Jim Lee: Ripping himself off and actual iconic couples (Lois & Clark in For Tomorrow, Bruce & Selina in Hush) because Superman and Wonder Woman are either not inspiring enough to be iconic in their own right yet, not inspiring enough to get his creative juices flowing, or both. I’m not sure. Regardless of how consciously and deliberately he made his artistic choices, one wonders what this says about Mr. Lee. Is he a hack, a one trick pony, or all of the above?
I’m not really a fan of Jim Lee, but I don’t really have a problem with how he’s reused poses. At least, unlike Liefeld, he has some talent.
