AX – Mythbusters

While piecing together the information on this site I ran into instances where appearances were incorrectly listed in wikis and message boards.

The following books do not belong in the Liefeld-verse despite dubious claims elsewhere on the web.

  • X-Farce (1992) #1 [Eclipse Comics] 01/1992
    • parody of Liefeld’s X-Force work
    • pre-Image
    • includes a one-page story mocking Liefeld’s jeans ad
  • Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters: The Lost Treasures (1993) #1 [Parody Press] 1993
    • Rob Liefeld parody art on first page, but based on “X” work at Marvel, not on Image work
    • text says “…Rob Liefeld! He’s not doing anything since he left Marvel, is he?”
  • Stormwatch (1993) #35 [Image Comics] 04/1996
    • minor character on first page mistaken for Deadlock?
  • Avatars (1998) 1 [Avatar Press] 08/1998
    • sometimes listed as an appearance of DemonSlayer, but this actually pre-dates her first appearance
  • Avatars (1998) 2 [Avatar Press] 09/1998
    • sometimes listed as an appearance of DemonSlayer, but this actually pre-dates her first appearance
  • The Savage Dragon (1993) 124 [Image Comics] 03/2006
    • Marvel’s Thing mistaken for Badrock?
  • Chase Variant One Shot (2010) 1 [Image Comics] 02/2010
    • Rob Liefeld mentioned on cover
    • inspired by Liefeld/’90s stuff, but no other Liefeld references (no Extreme Universe connection)
  • The Savage Dragon (1993) 189 [Image Comics] 07/2013
    • “Animal II” mistaken for Badrock?
