I'm pretty sure I don't like it because I have no idea how the momentum Spider-Boy clearly has is going to connect him to that wall that is, well, five inches from his face.

In terms of ridiculous poses someone with Spider powers has been shown in, this one seems relatively tame. Like Larsen or McFarlane have definitely committed much more egregious crimes of human anatomy.

I always love art that makes great use of contrast like this. A lot of comic book art is almost entirely focused on contours rather than light and shadow but the approach shown above I think is so much more dynamic. There's not really a line AROUND anything

I think there's an argument for Batman's cape but the line around the bottom is really negative space.

That is some botched-rear end perspective alright. The two heroes who are talking to each other literally switch sizes in the first two panels.

Android Blues

I dunno, I think the dynamic composition makes up for the perspective weirdness. It's really only the row of guys in the middle distance who look too small, and I think you could make the basic layout of the figures work fine if you added some contrast to communicate the depth better. The fact that the floor has relatively even value and the way the shadows fall makes it look like they're about six feet from the lady in front, which is what it makes it weird.

Don't know enough about inking to say why but that is a great page.

It reminds me, does anyone else not like when a comic book panel has a character reacting "wrong" to a punch? That page is exactly what I'd expect but sometimes I'll see a character throw a right hook but the other person's head will snap to their left. It's not satisfying, doesn't feel correct.

Can someone more educated in figure drawing/anatomy explain why Wolverine looks like he's a dwarf/midget/little person? Like, there's no background to give me a size reference, but dude looks like he's all of 3' 6" for some reason. I know he's supposed to be short by hero standards but not that short.

Heads too big for the size of the torso/shoulders, no neck, and the arms appear too short due to bad foreshortening.

I think it's because of how many heads tall he looks. The perspective is wonky, but it's also about two heads to his groin, and most figure drawing is about 4 heads to the groin. So instead of being like 7 heads tall he's only like 4.

Well, for one, I can't tell if the artist was attempting foreshortening or just... shortening. Normally if limbs are squished like that it's for perspective reasons because they are coming right at us but it's not obvious that Wolverine is striking towards the reader or he's doing that Judd Nelson freeze frame fist bump at the end of The Breakfast Club.

No part of his arm appears to overlap, nor does it get bigger as it comes towards us, so either it's pointing up and is weirdly short with no shoulder muscles, or it's an attempt at perspective with the kind of mistakes that literal beginners make, like the most absurdly amateur composition that no professional artist should ever be permitted to make.
