What If...Rob Liefeld did the variant cover to Dr. Solar #!?

Post by JonesyAZ »

Hey all,

Here is my take of what Liefeld's variant approach to Dr. Solar would be; inspired by the recent thread of Solar's return...lol.

Nice! I like it! All it's missing is a metal -banded arm and a gleaming bionic eye and you're all set.

I thought about that, but my thought first was that he'd probably draw Solar to look a bit like classic Cyclops first, then I had to add the obligatory many swords and gun/metallic pipes on his back. Then I threw in a Liefeld gun in Solar's hand for good measure :)

The gun was actually a bit of an afterthought...my inspiration was how Liefeld had drawn Cable on the cover of X-Force #1 where he is hunched over will all this junk on his back, yet has a small gun in his hand...lol.

:hm:

I would have thought Solar would be screaming, like taking a mad dump, like Savage Dragon... speed lines, like he was going really fast toward one side of the comic.

Can we get the mad-taking-an-angry-dump Solar? :?

I'll plot it for you.

[Insert name of title hero/group] is breaking into [insert villain/group name here]'s facility to get hold of [insert name of artifact here] for some reason.

Henchmen fight them but [insert hero/group name here] fends them off and makes it to centre of facility where they are confronted by [insert villain/group name here].

There is some cliched posturing and forced dialogue between [insert hero/group name here] and [insert villain/group name here] and they fight over a series of disproportioned and badly perspective laden splash pages (10 minimum).

[insert hero/group name here] eventually beats [insert villain/group name here] and aquires [insert name of artifact here] and then heads back to base for debrief.

When [insert hero/group name here] returns to base their boss (in exaggerated military uniform and smoking a fat cigar) confronts them for going against the plan but [insert hero/group member name here] comes out with a "witty" quip and they part ways.

{insert hero/group member name here] is seen getting into bed with a woman with a waspish waist and massive breasts and they pull the covers over them.

End
