Aside from the ridiculous proportions and T&A, uhm....WHY the fuck does the first cover look like it was drawn in MSPaint??? The lines are all stupidly sharped pixel points. It's distracting and amateur. Did someone scan it in greyscale xerox mode, or trap it badly, or WHAT?

In the second one...those feet are ridiculous even accounting for foreshortening. It looks like the artist found a photo of a girl already badly Photoshoped for a shoe ad (circa 1990s) and a photo of a Vespa, mashed them together and TRACED THEM.

This...this is seriously what one of the big dog comic publishers puts on their big lines? This is why I don't read Superhero books...I don't like to beat my head into a wall.

	Actually, I guess the first pic was drawn with a pencil tool and a line tool set to 1px. Ugh. (Also, Spidey is clenching the hell out of those butt-cheeks.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
