@Charmeleon: this is not a spiderman thread

@Syder: Or he's bending his arm around backwards and it's actually in front of the sword. Furthermore, his hand's in back of the sword, which lends credibility to this interpretation.

@Anonymous: Don't think so. For so many reasons. One being it doesn't look to me like his hand is "in the back of the sword." Another being that that would not be a logical way to hold a sword with the blade behind your arm. And yet another being that even if that were the case and he was holding the blade behind his arm for some reason I don't think he could get his elbow and wrist to both cooperate in order to achieve the respective positions they would have to be in for the (i'm sure intentionally) crude drawing to be holding the sword like that.
