If you only read one thing today, this should be it.


Rob Liefeld on Alan Moore:
Alan just wants to get paid more money, that's it. Sorry Alan. I got my body of work out of Alan Moore, he doesn't intimidate me, I don't put him on a pedestal like Jack Kirby and Frank Miller. He's just a guy who wants to get paid, and he cuts deals for himself that he doesn't like down the line, and then he gets whiny and cries about it...Hey man, he worked for me for two years, I was quiet for like ten years. And then I watched him burn every other bridge, and I go "Hmm." Although we didn't have a falling out with him. He just stopped working with us, because he now wanted to invest in his new universe with Wildstorm comics, and again, like I said, OOPS! That went up in flames. He gives 'temperamental artist' a new meaning.
Oh, the complete lack of self-awareness, it's killing me.
