Over at ComicBookResources' forums, Erik Larsen had the following to say about the possibility of Rob Liefeld ever returning to Image Comics:
While, I think he may draw a cover or a story at some point - it's inconceivable that he might one day be a partner in the company again and I wouldn't trust him to complete anything that he solicited. His track record, in that regard, is pretty miserable. But it's not impossible that he might do a cover or story, however.
I'm sorry, but Savage Dragon was like a year late and so is the current Super-Patriot title, so where does the holier than thou stance on late books come from. Image is back stocked with late books, so people in glass houses should use more caution...
And another good point made by another poster:
Marc is just as late with stuff. Look at Hunter Killer, I already gave up hope on that one. And what was that one he had a few years ago, where the team went into hell, he never finshed it. And yes, dont forgot about SD being a year late, they have no room to talk.
Then someone relates this less than flattering Erik Larsen story:
at a con several years ago, a friend of mine and I were just walking around, just taking it all in...it was our first semi-big con. We were looking at everything, all the tables, seeing was artists were there and whatnot. We came across Eriks table. Not many people were standing around his table, maybe 10-12 including us. We were just watching him sketch. I was never a fan of his or his characters but my buddy seth was so I went over to the table and watched him sketch. about 10 minutes later, erik says to us, "if you are going to continue to just stand there and watch, its going to cost you...if not, you can leave" We all thought he was just kidding. One by one some people started to wander off but a few leftovers including seth and myself stayed, since seth is (was) a huge larson fan. Then, Erik stood up, threw his sketchbook on the ground, told some guy that was behind him to have us removed, which he did. He told us to pay or walk away...we were kind of shocked, and I guess we didnt move fast enough because the guy that was with erik took us by the arms and pulled us away from the table. As we were being pulled away, erik said something along the lines of "im not here to make friends, im here to sell" or something like that...i swear to you, that is a true story.
