Retroview: Liefeld's New Mutants 94

I’m sneaking this last entry in under the aegis of “Rob Liefeld Week” because a) it technically didn’t start until last Tuesday and b) due to an office remodel I didn’t post anything on Friday or Saturday. So suck it, Trebeck!

In this installment of “Retroview” I take on “The New Mutants” number 94, truly a Rob Liefeld masterpiece and a classic of the late 80’s / early 90’s super-hero comics industry:

If you want to learn why Wolverine and Sunspot look like they’re in the middle of an awesome handicapped-stall-handlebar-gripping face-crunching abdomen-flexing Power Dump, follow me after the jump … if you dare!

Poll Position: Gender Bender

For this week’s poll I’m asking you to think outside the box. If you’re a man, think about what it would be like a woman. And if you’re a woman already, think about what it would be like to be a man, thinking about being a woman. And if you’re a hermaphrodite, imagine what it would be like if you had to choose only one gender. And if you’re … but enough of that. The actual question for this week is:

Loud enough to spin your limbs

Rob Liefeld does everything bigger and badder, from muscles to jaws to crazy-high projecting mask bits to sound effects. For instance, you can tell that this SPLOOSH onomontoPOWia is so loud it changed both Cable’s and Wolverine’s left feet into right feet!

That’s some louditude, boys and girls.

Furthermore, I hope you’ll note that in classic Liefeld fashion he has rejected the tired, patriarchal color norms, replacing the expected blue of the tons of water falling on these two (from a big water tower in a warehouse, because we all know how important it is to keep your crates well moistened) with a sickly green. The only thing better than fresh water that quenches your thirst is puke green algae water that slaps your feet on backwards!

Random Panel: Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?
