I could’ve used an extra panel there, before the very last panel, to show the tiger-bot clambering onto the tree and Zahra repositioning herself, but I didn’t have the space. These pages are actually 3 strips stacked onto one another. That format was fast, but very restricting when it came to composition. I also use this as the moment to introduce the grappling hook feature of Zahra’s shield, which in retrospect comes out of left field. In the rewrite, Zahra tests this as she wakes up and collects her equipment in the very beginning of the story.
