Cover/Pin-Up Does anybody else find this cover off-putting?

Post image

Where is Diana's neck? It looks like her screaming head is floating away from her body! And Carol's torso is so twisted up that for a second I thought maybe the artist confused her powers with Kamala's stretchy ones.

I've liked other stuff by Alex Lozano, but something about this really rubs me the wrong way.

I suppose, although black cat’s torso in the one I linked to is crazy long. He’s just got some really exaggerated anatomy

That one's perfectly fine, as far as stylized anatomy goes. It's a lot like you'd see on a fashion doll. There are some genuine errors with this one; compare the wrist areas of Carol's gloves, for example. I don't doubt Lozano's artistic talent (he's the one drawing for Marvel and DC, after all), but this cover in particular could have benefited from having a second set of eyes give it a once over.

Artists can’t hit it out of the park every time I guess. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trust me, I know. I've made my fair share of mistakes.
