Rob Liefeld finally finds his niche

I just got my mail, and along with the assorted junk were two of the “Sandman” volumes that I ordered last week (“Fables and Reflections” and “A Game of You” for those of you wondering).
In the box with them, for some reason, was a copy of issue number three of “Brigade,” a comic book created by artist Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics.
When I removed it from the box, I looked at it and said, “Uhhh…?”
I checked the invoice to make sure that I hadn’t been charged for it, then began speculating as to why it was included with my order.
I thought that maybe it was included to provide some sort of contrast, demonstrating through its sheer badness just how good the enclosed compilations of “Sandman” stories actually are.
(Scott is probably the only regular “Threshold” reader who would understand just how low-quality a comic “Brigade” is.)
Then I realized that the company that had shipped the books to me had simply realized that the best use for a Rob Liefeld comic is to simply line a box.
It damn sure beats actually reading the thing…
