It’s been a particularly busy week for me, and this next one coming up promises more of the same. So I don’t really have a ton to put out there this week, except that this page, here, is, well… I think we’re getting somewhere, here, don’t you?
I… I gotta get to bed. See you next week, folks.
Oh no, Zaballa. What have you done?
We’re going to find out!

I wonder… was MIKE hacked or maybe persuaded into doing what he did?
Hmm.
Even though the panels overlap slightly, I think there is still a minor flow problem with this page – I kept trying to go from top left to top right before I realised I was supposed to go top left, BOTTOM left, top right.
Somehow the panel border and overlap aren’t strong enough to suggest the desired flow, but if I may be so bold to suggest a quick fix?
Maybe Haulley’s “It makes no sense” bubble can be repositioned higher and Dacosta’s “Sir, I…” text could relocated to the first panel just under it? This would have the twinned effect of both forcing the reader down the desired path and adding more emphasis on Dacosta’s slight hesitation, since, in real life, the dialogue would go something like “sir, I…” *beat while Haulley turns to face her* “I think you should look at this”.
Also I think the tangence of the upper right’s panel corner with Dacosta’s hair is a wee bit distracting, but I’m imagining the panels are on different layers anyway, so it’s an even easier fix.
Just my two cents, please don’t shoot the messenger (even though in this case it’s also the originator of this message).
I appreciate the suggestion, and I’ll take it under advisement. It is rather a difficult layout, I admit.

Haulley’s face in the last panel reminds me of the “You don’t say?” meme.
Oh, the suspense!
