I agonized for a while over the last panel, trying to decide whether to include that last word balloon or not. Obviously, as an artist, I like to have the art tell the story as much as possible, and in some ways, I thought Grissom’s trailing look alone accomplished the ambiguous scene ender I was going for. Ultimately, I thought it worked just a tad better with the text so I left it in, although it took a while to finally settle on that decision. Funny, the things you obsess about when doing a story.

The next several pages ended up being a nice exercise in silent storytelling though…
