He didn't retire. He just poorly phrases things. much like how he poorly draws things.
In a Facebook thread stared by Ethan Van Sciver, he stated I would like to Rob Liefeld to draw Badrock Obama. But he won't. A mashup of Barack Obama and
From his Twitter: I am NOT retired from comics. Taking some time off and will be back at it soon. Thanks!
No I am not permanently retired from comics. I’m too young! Momentarily, yes. Geez, let a guy enjoy some R and R
My mistake is that I don’t give facebook comments the same weight as I do twitter rants. Lesson learned.Comment

I'll give him credit for stretching his limited talent pool into what he eventually became. In twenty plus years he never got better, just richer. How many people can make that claim?
I really think, of all the Image guys, his Extreme Studios was the biggest disappointment as far as potential. He had some really cool characters and concepts that was just poorly executed. Youngblood should have been so much better. When he opened the doors to real writers like Moore on Supreme, look at how those ideas took off. Too bad it was waaaaay too late to save his company.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.
If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

Y'know.... when you put it that way I can't disagree. He's the William Hung of comics!
>In twenty plus years he never got better, just richer.
You've hit on my main complaint with Liefield. I'm not put off by the weird anatomy, oversize guns, bendy swords, tiny, tiny feet.... what really puts me off his stuff is that after reading one or two of his books you've seen every design, pose, and composition you ever will. He was never very versatile, and he never increased his repitoire.
>He had some really cool characters and concepts that was just poorly executed.
Well.... he had some pretty bombastic stuff, but most of his characters didn't have a lot of room to develop and didn't bring too much new to the superhero party. So after a couple issues you'd seen everything you were going to.
