To just baldly say, "No, he's a good artist" and ignore everything that has been pointed out. Who are you to be able to say that to us? That's very condescending and dismissive, to say the least.

Must say I havent read much during the last say 10 years. I never nearly understood the "image bunch" hype (Lee, Mcfarlane and the such); I always felt there was few love in their work, and they were trying to just feed the machine. (of course there was exceptions, maybe Larson and Keith). IMO Liefeld was a very poor and lazy drawer. I know collecting foil-plastic vacuum comics had something to do with it, but that never reached Spain.
If you're swiping ten years into a career, then it's a problem. I don't read Liefeld's stuff whatsoever now, but I highly doubt he was swiping by the time he moved to Image.

He also created a character for for Image called Smash who looked EXACTLY like the Hulk. Seriously...this is supposed to be Smash, and not the Hulk that was just colored purple. At least when he copied Lobo to create Bloodwulf for Image they looked at least
