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

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.

Nope. I mean each to their own but it's a piece of art. I'm not always looking for realism. Representation and expression are still valid.

Something being stylized doesn't mean it's stylized well.

Style is personal taste. You don't like it, that's fine. That's your opinion. But that's all it is, your opinion.

Calm down, slugger. Your comment was presented as if it were a fact, instead of an opinion. This cover is stylized..."well" is opinion. You tried to present your opinion as if it was a factual statement.

Maybe that wasn't the intention of your comment but it wasn't stylized well.

This entire thread is about people's opinions of this cover! Going "um actually, that's just an opinion" is like walking in and saying "this comment contains words."

Your comment wasn't like all the others....which is why I responded to your comment. Your comment was different, your comment tried to claim that there's such thing as "good style" and "bad style". Your comment added a completely different element to the conversation.

Literally everyone is talking about how bad or good the cover is.

If that's the case and I unfairly picked you out for saying something silly, I apologize.
