This scene was written a little differently than it appears here, as I actually choreographed the entire fight. However, it's difficult to interpret movement and flow in a comic because the images aren't moving - they're still. Sequence and pacing play big parts in a fight scene, especially one like this.

I added some blood to the "wounds" that Sophia is inflicting for effect more so than anything. She's really not supposed to be doing much if any damage here. The script called for no blood, but I guess a lot of people were confused by the previous page's sound effects. I think that the fight that I have planned for him and Sophia and the swordsman in the Bushido story that I was writing will help show this a little better.

So Kidjo is a lumbering bully that really has no passion for the fight, so much as just beating the crap out of people. He likes to inflict pain, and when he can't then he just doesn't see the point.

But while this fight's going on, what's happening with Selphi…? Find out next week!

Have a great 4th of July, by the by!
