way that when it was relaunched over a year later as X-Force, the first issue sold a record four million copies. Deadpool proved enduringly popular, especially after Liefeld left with other Marvel creators in 1992 to launch Image.

>And while Liefeld flooded the comic racks with creations, his tenure at Image was short-lived. By 1996, he contentiously parted ways with the publishing house and his partners. But while his comic and artistic fortunes sagged, his Hollywood life began.

>After a New Line deal for Avengelyne in the mid-‘90s, more followed. Few involved an actual published comic. In 1998, an action concept The Mark was set up in a seven-figure deal at Universal with Will Smith attached to star and Steven Spielberg eying to direct.

>>146747065
>It is likely that Liefeld has made between $10 million to $20 million off his creations and reputation as Deadpool’s co-creator, making him the most financially successful American comic artist or writer.

The Avengelyne IP is a shoe-in for Robbie, it's a smart move. Female Deadpool like Harley, but with her producing and raking in the dough. The broad strokes of the concept are enough for her and Wilde to make it thier own. Fourth wall breaking feminist fantasy action with some T and A for the lads $$

>>146747270
it's just parlaying what you're known for.

I think 'Lyne and Youngblood are great comics. Well, maybe not great, but (somehow) they both did adaptations of the book of Revelations from the Bible (Avengelyne Armageddon and Extreme Sacrifice) and it would be cool as fuck to see that in a movie.

>>146749540
Yeah, the maskless appearance and powers seem added so he can claim to have invented everything about the character to fuck over Fabian Nicienza over an creator credit. But why add in Shatterstar sketches? Do you think he did that to add to the sketch book nature or do you think he recreated his original sketches but colored in the DPs? Because his entire idea for Deadpool was "Deathstroke but Marvel."

If this were true he wouldn’t be in the position of even having the power to fuck him over. Fabian never cared about “credit” for Deadpool (because he knew he didn’t deserve any) until he got a movie. Funny how that works.

If you play your cards right, you can use your name being linked to a brand for a lot of things.
I have a friend who did one or two DC comics backups. Not full issues, just try-out short stories.
But because he's done DC stories, he's been able to work that into getting teaching gigs, seminars, tables at cons,and more. Rob has his name attached to a character that sold millions in a movie, so people are willing to toss him money for the chance, even if it's unlikely.

Liefield is the definition of SOUL. You can tell he puts his passion into everything he does, so people can overlook the technical flaws. He's the opposite of mass-produced committee-designed "safe" media.

>>146750282
I love Rob but everything he does - doing extremely small print runs of his new comics, always introducing a new character every issue so that it's sought by speculators, never having more than three panels so that the original art will be worth more to collectors, creating NFT comics, only publishing new issues of whatever is getting a movie - ALL of it is cold calculation to get money, not "passion".

Not in the same way, and not at the big two. It seems to me like writers have really overtaken artists as the celebrity creatives involved with comics since the early 2000s, at least. And "house style" seems a lot more important to publishers now than it was back in the 80s and 90s. You rarely see interesting, stylized art in modern monthlies anymore.
>>
>>146749327
Nobody fucking cares about Avenglyne, and we both know it.

>But-
No shut up. SHUT UP. Even Bloodrayne has porn. A tiny amount of porn compared to Vampirella and that one illustrator who's declared her his unofficial waifu, but she has multiple pages. Avengyle has 4 fucking images, most of which are edits. That's how little she matters. Not even the porn artists care.

NO ONE is seeing these superhero movies anymore and the one or two exceptions are just that. They're wasting their time, money, and resources by making these things.

I'd say way more stylized and cartoony art is in comics these days. Whether it's appealing or good is another story. but it's out there

You don't have to care about her. Just don't make shit up.

Literally every superhero movie released this year is within the top 35 movies(out of hundreds and hundreds) in sales worldwide. And that's only because Madame web, despite being shat on and a bomb, still his 34. The next one below is Joker 2, despite being shit on and being called garbage and made to insult the audience..still hit 20.
Its still, somehow, a more sure bet to make them than many other movies.

