Another great issue as Col. Hawk's black ops G.I.Joe team, consisting of Flynt, Lady Jaye & Beachhead, go to rescue a fellow Joe, Shooter. Meanwhile, Destro starts to make plans against Cobra Commander.
Another great issue by #ScottSnyder & #NickDragotta that sees the full debut of Absolute Catwoman while Batman makes his final plans to take down Bane.
Another superb issue by #JasonAaron & #RafaSandoval as Superman, Lois Lane & Jimmy Olsen all regroup in Smallville after their battle with Rhas Al'Ghul.
#RobLiefeld's most popular co-creation was adapted into the #Deadpool movie franchise, starring #RyanReynolds, with Leifeld making a cameo in the first film. Today, he mostly works as a freelance artist while doing his podcast, "Robservations"....https://youtu.be/Xithigfg7dA?si=VQ4PtGQ6xaIZQW9M

Feels like yet another good time to plug our pro-marriage Spider-Man Discord too and keep the momentum going. Would love to see fans there!

After being voted out of #ImageComics (or quitting, depending on the version of events), #RobLiefeld would launch
#AwesomeComics, launching a new line of comics, which included an acclaimed run on #Supreme by #AlanMoore, who won the #Eisner for Best Writer in 1997 for his work.

In 1996, #RobLiefeld was part of the infamous #HeroesReborn relaunch at #Marvel, where he took over #CaptainAmerica in an attempt to revive him, only for his contract to be cut short due to low sales and poor critical reception, with #JimLee & #WildstormStudios taking over.

“One More Day is Spider-Man’s worst story. [It] will never get re-evaluated, as some bad stories do in the future, because of the damage done to the Spider-Man comics by it.”

So long as fans speak out and vote with their wallets, things CAN get better.

#RobLiefeld would launch #ImageComics with #Youngblood #1 (April 1992), eventually selling a million copies. It was such a huge event that Liefeld promoted it on the #DennisMillerShow.
Great first season…thought you might like "Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" on Disney .
#RobLiefeld made his big break when he became the artist #NewMutants, where he co-created such iconic characters like #Cable & #Deadpool with writer #FabianNicieza. This would later be turned into #X-Force, whose first issue sold 5 million copies on August of 1991.
#RobLiefeld began his career provided pin-ups for #Megaton comics, with #MegatonExplosion #1 (July 1987) featuring the earliest incarnation of his future #Youngblood team. Unfortunately, the comic was later canceled, so Liefeld had to hold off on his creation till later.

Superb conclusion to the maze story arc #KellyThompson & #HaydenSherman as Diana frees herself and its other prisoners, only for a few twists along the way.
On May of 2023, #JimLee was made President of #DCComics, a position he holds to this day. In addition, he is currently producing a sequel to #Batman:Hush with #JephLoeb.
#JimLee would shake #ImageComics and the industry as a whole when he sold #WildstormStudios to #DCComics in 1998, choosing to work at DC full time as well. The highlight would be #Batman:Hush in 2003, a twelves issue story in #Batman from 2002-2003.
