Rob Liefeld and Marc Silvestri Talk 90s X-Men | X-Men: 60 Uncanny Years

[@Darqueness]

These guys were a big chunk of my 90s comic book days and great to see they still have that same passion and energy so many years later. True Pros.

[@ryanodagawa]

Marc, Rob, Jim Lee, Whilce, plus Art Adams, Alan Davis and more were a huge influence in my career interest in X-titles, but also comics in general , and my career drawing comics. They are some of the best around!

[@shreknet]

X-tinction Agenda ruled Liefeld's action in that epic was next level. Silvestri will always hold a special place in my heart as well.

[@datamouth]

i grew up in the silvestri era. i am a graphic designer now and an artist on the side. i can honestly say that without silvestris artistic influence i wouldnt be doing the things i do today.

[@impureneighbour9792]

Seeing Chris Claremont and all those other great comic legends in the virtual event was such a treat! More than that actually!!!

[@fblondon8426]

Loved the inferno story across the x-men x-factor and new mutants also extinction agenda great storyline

[@CCaster2000]

90s X-Men rocked!

[@KGBookkeeping]

Rob Liefeld’s omnibus collection in the background looks legit!!!

[@TheWarmachine375]

X-Men 90s animated show is quite a classic especially with its iconic theme song music.

[@baIoney]

I saw the show for the first time recently and i liked everything except storm. She seemd too much like she was living in the 1950s instead of the 1990s like the other X-Men. Her demeanor felt dramatically distinctive compared to the other characters. I know storm is meant to be sophisticated but she didnt exactly need to be so straightforward and bland imo

[@joshuacox5817]

The cartoon and Age of Apocalypse is what did it for me.

[@joshuacox5817]

​@@baIoney I WILL MEET YOU AT THE MONORAAAAIIILLL!!!!

[@benparrish672]

​@@baIoney Thts cuz Storm came from a backwoods African tribe that thought Storm was a deity

[@AwwTruly]

One of the best shows in history , the story lines and dialog was superb.

[@benparrish672]

Marc Slyvestri just wrote & drew an amazing miniseries: The Deadly Duo w/Batman & Joker! They teamup & Batsy & Joker's dialog and actions line up to actually seem like themselves

[@keiyangoshin3650]

The 90’s were my favourite time for reading Marvel comics.

[@benparrish672]

The 90's were the best of times and the worst of times. The 90's also forced Azrael & Ben Reilly to replace the top 2 Heroes, which had me drop comics completely cuz Bruce Wayne & Peter Parker are Batsy & Spidey respectively!

[@lawrenceinsley4114]

@@chancerichards9176 My favorite Batman costume came from the 70’s. As far as childish writing, the same can be said for many 90’s comics. Late 80’s, early 90’s is my favorite era, though the lighting in the early 2000’s was cool.

[@lisaroberts8556]

Marc’s run on the X-Men caught my eyes. And got me to buy X-Men books. Wish Marvel still had this type of talent and story telling left in them. Now it’s just a shadow of its former self.

[@StruggleoftheOutsider]

This is Awesome to see Rob & Mark together.. gotta get Mark on CK.

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

This was great, these guys are legends from X-men to Image. So many of their creations and art inspires so much mainstream media these days. We need to show some love to Joe Mad tho, he carried the torch into the late 90s keeping X-men art at the top of the industry. People forget him because he went into the videogame space so heavy but his art is one of the reasons manga/anime became popular in the west as well.

[@mr.jultra4720]

Joe Mad is great but can't keep promises

[@itzzzsss]

One thing great about the late 1980s to early 1990s, was the X-Men titles. Then Wizards of the Coast monthly magazines that had free cards, polybagged. ..They also came with the games with X-Men in arcades, card packs. Then the cartoon series. It wasn't just comic books You have to give big credits to comic artists who designed all the tech and wardrobes art in each of the books

[@Higgs2219]

The reason for the success is that there was great writing and fantastic art to go with it!

[@sinkingship4454]

X-Men is LOVE

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Man, everyone is celebrating the 60th anniversary of X-Men in the 90s. I never got the chance to read every X-Men comic. I have the full comic volume of Wolverine: Japan's most Wanted. and right now, I'm obsessed with reading X-Men.

[@JordoSez]

The 60th anniversary xmen was NOT in the 90s

[@filmmakermartin]

Two of my all time favorite comic book artists, along with Jim Lee. My moment was X-Men #1 in 1991 when Lee and Claremont took over. Just amazing work back then!! These guys are true legends!!

[@mr.jultra4720]

I'm a simple man, I see Marc Silvestri in the title, I click.

