Obama! Liefeld! Madrock!

[une_croix.insanejournal.com]

Sorry to have kept all y'all waiting.

4 pages from the newest issue of Youngblood, Rob's long awaited return to writing and pencilling his baby. If you're an Obamaniac (aren't we all?), you should know these are the *only* Liefeld pages featuring O in this issue.

There is an Obama cover as this is a flip book with a short supplemental tale with an Obama cameo (pencilled by Liefeld protege Marat Mychaels) but this's a new book so four scans allowed only.

Rob himself says:

"A couple things i wanted to add about Youngblood #9....

First, I'm extremely pleased with the story...it gets the series back on track. I'm more pleased with the story and the pace than anything else.

My biggest thrill is that Kirkman pulled me aside to tell me how much he enjoyed it! He even asked Marat later on in the weekend if I really wrote it myself or if it was a "ghost!"

Sweet!"

Jerko?

The sudden appearance of GUN is necessary for introductions.

[faile_neume.insanejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA WHAT

I'd love to hear what Obama thinks of this.

[fickle.insanejournal.com]

I wouldn't. Mostly because I worry it'd put him off comics for LIFE. >_

[zemo.insanejournal.com]

...does Obama even know how to use a gun?

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

That's like the first thing presidents learn when they're in office. That and the "Secret Handshake". How do you think our beloved President James Marshall could have defeated all those terrorists? :D

[jesidres.insanejournal.com]

Typical Liefeld- as soon as you get away from the head shot trace (ala Shepard Fairey/Greg Land) the face becomes so highly generalized that I don't think I would have recognized him at all.

Also: WHAT.

[une_croix.insanejournal.com]

I love Little Orphan Barry:

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha. Holy crap. This is great. It's such a cracktastic trainwreck you can't help but want to watch.

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

There are only two secret service agents in all of Washington, D.C.

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

Now there's 0!

[jelly_ace.insanejournal.com]

OMG, I finally saw the trademarked gritted teeth!!! And the hands! Why are they so stiff?

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

And yet, they can talk through those gritted teeth!

[gunshou.insanejournal.com]

The pornface is at the top of his repertoire.

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

...your juxtaposition of those two shots... it looks like WHite Kid is talking to Obama... ahahaha

[shanejayell.insanejournal.com]

LOL

Just... so SO bad.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

Is that... Cable?

DEADPOOL WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

That can't be Cable. Cable's arms were both the same size. Usually.

[ian_karkull.insanejournal.com]

The random assembly of impossibly fucked up perspectives on page 2(what the hell is happening to that clock?) just gave me Vertigo.

Also, the President apparently does not know how to spell debate.

[aaron_bourque.insanejournal.com]

Also, the President apparently does not know how to spell debate.

No, that's just how he pronounces it.

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

I love how Obama's head changes shape several times, and he spends a good deal of time without eyes. Liefeld, you so baaaaad!

Oh, and panel four is a riot. He's all smiles, and then totally goes serious when he mentions the Secret Service guys. He's all like, "Those guys are MAH BOIS, but y'all SS guys suck". The expression on the tall guard's face is also priceless, "Well you suck too, Mr. President."

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

Wait...in panel two is he suggesting that a Secret Service guy put pressure on the Speaker of the House? Or is he expecting her to get violent and attack Obama, so he need protection?

Either way, that's 31 flavours of messed up.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

Pelosi gets uppity at meetings.

[menagerie.insanejournal.com]

So, right wing version of Millar's run on the Authority? Meh.

[goodfellow_puck.insanejournal.com]

Is the shooting of the SS agents not gay Terminator's doing? Otherwise I'm REALLY confused.

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

That's Log Cabin Terminator, thank you!

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

You'd think in a world with meta-humans running around, they would have hired some bullet-proof Secret Service Guys.

[ashtoreth.insanejournal.com]

The bad guy and the Secret Service shop for the same brand sunglasses.

[khamelea.insanejournal.com]

Celestine now looks like genius character design.

[his_spiffyness.insanejournal.com]

But the question everyone really wants to know:

When is the Glory/Avengelyne/Sarah Palin one shot coming out?

[darkknightjrk.insanejournal.com]

God, it's so cracktacular it's amazing. The only way this could get better is if they give Barack one of the signature Liefeld Big Fucking Guns and start blasting away. :D

You mean like this?

[une_croix.insanejournal.com]

[gothamsprincess.insanejournal.com]

In the panel where the secret service agents are getting shot, Obama looks a bit like Tubby Smith. I've drank way too much blue Kool-Aid.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

... Whut?

What did I just...I won't say 'read', because that seems...not right.

I'll just say 'experience'...what did I just experience?

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

The anti-awesome equation.

The whole "Badrock? More like MADrock!" makes me want a can of Powerthirst (http://www.google.ca/url?q=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DqRuNxHqwazs&ei=lyqCSrm-IZbKtge9xpDUCg&sa=X&oi=video_result&resnum=1&ct=thumbnail&usg=AFQjCNHl5X20VDolLqQeuvv3pVfh-nmn6A).

I love those! It fits hilariously well.
