Fair use for Skein (comics)

The image Skein.gif is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I ( GentlemanGhost) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a comic book panel;
2. it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the comic book in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book;
4. the panel in question illustrates a noteworthy aspect of the character Skein (comics), specifically, her current look, which has changed significantly from her previous incarnation as Skein (comics);
