We pointed out the other week, how Scott Snyder had given his protagonists a similar fate in subsequent issues of Swamp Thing and Batman. A stabbing-from-behind-through-the-torso motif if you will.

Well, it looks like Geoff Johns, in subsequent issues of Justice League (last week) and Aquaman (next week), is going for the breakage-to-arm motif.

Something tells me that this touchy feely store owner won't be able to create a cast from will power.

Geoff Johns owns a comic store you know. I hope this isn't based on anyone he knows…

In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you are unable to do so, please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. The Swipe File doesn't judge, it's interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously, as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal who originally ran this column, as well as the now defunct Swipe Of The Week website.