You over copied most of the article and omit the last part where Rub tried to sell his ass to Netflix but didn't know high enough people (or more accurately, whomever is his manager or agent doesn't know enough of the higher ups at NF).

Also, you left out the parts about the goatlicker and the Other Great Men, although his success is based on the zombies and even though it's a comic, the great unwashed don't think of it as a comic. Invinciboy has gotten a better boost in sales, proportionally, than TWD did ever did with normies.

>>146751412
You do understand that most movies never made more than a few hundred thousand or go straight to streaming (now) like they used to go straight to syndication or home video. Even being in the top ten for the past five years (post 2019) is much less meaningless now than it was in the previous decades past due to the lack of product, the lack of studio productions and the lack of widescreen roll outs.

I know you desperately want to believe that Deadpool only got popular because of the Joe Kelly run, so you can pretend Liefeld had nothing to do with him getting popular, but he was popular from Day One. He wouldn't have got two minis then an ongoing if he wasn't already popular.

Deadpool made his debut in the same issue as Domino and Gideon, he was meant to be the least important of the three, but Marvel got a lot of fan demand to bring him back immediately.

This is just cope. Characters don't take off if they don't have a strong visual design, and Nicieza wasn't really "writing" the book, he was just scripting dialogue and narration to the stories Rob drew. If all there was to Deadpool's appeal was Nicieza writing some snappy dialogue for him, a lot of other characters from the same run would have taken off in the same way, but they didn't.

It's not just Avengelyne in that situation, most of the 90s Image and Image-adjacent heroines have very little lewd art because that era of comics was coming to an end just as the internet era was taking off, by the time a real comic porn art community started to come together, Witchblade and Fairchild were about the only Image heroines who were still being published and still popular and relevant, so there aren't many others who even have double digits of images, and the small number of pics that exist are ancient, and small, low-resolution images by modern standards. It's basically the same for any other characters who used to be popular in earlier decades but haven't really had any new material produced since. Vampirella and Bloodrayne aren't really fair comparisons, as Vampirella comics kept being made, the fandom has endured, while Bloodrayne is from the 2000s, the porn artist community was there ready and waiting for her when she was created, even if she ended up just being a flavor of the month.

Most attempted relaunches for 90s Image characters never really recaptured what was appealing about them in the first place, so it's no surprise the relaunches didn't inspire a lot of fan-art. Be thankful for what little they did get, that someone cared enough about them.

When people say Todd is an asshole, it's usually because he had a habbit of offering artists who worked for other Image studios better deals, basically employee poaching. Which is kinda bad to do to your friends..but really did help out a lot of people. It's a matter of perspective.
>>
>>146760772
No, not really. It's because of things like stealing Gaiman's characters from him, using AI in his products, looking like a manchild in his debate against Peter David, not writing or drawing 90% of his comic and then claiming he beat Cerebus's record, etc.
>>
>>146761480

>>
>>146761638
Oh. In that case, yeah, that might be a fair assessment of Rob. Personally, I think after a hatedom formed around him, it rubbed people the wrong way that he kept being cheerful and never tried to improve his drawing skills. The thing is, if you sit down and read his damn comics you get why they're fun in a retarded way and you don't want him to change either.

Motherfucker can write though. Liefeld was never a strong writer, just an exciting artist whose style was right place - right time. As a child, I first heard of him because of his ad for jeans. It was a movement of hip young gentiles as opposed to the fat old Jews who were associated with comics.

His father was a preacher, and seemingly a really good dude. It's a formative part of his upbringing, and his interest in the biblical stories really sort of contributed to his love of narrative at all, before or at least along with the comics of his youth.

I actually respect Rob a little. I think the hate he gets for his art is overblown.
While there's many a piece to point to, many missing shoes etc and he didn't really improve much and arguably got worse at some point over the years.
I do respect the grind from someone who is middle of the pack, propped up by an aging style. When you think about it he's really no worse than JRjr.

