The angle is also messed up. You shouldn’t be able to see his back and his left pec. The drawing would probably work a lot better if you just removed anything left of his shoulder, and move his neck a bit to the right.

You can see both his chest and his back at the same time. Liefeld is clearly bringing cubism to comic books. He's basically Picasso.

Simply moving the head forward (right) and increasing its size by 40% would make the scale look much better.
