The Horror in Our Lives
Liz and Dennis find each other after the explosion at the hotel. She's talking about cowboys and dwarves, not too coherent. He's seen that before, in Vietnam. And he likes her that way: scared and vulnerable, "the way a woman should be." If all they have is "horror in their lives", he's happy to have the horror if it means he has her. He takes her by the hand, and they run into the woods, just in time to escape the notice of...
...Henry and his partner, who are the ones who set the bomb. A little too much explosive, apparently, they can't find bodies, just bits. They're assuming Liz and Dennis are dead.
Meanwhile, surrounding the woods, the uniformed men are setting up a "halo of light" and arming themselves with flame. TST moves deeper into the center, talking to the dead Arcane. "Aren't they ... going to leave any darkness... for us, Arcane?"
LAYOUT
all full-width horizontal panels, six to a page, so not very tall. So that's not very interesting, but in each of the four corners, a quarter-circle has been reserved for the head of an eagle. The two on the bottom of the page are upside down. All directions are being watched; there's no escape.
TEXT
At the page break, the final words of a scene are written on the first panel of the next scene. That technique's been used frequently, drawing connection, showing overlapping and interweaving. A bit awkward for me, as I'm reading only a page at a time.
