Generally if the question is "do these people know X" the answer is no. They don't know poo poo.

Just how Polina drew him. This was when they were trying to play up that he was the physically strongest mutant ever.

Poor old guy  . I know we’ve gone through it before, but He tried to hard to adjust to the 90s and just couldn’t. PS - Tom Morgan was one of those guys that when I saw his name as the fill-in artist, I knew I was going to be skipping that issue. His biggest claim to fame was drawing a 6 page Fartman comic for Howard Stern, so yeah.

We talk a lot about Image and all the EXTREME 90' s stuff in this thread. I stumbled on this documentary I'd never seen before that seems to sum up the era pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70dsjiLERfs Whoops. that was part 2. Part 1 here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9a1XSyjjNg I can actually honestly see the appeal and understand the hype, as cringe worthy as it is now. The stuff was seen as different and mold breaking after 30 years of bascially by the book house styles of Marvel and DC. Their heart seemed to be in the right place regarding artist and creator control too. It's a good watch. Kind of like a VH1: Behind the Music episode It hasn't aged well, of course, but a lot of things don't. God, Liefeld is a goofball.

Polina's art on X-Force was by and large very good and aside from kind of a stiff and dopey pose I don't have any big objections to the stylized anatomy. He had great facial expressions, kind of Giffen-y, kind of in a similar 90s vein as like Pasqual Ferry. He could draw people looking happy in interesting ways which was no small feat in an era of titanic grimaces. I do think it's very funny that Dani is reading a Barry Gifford book at the beach.

I just got into comics and only really read Image stuff and European stuff. How did Image from from Spawn to what it is now? It seemed really bizarre to me that they managed to go from knockoff superheroes to almost entirely non-superhero.

I mean short answer is the speculator bubble burst and all the lovely knockoff superheroes stopped selling, then they started trying new stuff.

Was the start of their revitalization when Liefeld gave Prophet and Glory to indie folks a handful of years ago? Weird that it hasn't been that long.

I don't know, he'd given Supreme and Youngblood to Moore (and Lee had done likewise with WildC.A.T.S.) a good bit before that. I actually think a big part of the revitalisation is the arrival of Robert Kirkman, for better or worse.

There have been a few times where a bunch of Indy creators have come to Image for brief times.. Bone and Strangers in Paradise were both Image books for chunks of their runs. I don't have any sales data to back things up but the explosion in popularity of the Walking Dead is probably the moment when Image was revitalized.

Walking Dead (and maybe Invincible) is definitely what led to Kirkman getting bumped up to more or less equal status with the company's founding partners.

Definitely Invincible was a factor. It was the first time Image had a superhero book that worked in years. Also Kirkman proved that the creative partnership he'd made with Charlie Adlard on The Walking Dead after Tony Moore left wasn't a fluke when he paired up with Ryan Ottley.
