A dark and bloody affair. It's like the Russian Nesting Doll of panel stacking up top! I really like the inking during that sequence and all the town details in the bottom left panel.
Storytelling masterclass in the top half of the page.
Yes, those I really like how first three panels expand to give a sense of motion.
The stacked panels are great! Just leaves enough for us to get what's happening in between panel 1 to 3. It's futuristic and alien, but it has all the shadows and darkness of crime noir stories we are all familar with.
A very lovely page. I really like the "cheat" of those first three "telescoped" / inset panels, as it makes it feel like the runner is approaching you at the same time as the camera is zooming in. Really fun technique! The fourth panel is a beautiful rendering of a classic sci-fi city - a nice slice of life - and then the final panel's extreme close-up gives us another fine burst of Dan's emotive brushwork. Just a really sweet page, F M - great post!
Nice analysis of the page. Agreed on the inset panel use for storytelling. That lower left panel really does a lot of work in setting out the scene, and it's very pleasingly composed as well.
I wonder if the murder had anything to do meatballs?
Incredible layout and art by Spiegle. One of my favorite artists. He had the perfect eye for drawing sequential art. The way the third panel opens up the scene to include more background and activity is done so smoothly.
As everyone else has said, the stacked panels are fabulous! I really dig the solidity that Spiegle always brings to his work. Everything always feels solid, as if it actually exists, like the shot in the 4th panel. He makes you believe that world could actually exist.
