Rob Liefeld Interview Major X
134Rob Liefeld Interview Major X
A few days ago at WonderCon, I sat down with Rob Liefeld for an extended video interview for his new comic series "Major X"; the first issue is now on sale. During the wide-ranging conversation, Liefeld talked about how "Major X" happened, if the storyline changed at all since he came up with the idea for the character back in 1992, if he had to be beholden to anything at Marvel when writing the series, what the series is about, how he connected dots from everything he’s ever done at Marvel since he worked on "New Mutants" and "X-Force," and so much more about the six-issue run. In addition, we talked about the popularity of “slabbing” comic books, where he keeps his massive comic book collection, why he doesn’t sell his original artwork, why he pays Neal Adams at every convention to sign books and do sketches, why the Marvel brand is the brand, why he loved the Aquaman movie, and so much more.
If you’re not familiar with "Major X," the six-part event mini-series, shipping twice a month from April to June, is scripted and drawn by Liefeld with additional art from Whilce Portacio and Brent Peebles. The series introduces never-before-seen conflicts and a whole new world of characters alongside characters like Cable and Wolverine.
Finally, if you’re planning on picking up a copy of "Major X," Marvel sold out of the first issue, so you might want to visit a comic book store soon to get a copy at retail price.
