I wasn't familiar with the statue that was pictured in the thread earlier, so I had no idea of the connection. Looking it at, it is obvious that is what the Harbinger #14 cover is based on.ThrillKillWill wrote:I hate to be an *SQUEE*, but not quite, Bro. It is a direct rip of the Pieta Virgin. The dominance of the female form to show the frailty of the Mags Jesus character is the defining characteristic of the Pieta. As you can see in both of them, the female from is about 20-30% larger than the male. The covers on that link are not really similar in any way, where the female form is uncharacteristically large. Interesting side note, the left index finger of the Pieta has been broken several times and has been epoxied back on.Brother J wrote:it also follows in the footsteps of these comics...Elveen wrote:What about the Harby #14?

Not trying to be a *SQUEE*. Just making a correction. I feel like Mota.
