I thought it was really hard to read. I think LOSH#308 is the hardest comic to read ever, right along New Mutants#100 and WildCATS#6. Though Giffen is more talented but still.

JB - Does this mean you got money from Eclipse as a "design fee"?

There was a 1990's interview with George Perez in "Wizard" magazine where George said that one of his duties as an assistant to Rich Buckler was to find suitable swipes for Buckler to use.

Martin, I think back then Giffen wasn’t using gutters between panels, and that made it harder to read. I love how smooth and elegant his style was at that time, though.

Wow, some pretty blatant swiping by David Mack in this week's NEW AVENGERS #39 -

Why these people even get hired, I don't know.

Im sure it would be faster to draw the shots you need rather than trawl thru dozens of comics looking for the right pose to swipe!

Although the lavish attention the exact posing of the figures swiped perhaps raises some questions about the swiper's ability to draw originals.

Wow.  I'm speechless.  Especially about # 8: "What is sad about these three images?"

Most of it is all from the same comic Jim. Check this one out, the same hand is reswiped from the same panel:

I guess so many people have swiped this issue cause they figure it's forgotten? I remember someone once pointed out John Cassaday got the most milage out of Gen13 Ordinary Heroes which is the book being copied.

I wonder why only the hand is circled in red when most of the image is swiped.
