Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
Just search for "valiantComics" or "robleifeld" and anything mentioning either will pop up. Valiant is retweeting most of it themselves.400yrs wrote:I follow Warren and Valiant on twitter, but how in the hell do you make sense of twitter wars? Is there somewhere I need to click to get everythin in context between larry, liefeld, warren and everyone else?
I don't get it. Me feel old and worfless.

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
Nice to see Valiant taking the high road in all of this:
Oh and between Robs "10 books" he keeps mentioning, what's the over-under on how many of those are cancelled before the Summer of Valiant wraps?“@ValiantComics: @robertliefeld have to say, we're all loving the new prophet in the office. Last issue was the best yet.”

And pouches. Yes, I know you mentioned it, but more pouches. A pouch belt around every thigh. You see, the more pouches a character has, the more invincible he is.xodacia81 wrote:Rob wouldn't understand XO. There's no light draft beer, white powders, floozies, grins with SHEETS of teeth, bulging biceps that defy the laws of gravity, men with boobs, pouches and guns bigger than the pentagon.

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
Yeah, and according to one of his tweets he's at his kids baseball practice right now. Real bang-up parenting there Rob I wish I could divide my attention between typing 150 tweets and supporting my son as he participate in his passion.Crow331 wrote:I can't keep up with Rob ... here is the direct link to his nonsense on Twitter

How do you support at baseball practice? If you say anything at all, you'll just embarass the kid.

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
What is that about??? Is that true??robertliefeld Just had 2 more retailers tell me Valiant deal of order 200 copies we will re-imburse you for 175 PAYOLA. I did my term paper on PAYOLA.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Hell, I don't even text. See, I have a special cell phone. It allows me to actually hear the voice of someone on another cell phone, and they can hear mine. So when I want to exchange information with someone, I just talk to them. What will they think of next?

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
Yeah, Rob's just being *SQUEE* at this point. It's pretty obvious that there are some peeps (me included) buying a bunch of these for our own reasons. Do I think issue #2 is going to be 42K+? hell no. However, I do think that issue 14 damn well may be.

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
With the various retailers and others in the know floating around these boards, you would think something like that would have gotten out already. Doesn't make any sense...Valiant is a start up, why would they throw money away like that...?Heath wrote:What is that about???

Rob is maybe having a bad day, or angry about something we may not know the details of. He's being a d!ck, right now. I get it.
The only thing the dude is guilty of is drawing dudes with big guns, chicks with little waists and being more enthusiastic about his own work that anyone I've ever seen. Not a weasel or worm. Paradise has even gone to his defense.
Opinionated? Oh yeah.
Foul? No.

His own business partners would beg to differ bro. Dude has a history of weasle-like-worm-ways.

How have I never seen this quote before?
Peter David responded to Liefeld's 1996 work on the "Heroes Reborn" Captain America by proclaiming Liefeld the "Ed Wood of comics"

Re: Is Rob Liefeld calling BS on the Valiant sales numbers?
Yeah I read his Wikipedia page a little while ago. Wow! I knew he had been kicked out of Image but I didn't know what for? There was no internet back then to read all the juicy gossip. How on Earth did he ever get back in???
