Look at this page from Thief of Thieves #2, by Robert Kirkman, Nick Spencer, Shawn Martinbrough & Felix Serrano. Don’t read it. Look at it.
What happened on that page? A guy took a drink. A guy took a drink and a lady said dialogue while in the same pose and with her face stuck in the same expression for the entirety of their conversation. That was it.
This, right here? This really irritates me. Comics are words and pictures. When a writer does this (and I’d be willing to put money on the script calling exactly for this), he diminishes the role of the artist. The artist is now essentially a story-boarder, his pictures merely a backdrop for the all-important words. It’s one panel, copied and pasted three times with another panel with a few things shifted around on it. This is what you paid money for. It’s not engaging, it’s not interesting, it’s not telling me anything besides “We just reused the art like it was a background on The Flintstones.”
It’s lazy storytelling; plain and simple. It’s lazy and I hate it.
