Rarely is it that a comic creator can carve out their own legacy not only at one company, but at both of the Big Two. Jeph Loeb is a standout, having reached acclaim for his Batman trilogy with Tim Sale, only to then go to Marvel and unveil books that rival—and even surpass—his DC work.Of course, when you look at a catalogue like Loeb’s, much sticks out. Between the fantastic “Marvel Colors” series, his creation of a beloved legacy hero, and an absolutely giant Hulk stint that introduced one of the green giant’s most iconic villains, Loeb’s Marvel tenure is nothing to scoff at. Of course, some books are better than others; you don’t write at a company for thirty years without making some duds.Jeph Loeb was brought on as the writer for three of these Heroes Reborn titles: Iron Man, Captain America, and The Avengers, all drawn by names like Rob Liefeld. It was a way of drawing eyes to some of Marvel’s once-greatest names and generating sales, and under Loeb’s pen, it worked. Many of these titles lasted for a year as Marvel tried to get back on their feet, and if it wasn’t for the drawing power of the creatives behind these books, the strategy likely wouldn’t have worked as well.
