Hmm.. I am against this, but, at the same time, I am not saying this approach is wrong.
The thing about copying comic book art, or copying art in general, is you're also copying, or worse, intensifying, the artist's mistakes or bad habits. There is not much creative processes to think about, not a lot of creative problems to solve.
My problem with this approach is: I, as an artist, don't want to be labeled as a copy-cat-'insert famous artist here'. And as a career choice, you don't want to be labeled as such as well. Why hire a copy-cat Jim Lee if Jim Lee can do it himself? You're setting yourself up to be a human copier machine.
... Or did I totally misinterpret how you're going to tackle it? Haha!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
