 In an online post Rob Liefeld said "DC Comics going to
drive off a cliff here real soon," but he later deleted the post. There were no
details on why he made such a claim and it came off as an attempt to get
attention since he would have no idea about the inner workings of DC. Soon after
deleting the post the Image Comics co-founder dropped the news that there was a
plan to have his Extreme Universe enter the publisher's universe but commented
that it wasn’t going to happen. On his Facebook page, Liefeld talked of a call
he got "a few weeks back" from DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee asking
if he wanted to bring his "Extreme characters over to DC Comics for a new
special that would come out as soon as the end of this year where the Image
characters team up in a bunch of short stories with DC comics characters." He
said he would consider it but the "DC is going out of business post" likely made
it a never happen thing. When asked about his relationship with DC over the
years he said, "I don’t care if there is an Image Comics/DC Comics special and
I’m left out as a result," he said. "I did some covers for DC earlier this year
that went over rather well with the base. And in the interest of full
disclosure, the one property that I had been having a dialogue with DC about
over the past year was Thundarr the Barbarian, a real barn burner of a property
right? But that went nowhere fast many months back. They always bring up Hawk
and Dove to me but I decline. Not interested. And I stand by that I think DC has
seen better days."