The turning point for me when I stopped dismissing him as >liefeld had to be this after the nu 52: >>146760541
It really showed just how much of a grinder he was, he was doing pencil & inks on a tight deadline and yeah his art was fucking awful on the comic but I thought what if he'd had time, if they'd employed an inker who didn't have to do the job behind the wheel of an SUV. Yeah, it'd still be mediocre but when you get down to it: he has a style, and a good inker & colourist can make it shine or they can relegate it to trash. In a way he's like Quitely.

Best of all? He did it throughout the hate. When comic forums turned on him. When Linkara the chaser wiki reader would shit on him. He kept his nose down and he grinded. He never improved, but he was still working. Gotta respect a man like that.
I think he's the Nick Cage of comics. Give him the right thing and he'll shine.
Rob Liefeld needs a good Wild At Heart. He just never got that magic collaborator.

People were new, they didn't get he was reading from wikipedia pages and summaries.
If people had caught on fast enough and infiltrated his circle, they could have edited articles ahead of his videos.

sad!

How does he get around Comic's notorious royalties problem? Most comic creators, even legendary ones, struggle to pay the bills, let alone make millions.

I miss Extreme's energy more than anything.

In the late 80's and early 90's, the artists were really selling the comics. This gave them some more leeway that they didn't have in other times.
>>
>>146764600
It... didn't go anywhere? Liefeld released Last Blood this year and Image is publishing Blood Squad Seven.

90% of the problem here is the colorist creating a bulge not intended by Liefeld.

There's a lot of revisionism these days but Deadpool didn't "take off" until arguably Cable and Deadpool

Kelly's run had a cult following but if Nicieza hadn't done a non-sequitor about chimichangas that Daniel Way ran with and the internet memed into success that character would be on a lower level than Gambit

tldr Deadpool lives and dies on dialogue
>>
>>146762676
I think part of it is because of how many people get screwed. Does Rob not deserve his success or is it more so that others were denied there's?
>>
>>146761656
>The thing is, if you sit down and read his damn comics you get why they're fun in a retarded way and you don't want him to change either.

They’re not fun though. They’re repetitive and boring while offering any actual value

>>146761983
>bro, bro. Come and write for me, the defender of creator rights. I will not betray you unlike Marvel or DC, you get to own the characters you create
>LOL fuck you I didn’t actually mean it

Yeah, no. Todd was a fucking lying dipshit and even tried to be a sleazy fuck by attempting to circumvent the copyright of characters by making blatant ripoffs.

>When you think about it he's really no worse than JRjr.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. No, he is worse than John Ramita Junior. Not even close.
>>
>>146762676
JRJR is actually a good artist, unlike Rob. He is also someone who knows how to meet deadlines, and that’s why his work isn’t always polished. Because the job is to put out the comic on time, not to scrutinise and work every panel to perfection.
>>
>>146747024
He's the proof that you don't need talent to be successful, you just need good ideas.

Being an idea guy is more important than being a good artist.
>>
>>146769661
What are his good ideas, tho?
>Deathstroke but different colors
>Teen Titans but edgy
>Wolverine but no claws
>Pouches and Shoulder pads
>Superman but white hair

Forgot Domino?

>>146769707
I did, because she is just one in a nearly endless list of TnA characters from x books in the late 80s/90s that are utterly interchangable in my head.
>>
>>146762676
but why couldn't he improve? he's rich he can take classes. private classes.

why not improve? I don't get it.
>>
>>146769318
>JRJR is actually a good artist
Nah, he got Akira Toriyama syndrome. Should have retired and not dragged his father's good name through the muck.
>>
>>146769854
Why should he change a formula that people like and gives him millions because Tumblr likes to whine? I don't get it.

You don't need to have a kneejerk reaction to everything.

>Mario is Popeye with a moustache
>Link is Peter Pan with a sword
>Mega Man is Astro Boy with a helmet
>Sonic is Mickey with spikes
What’s your point? “Ideas” mean nothing.
>>
>>146771099
>What’s your point?
I think it's pretty clear if you read his post. He's replying to a guy saying Rob was a great idea man asking what are his good ideas.
>>
>>146770845
>formula that people like

They like it same way people like kitsch.

>>146771205
Speak for yourself. I like his comics.
