The Insult That Made A humanity Out Of Rob Liefeld And Saw Him Quit Marvel … the red carpet drama behind Rob Liefeld ’s decisiveness to go out
Article Summary
If anyone need to drag the Atlas Man Of Muscle parody featuringRob LiefeldandKevin Feige , go ahead . Last year , Bleeding Cool reported on Rob Liefeld ’s declared decision that firsthe would no longer crop on Deadpool comicsafter the close of theDeadpool Team Upseries out next week . Then that he was done entirely with Marvel . It did n’t seem a decision made in anger , but one of deciding what he want in life , committing to creator - owned comics , and doing theAlan Mooretrick of burning your bridges so that your future self could not bewray your decision in the second . Of course , this would not be the only time Rob Liefeld had burnt bridge deck , only to later on see them rebuilt by others . AndTom Brevoortsidelined . This , however , seemed more lasting . At the clock time , Rob said that there was no dramaover this conclusion . But this week , it seems that there was a fair bit .
In his late Robservations podcast , Rob Liefield cited event around July ’s New York premiere ofDeadpool & Wolverine . Where the Divine of Deadpool unwrap that he and his family were not ask in to the premiere afterparty and was blanked by Marvel Studios bossKevin Feigeon the red carpet , say that " it was signify to embarrass , diminish , shoot down me " . He also discovered that after being asked by Disney reps to pose for photos with hoi polloi postulate with Deadpool & Wolverine , his publicist after told him that any prescribed picture taken with him and the film cast and crew were delete .
He also quote his issues beginning in 2023 , when Marvel chose to give carbon monoxide - creator status of Wolverine to the editorRoy Thomasof the comedian where Wolverine first appear , against usual creative protocol where its the author and artist who get that credit , causing alarm across the industry , with Liefeld close to Wolverine Colorado - creatorLen Wein ’s widowChristine Valada .
Then in 2024 , Liefeld asked if he could receive a lead credit onDeadpool & Wolverine , withFabian Niciezaas Colorado - Creator of Deadpool , similar to whatStan Lee , Steve DitkoandJack Kirbyhave receive for recent moving-picture show , or evenJerry SiegelandJoe ShusteronSuperman , ask that this asking be transport toBob IgerandKevin Feige . Stating , " Marvel ’s treatment of creator has never been their force . Without the worlds , the characters and the concept that we make — and in this specific pillowcase , the world of Deadpool — there are no films to inject . No megahit to distribute . … I am not the promiscuous clitoris at Staples . I am the human imagination behind it all . " His agents told him that his subject matter was not received well inside Marvel , nip , " My reps were screamed at today ' We are NOT Fox ! ' Tell me about it . Also hang up on . " He states , " Kevin Feige does not treat risible book creators well . That is my personal experience " . He posts to Facebook , " This last issue of Deadpool Team - Up is my final work with all the ring and my last study with Marvel . I had a unspoiled time . In stores Feb. 12th ! "
Rob Liefeld posted"Thank you to everyone who has reached out today . I appreciate you all so much . I will always believe that comic creators are exceptional and merit peculiar treatment . It cost nothing to share a kind word , lamentably , even that was beneath Marvel & Disney . My family and I deserved common decency . We are the dreamers that light the mode . possibly the situation meliorate for others from here forrad . "
I am also remind of the metre Todd McFarlane chose to throw in the towel Marvel because they did n’t send him one of the T - shirt Marvel had licence featuring his piece of work . For something that would have cost almost nothing , Marvel has lose someone who in spades made them a lot of money .
Fellow Deadpool writerGail Simoneposted on Facebook,“I feel very eldritch about this because I dead consider the Almighty of Deadpool should be treated wonderfully and with all the esteem they have earned . On the other hired man , Marvel deal me marvellously at that same premiere . I mean , they went WAY out of their way to make it a lovely experience . I hope this gets work out out for everyone . "
In response , Michael D. Flohrasked " How did they treat Fabian ? " And Fabian Nicieza replied " Fabian was treated just fine and Fabian was invited to the after political party , so deduce from that whatever you wish . " He also added " Fabian was disappointed that all the celebrities and picture show hoi polloi were cordoned off behind a rope off section of the place . Fabian was also let down that the only prospect he had to meet music director Shawn Levy was in the men ’s room when he was at the urinal and Fabian was waiting in line . Fabian chose to not introduce himself as Shawn went to wash off his script and Fabian just went to the urinal instead . Mostly , Fabian was really glad to see Shawn wash his hands because Fabian tends to be appalled by how many people do n’t . "
It might be deserving revisiting at the metre , from that premiere , that Fabian Nicieza post onX , " A " writer ’s photo " from the # DeadpoolAndWolverine premiere has gotten play , which is honestly skillful , but also : COMIC BOOKS ARE A VISUAL MEDIUM . They do not exist without artists . I thank the artists who have ALWAYS made my Deadpool stories better because they were OUR narrative . "
So , yes , Fabian Nicieza was invited to theDeadpool & Wolverineafter party , and Rob Liefeld was not . That ’s a sight more than a detached T - shirt and , for the cost of some appetizer , Marvel has drop off any more Deadpool – or anything – from Rob Liefeld , include the previously promised Major X and X - Men series antecedently announced . Deadpool Team - Up#5 by Rob Liefeld is published next Wednesday .
