Friday, July 21 • 5:30pm – 6:30pm Room 5AB
Rob Liefeld: Deadpool: Badder Blood
Rob Liefeld, the creator of Deadpool, discusses his return to Marvel Comics with the successful sold-out launch of the new five-issue series, Deadpool: Badder Blood, in June 2023.
Room 5AB is one of the larger rooms usually reserved for significant comic book publisher presentations or spotlighting major comic creators. However, Rob Liefeld, who was attending the show, seemed unaware of the panel. A tweet from Brendan Spreder mentioned the panel’s absence of the subject, stating, “No-call-no-show situation at Rob Liefeld panel in 5 AB. He is late, and staff has not been notified of his whereabouts.” Several other confused tweets followed.
Late last night, Rob Liefeld tweeted, “Hey, I’m hearing folks say I had a panel at comic con, but there has been zero communication with me about ever having a panel. News to me.”
A disappointed fan named Turg replied, “Yeah, myself and maybe 1-200 people were waiting for you for about 40 minutes before we left. Some of us went to your booth to find you, but you had already left for the day. Not sure why you weren’t notified or how this is even possible, but it sucked.”
In response, Rob Liefeld quote tweeted, saying, “I have never, ever been notified that I had any panel at San Diego Comic-Con. When I was asked to do any panels this year, I declined and said I wanted to take a break. This is news to me.”
Another attendee named Rocco Botte tweeted, “Hey Rob, me and my friends had the panel scheduled after this one, and they left your name placard on the table. I took it to karaoke. Is that okay, or do you want it back?”
Rob Liefeld concluded, “You would think that at the very least, I would have been sent some version of this panel description to approve and confirm. Unfortunately, that does not exist. I’m certain it was not done maliciously, and it’s something that I hope can be avoided in the future. Again, this is the first I’ve heard of it.”
So what really happened? Well, we are not entirely sure who organized the panel in the first place. Bleeding Cool reached out to the organizers of San Diego Comic-Con, and they apologized for the confusion, stating, “We apologize for the confusion that occurred regarding the Friday panel for Rob Liefeld. While we received both a panel request and later description, we missed the communication about the cancellation of the panel. Our sincerest apologies to Rob and his many fans!”
