We’ve never fully delved into the artistic stylings of Rob Liefeld, but it’s finally time to take the plunge.

We look at his work on relaunching Captain America during Marvel’s Heroes Reborn event in the 90s along with Jeph Loeb, and we find plenty of… interesting art choices to discuss. 

We read the first 5-issue storyline as well as a 6th issue that perplexed us.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #16 which brings up a new mystery!

Some of My Friends Read Comics 224 – Avengers (1998) by Busiek & Perez + Earth X #11

It’s time for us to visit the late 90s with Kurt Busiek and George Perez’s relaunch of The Avengers!

Who will be on the new roster? Will we remember any of the history that Busiek digs up? And is it ever a good idea to relaunch a book with an alternate reality story?

Then we go onto Earth X #11 where we say farewell to the character with the best one-liners.
