Rob Liefeld Says The Infinite Is Over

1/22/2012

Folks who listen to the podcast have heard me talk about how much I've been digging Rob Liefeld's stuff lately. One title I was really enjoying was The Infinite, a book Liefeld was doing at Image with Robert kirkman. The book was about a time traveller named Bowen who goes back in time and recruits a younger version of himself to fight against a maniac who rules the future.

I've been following Liefeld on Twitter for awhile, and he tweeted a couple times about possibly having someone help out on inks for the book. A couple days ago, he tweeted that he had someone ink some pages of issue #5 that he really liked, but the rest of the team had a mixed reaction to.

Then on Saturday, Liefeld dropped this bomb on Twitter in response to a question from someone about the book:

"Unfortunately creative differences have sunk The Infinite. It's over."

He later tweeted in response to a follow-up question:

"Because of my desire that my work [look] the way I intended...it's over."

So...that's a big bummer. Like I said, I was really digging The Infinite, and there wasn't really another book like it out there. Liefeld will be busy of course, with all the stuff he's doing with DC's new 52, but it's sad to see The Infinite go. 

I'm sure we'll hear more about this story in the next few days.

Meh, I haven't heard of the book, although it sounds kinda cool. I think the Leifeld art would have kept me away. He always seems to get work, but as far as I can remember, not for long runs lately.

This kinda sucks cause like Brian, I was enjoying the book, much like Hawk & Dove. There's just something about Liefeld's style that just screams fun! People always criticize his work about being "anatomically" wrong and what not, but we're not in art school people, these are comic books, I don't want to see everyday people walking around, I want to see larger than life heroes and super hot women in my comics. If we're going to talk about realistic looking artwork, Joe Madureira, Humberto Ramos and J. Scott Campbell are quite possibly the three hottest artists in years and they couldn't be farther from realistic looking artwork, so it's just a matter of opinion. But back on The Infinite, I'm going to continue the book until the last issue like Hawk & Dove and bind them together. That's make a fun book.
