Last News: Stan Lee Trolls Deadpool Co-Creator Rob Liefeld with Brutal Burn
Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee has taken a playful jab at Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, leaving fans in stitches. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Lee commented on Liefeld’s departure from Marvel in 1992 and his subsequent work with Image Comics. “Rob Liefeld, he’s a great guy, but he left Marvel and went to Image Comics. And at Image Comics, he created some characters that were very popular, like Deadpool,” Lee said. “But I always said that if Rob Liefeld had stayed at Marvel, he would have become a much better artist. Because at Marvel, we had all these great artists like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and John Romita. And they would have taught Rob how to draw properly.” Liefeld responded to Lee’s comments on Twitter, joking that he was “still trying to learn how to draw feet.” Fans took to social media to praise Lee’s wit and humor, with many declaring the burn “savage.” “Stan Lee just roasted Rob Liefeld, and it’s glorious!” tweeted one fan. “This is the best thing I’ve heard all week,” added another. The exchange between Lee and Liefeld highlights the friendly rivalry that often exists within the comic book community, and has likely added fuel to the ongoing debate over whether Liefeld’s artistic style is deserving of praise or scorn.
