I'd say it's Rob Liefeld except that I see a foot.

All of the anatomy oddities look like they are on purpose though.

They'd have to be, but why? Is it critique? Parody? Celebration? I personally find these exaggerated styles ugly and distracting. The impossible anatomy and messed up angles just distracts from the visual harmony of a well constructed panel.

Stylization. The exaggerated muscle look was very popular in 90s comics. So popular that a number of Marvel's illustrators (including Liefeld) were able to break off and make their own successful company.

I remember when it came in. I didn't get/like it then either.
