The back of the issue contains a message from the creators:

I guess I...huh. I don't know what to say, here. Liefield almost appears to be doing a cover of himself. The first page looks very generic, like one of the many Image imitators that appeared in the late 90s. The latter pages look like someone who doesn't have as much experience as Liefeld does.

I mean, compare the work of some artists from their first big score and then check on them 20 years later. Look at how Kirby matured, how guys like Perez, Adams, Byrne, Giffen and a host of others changed, developed and improved. Liefeld has had decades to, if not improve, then at least refine. He doesn't really seem to have done that.

This reads...well, it reads GODAWFUL. Kirkman writes better than this, normally.

Well, he has improved some--he's got a slightly better grasp on anatomy and he actually draws feet instead of putting shit in the way to avoid it.

Of course, no where near the level of guys like Perez and the other classics, but then they started off far better than Rob.
