Today, the comics community, nay, the entire world mourns the tragic loss of one of the internet's greatest Twitter accounts. Yes, superstar comic book creator Rob Liefeld has left Twitter.

How could this have happened? Well, Liefeld announced the news Tuesday morning after a tumultuous day of arguing with people on the social media service after predicting that DC Comics would soon "drive off a cliff," a topic which we covered in depth yesterday.

Liefeld deleted the initial two tweets that sparked yesterday's uproar, which said:

DC Comics gonna drive off a cliff here real soon…..gotta get my popcorn.

And:

I ain't never seen a company in as much disarray as DC Comics. Thank God they have Batman to act as their Tylenol, Asprin, laughing gas… "more Batman will fix it!"😂

But following those tweets and the others covered in our article, the Robster appears to have argued with fans who disagreed with him through the night, potentially leading to today's decision.

I just worked for DC. Lame reach. https://t.co/UW5DvduXsZ — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

Again, this is symptomatic of so many lame takes. "DC Competitor" no, I'm a DC fan. I own more DC comics than you could imagine. So unless I accept status quo like a lemming, I'm "competing"? SO LAME. https://t.co/UW5DvduXsZ — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

What does that have to do with the price of lemons?? https://t.co/qf7j8065Fs — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

So I didn't just do covers for them??? In March 2019 yo. https://t.co/j5dXeoil6j — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

Oh, they were rushed… that's why they sold out!! https://t.co/MB4nezdqIh — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

You started this thread you pathetic little shit. Why don't you back up your words instead of playing cutesie? I haven't read a new DC comic in 10 years but I don't wish them evil — why should you? Because they know you have no talent and won't hire you? That's hardly news! — alan h (@buzzalan65) June 11, 2019

Also, my comments aren't a "thread". They are my comments. — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

My butt feels really good. Thx for the concern tho https://t.co/tWCfauqd0i — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

No, I just don't do group think. Free your mind and the rest will follow! https://t.co/g2sr2m0Yz8 — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

Seriously, maybe reflect on what you are asserting here….like soon. https://t.co/MnaevNhRLR — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

You can do better than this. These are just lazy insults, like of the cut & paste variety… https://t.co/tHAASBwbaI — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

And finally, he said:

Neither Marvel or DC is going anywhere, anytime soon. https://t.co/KRqmQSSnH9 — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

And:

Hanging it up here on the Twitter. I'll be exclusively at instagram as robliefeld with the blue check! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 11, 2019

On the bright side, at least his butt feels good.

And yes, Liefeld will still be accessible on Instagram, but was it on Instagram where Liefeld ranted after quitted DC during the Nu52, implying his editor had a small penis? Was it on Instagram where Liefeld insulted DC's entire roster of creators as unable to pull off the then-upcoming DC Rebirth relaunch? Was it on Instagram where Liefeld called everyone who ever worked on Deadpool comics besides him a "D-Lister?" Was it on Instagram where Liefeld got into it with Tom Brevoort that one time, or that other time? Was it on Instagram where Liefeld accused Mike Mignola and Mark Silvestri of pioneering the art of not drawing feet? Was it on Instagram where Liefeld said that anyone who worked with him back in the 90s was lucky to hit the Liefeld lottery? Was it on Instagram where Liefeld said he could have created Deadpool with a janitor just as easily as with Fabian Nicieza?

The answer, of course, is no. All of those things happened on Rob Liefeld's Twitter. Well, except the last one, which happened in a New York Times interview, but it was on Twitter where Liefeld yelled at everyone for quoting him on it.

And so, though we may have lost Rob Liefeld's Twitter today, we choose to remember it not as it is now, sadly empty and never to be updated again, but as it once was, as bombastic and unforgiving as Liefeld's own personality. Plus, we'll always have Cameo.

Just finished my 49th CAMEO – these are a blast!! Who will be my 50th?? Check out my Cameo profile: https://t.co/hWP7WKr6M4 — robliefeld (@robertliefeld) June 10, 2019
