This makes more sense when you look at actual covers.
There may be a fight in the cover... but that fight is not the fight itself, it's more of a represenation of the fight.

The problem comes when artists only ever want to do covers, they have no interest in interior work, and so when they are forced to draw panels... they make them into covers as much as possible.

This is doubly compounded by the fact that comic artists tend not to be paid very well and so having a portfolio of covers and generally cool looking drawings that they can sell in isolation is a source of money for them so they do it more.
