The biggest problem I noticed with this page is in panel four, where Bob grabs Evil Bad Guy Ninja. There's a "snap" sound effect. This is only intended to be a sound indicating that Bob has grabbed him, but it has probably been mistaken all this time for Bob breaking Evil Bad Guy Ninja's bones. He's really just supposed to be grabbing him, but if anybody has ever thought that Bob was snapping Evil Bad Guy Ninja's spine here, I apologize. That is not the intent.

Also on this page, we see Stu and Evil Bad Guy Ninja start to accumulate a lot of battle damage. Their gis are all ripped up, and they've got cuts and burns all over them. As I said in a previous commentary, I do love the visual impact of battle damage, but it does require a lot of focus and continuity-checking to make sure it looks consistent and stays in the right place.

I like Bob's word balloons. They're rougher and angrier and appear to be dripping with vitriol. There definitely is no confusion as to who is speaking.
