Bah. I just saw the pencil sketch on newsarama.com ..
It looks like they hired some artists who've been doing more manga /
anime (or american knockoffs thereof) .. look at the shape of the eyes,
the hairstyles etc.
No, it really doesn't look like manga to me, particularly not the shape of
the eyes, the hair, etc. While manga styles vary greatly, manga artists tend
to draw more stylized people. This looks more like they're moving away from
the cartoon style toward the DC/Marvel style. The inner page, at least. The
cover illustration is badly drawn, and coloured atrociously.
Here are some examples of drawing styles from popular manga:
