I don't know, seems like in your argument you're switching bad proportions with stylization. Humberto Ramirez doesn't have bad anatomy, he has a specific style. Same with Kirby and Steranko. The problem with the middle panel is that it is not consistent in it's perspective/anatomy with the other panels.
I just want to make sure that people understand that I liked most of the artwork. I just personally find that Cooke 1. needs to be penciling the right material for his style to work and that 2. when he is off, it really bothers me and takes me out of the comic. I understand it's not the same for everyone.
