I think his point is this bickering over details ultimately doesn't matter - Liefield has been very successful regardless of what people say - the numbers don't lie - more people (esp. in the 90's) liked what Liefield was doing than didn't. At the end of the day, Liefield will be remembered for his immediately recognizable style than the shape of an ellipse.

No its that no matter how much you run to put down this mans art like he hit your momma or ate babies its not going to make it wrong for him to get work. If the majority of people dont want him in the industry then the people will leave his books on the stands and he will not be hired anymore by either dc or marvel. He only does super hero books that are nice little action packed stories like a summer block buster cop movie by arnold or bruce willis. Hes not destroying the industry or even dictating trends.

and not remembered very fondly by a vast majority of people it seems. but whether it matters more than the fact that he sold comics once is a philosophical debate, and i hate those.

Erik Larsen, mind you, disagrees:

"Having been ripped off, lied to and stabbed in the back by this individual, I'd really rather NOT be giving the fellow any more 'air time.' I'd prefer not to be reminded of his continued existence, frankly. If he's hit by a bus--let me know so I can go piss on his grave--otherwise, give it a rest."
