Super Heroes and Comic Book Cover Art

Some super heroes standing around as though they were posing for a photograph. 


Super-types seem to do a lot of that, especially on the covers of their comic books nowadays. Used to be they would be in action on the cover, presumably the publisher's way of catching your eye and drawing you in. Now that they've given up on attracting the casual reader, the covers are basically just tiny posters. Usually poorly drawn, too. Compare for yourself.


This cover makes me want to know who the Queen Bee is, how she managed to make these powerful super heroes her slaves, why she's doing it, and how the Justice League will prevail.


These girls just seem to be confused as to why they're there. They certainly aren't interacting with each other or anything else. I won't even bother noting the bad perspective and incorrect anatomy. Whoever drew this needs to actually look at some women before making another attempt at drawing them.
