It's a mediocre artist making an attempt to replicate the "downsized" Kingpin of Netflix, I'd guess.

Are we sure that's the Kingpin? He appears to have Luthor's mechanical hand.

Because I don't find much in that panel attractive or exciting. The face in particular seems almost offensive.

Do you like it, or think that it suits superhero comics?

Except for the modern interpretation of the characters, not seeing anything there I don't like. Reads a bit as if Steranko and Mignola had a kid.

Certainly not "mediocre".
