Way of the Undead Fist

This was a very interesting page for me as it was a last-minute addition.  Honestly the comic could have easily flowed from the previous page to the next one.  However after the apparent death of his protector, it struck me that how the Old Man responded to it was very important.  Had he not done anything I think that would have said something about his character.  I had to think, What would the Old Man do in this instance.  I realized that while I wanted to portray him as afraid, he was not a coward.  Sometimes when out of our element it can take a lot of time and marshaling of our resources and faculties to act.  What I loved is that by adding this page it changed subsequent actions later on, making them flow better.
