DescriptionIn this penultimate page to the story (believe it or not), we witness quite the surreal moment in that the Flash gets verbally assaulted by two of the people he rescued from the mountain/avalanche.The first four panels is a sequence leading to the angry outburst of the ungrateful person Flash rescued. The second panel is particularly great with the close up on the angry mouth and for it shaky panel border that overlaps with other panels to suggest that the angry pressure is so close to exploding. The Flash’s more cartoony expression in panel 3 is also quite fun as he can’t believe what he is being reproached. Lastly, due to the different style Lightle went with in panels 2 and 4, his art reminds me of Ted McKeever or Randy Duburke in these. The horizontal flow in the fifth panel is so great with Flash’s head leaning to the right, followed by his hand and that of the Asian character to finally end with the angry person’s gesture. We then go to a small insert closing up on the Flash whose face is still a bit cartoony but clearly shows he is in a “I can’t believe all this” mode. The close up on his face in the before last panel is different altogether as Lightle draws him dead serious as he hammers down his argumentation. And in that last horizontal insert, you can tell the two persons who were angry with Flash saving them are coming to their sense slowly. It’s pretty clear for the person on the left side whereas the really angry one is still having a hard time about it but can’t seem to be able to refute Flash’s rationale. This is another example of Lightle using great acting to convey the (in)action, all of which is highlighted by his stark use of b&w and negative space to delineate the characters. Social/Sharing |

The entire story is replete with examples of great lighting technique. Believe it or not, the thing I like most about this page is the experimental Eddie Campbell-esque drawing/inking style in panels two and four!

Funny how people can act sometimes when they are helped without asking for it! Panel 2 angry face with the gritted teeth, I've seen that look before and it's usually followed up by some much fouler language! The smirk in that last panel is really great too. An excellently lit Lightle page, and I choose not to believe there's only 1 page left in the story! ;)

Lovely expressions in the fifth panel. Interesting to see such different inking styles on the two faces in panel one. Nice page!

Panels 2 & 4 resemble the work of John K Snyder. I think this was the story where I first noticed Lightle starting to evolve his style.

A lot more bleak and harrowing of a situation from the way the page is drawn. Lightle gives Flash's words more weight with those eyebrows and age lines around his eye.

Beautiful staging, storytelling, and (as the others have said) lighting at play here. Panel two is the immediate grabber here - a bit of visual gravel thrown into the blender to elicit a strong reaction from the reader (McKeever was the one I thought of, too!) and the thing I really like about it is how it feels like it's conveying a sense of the trauma that the character is just coming to terms with (having survived the ordeal of the last 20 pages). It's all starting to thaw, and with that comes the accusations being leveled against Flash here. The narrative flows smoothly - the storytelling is rock solid - and boy, do I love the stewing, simmering look of the dude in the last panel; glaring knives at Flash. Great art and artistry! Congrats, F M!