[@colejohnson5026]

What's really striking about this thing is how even all these years later, Liefeld and Silvestri STILL get excited talking about X-Men.

[@وحشليلا]

Funny Movie: Groot Talking Tree: He said I love you guys. Finally he spoke hahaha

[@nodatastored684]

Outback Saga and Fall of the Mutants are my favorite eras... Claremonts whole X-Men showed characer growth even among the background characters.... Still not surpassed yet

[@glenngatlin8475]

I liked Marc's Rogue and her look!!!

[@tylerv.5713]

Extinction Agenda for me. Favorite 90s X-crossover...that would be AOA, but that is a long epic in alternate universe, so I am sticking with Extinction Agenda. Great seeing the different X-Teams come together and wage war on a whole country. & a Real 90s blockbuster, so many great moments, character interaction of the different teams. Good close to the 80s era and start to the 90s strike force action era...I feel the 90s tried to copy the blueprint of the Extinction Agenda but never got it like this one did. It has all that early creative Jim Lee, liefeld art, who went on to form Image (which also the other companies tried to copy their art style in the early 90s) So again major blueprint for 90s starts in this book in terms of art (well at least the first half of the 90s). Heck even some comic book artists today, are still trying to copy Jim lee's art style. Speaking of art, I only wish Whilce Portacio took part in this too as he never got a chance to do an X-Over event, but thats okay. Still more then worth it, and Extinction begins the closing chapter/twilight of the Claremont run.

[@VBaskin2010]

Mine was the 1st episode of Marvel-Saban's "The Uncanny X-Men: The Animated Series", back when the Fox Kids Children's Television Network was getting to become one of the hottest hangout on TV!

[@kushviper]

Inferno was my absolute favorite crossover! As preteen comic artist wannabe I pored over those panels until my issues were trashed. Marc was my hero back then

[@mardukmd6729]

my personal list, in order: 1. Paul Smith run 2. Byrne years 3. Jim Lee Uncanny run 4. Art Adams Annuals/ Marc Silvestri "Outback" era 5. Dave Cockrum

It is X-cutioner's song.

[@mikewhiterobot]

So funny that it's Silvestri and Liefeld but all the art featured in the intro is Jim Lee. Love Silvestri's X Men run on Uncanny him and Dan Green or Al Milgrom were great combos! Nice to see Rob and Marc together and not hating each other.

[@benparrish672]

Marvel needs an updated SuperVillain Squad. The Maker & Mr. Sinister are the brains behind forming a new Villain team, financed by WW3 Archangel & Psylocke. HW Tag Team Champs: Sabretooth & Juggernaut are the muscle w/Omega Red & Kaine Parker are the hitman team. Sum1 w/a Symbiote (Archangel?!!) & Mystique & Destiny & TaskMaster are the spies & trainers & leaders of their Goon Squad. The Enchantress & the Apocalypse Twins & a version of Loki take over SWORD or whomever is leading humanity's space defense programs. SuperSkrull (Klum?) & Ronin the Accuser & Nebula are sent to various alien species (w/Purple Man in a Dr. Doom built weaponizing crystal) to get aliens to become allies or to kneel! Maker & Sinister & Archangel bonded w/a Symbiote & Tag Team Champs (New Villainous Bash Brothers) Sabretooth and Juggernaut & Mystique & Destiny are the founding 7 tht form Marvel's newest & coolest EVER SuperVillain team! Kaine Parker the perfect Spidey clone is their 1st recruit & worth being brought back to life for his "OTHER" form & perfected cloning DNA and process (for reverse engineering)!

[@chase_Variant]

God loves, Man Kills. Not an 'event' but the greatest comicbook story ever told IMHO

[@TraskSmith]

Inferno was what brought me in to the X-books, and of course I was hooked and ended up reading all of the back issues. I bought and read everything untiI about the mid '90s. I lost interest after Claremont left. I was a big fan of Silvestri. I was never a fan of Liefeld. I love his enthusiasm, but that's about it.

[@Jumpoable]

You don't like the way he draws his ankles? LOL fair enough, but his work on the last days of the New Mutants going into X-Force is now iconic. Also a MASSIVE Silvestri fan. His work on Uncanny was so fresh & dynamic & some of the panels & lines still gives me goosebumps. He's very eloquent, clearly a clever artist.

May seem like there's some sort of Korean hatred, or could be a coincidence, on Marvel's comic book printings employee(s). The actual physical book of it. There were heavy damage on Amadeus Choi - Hulk book. It had line creesis on the back. Like embossing. Now, foldable cover X-Men 1 from Jime Lee - Facsimile, there's heavy creesis. I've been to 3 comic book stores. And the books all have that damagings.
