While I'm not too knowledgable of Liefield, other than those hate pages of how he thoroughly screwed up Captain America, I see his POV as from a businessman who's trying to keep his enterprise alive. He's got a notion of what types of comics sell. He prefers the warped anatomy style with lots of explosions, because that's the early teen male market and that's what sells.

Moore, on the other hand, is a lot more cerebral, and his methods make comics sell too, just to a different market. Of course those two are going to butt heads and not see eye-to-eye. Moore also has a piquant distaste for associating himself with major players. He takes his name off movie credits, refuses to work for the big 2, and doesn't peddle himself at conventions. He's the 800 lb gorilla and has the bananas to prove it.

if it was a business rant about how Moore would not do the work he asked, etc, etc, I could see it. But Liefeld just half assed some talking points he gathered up from internet forums, mixed it with his own crappy lies and false logic, then spewed it out in an interview.

As a businessman, Rob should've worried more about paying his talent and finishing his work.
