Plagiarism and copycat thread

This is a thread where you post panels and covers that either blatantly or implicitly rip off other, older panels/covers.

I'll start off with one I just noticed:

Anyone got some other good ones?

Not really a rip off of a specific cover/panel, but it more than speaks for itself.

Who is that, Pulk?

Lawl... Pulk.

Smash is his actual name, iirc. I think he grows bigger as he gets angrier.

He looks suspiciously like the Infraggable Krunc from Justice Friends. Anyone remember that?

lol thats a pretty standard "Jesus pose" used in paintings that predate the Watchmen by a couple of centuries.

I don't think paying homage to something past is plagiarism, really. Sometimes it's just making a deliberate echo in the mind of the reader.

Take this cover from She Hulk - it's taking off on the famous James Bond poster 'For Your Eyes Only', with that pose.
