As far as a place to be left hanging, this was both the best and worst possible spot. I mean, the story is JUST starting to unfold and you are just beginning to feel like you are getting a feel for what’s happening. Then you have your “unwilling hero” apparently bleeding to death through events not in any way related to any of his goals. It’s the worst spot to be left hanging because so much is up in the air. However, you have to admit that it’s pretty much a tailor made cliffhanger spot. I don’t think you could have set it up better to cut off at this point if you had tried. Lol. And it was an excellent idea to go back to the beginning as a refresher.

Everything on this page is amazing. The emotions displayed in each character’s face throughout the page is superb. I especially like panel 3. The sweat pouring down Leon’s face, his expression, everything. I can just hear him speaking through the clenched teeth… Then, in panel 5, the expression and body language of Angelina as she at first thinks Leon is overreacting. Amazing.

And I will admit, there’s nothing for a little heart-to-heart like a hole in the chest. (Although, it looks to be a little more towards the pancreas and spleen here; no wonder he bleeds so badly.)
