This one, on the other hand?  I cannot see the Byrne in the final for the life of me.  The approach to the musculature, the treatment of the light source, the complete redrawing of the face, etc.  I love Palmer, but he's really meant to work on layouts.  Giving him reasonably finished pencils like the above, which is (I think) deliberately impressionistic but still full of detailed visual information just results in the loss of the original work and creation of a new one in its place.  He's changing and adding details in places where the original pencils deliberately elide them (the abdominals and rock face) and eliminating details where the original pencils are quite clear (the Kirby crackle).  

All of that would still leave some Byrne showing, but ignoring many of the lighting cues - one of JB's real 'tells' - just hides the original completely.  In the original pencils, you can see that the primary light source is very clearly coming from below (shadows on the face, cast shadows on the left foot and right leg, etc.).  Palmer discarded those and went for a more ambient source that makes it difficult to tell just where the light is supposed to be coming from, so a lot of the internal logic of the original drawing is lost (to me).  

I can see how some would see it as an improvement - Palmer's line and tone is LUSH as FUCK and very appealing, and I think he's technically a superior inker (as in artist who works in ink) to JB.  But this is a case where I prefer the original.
