"The process for this page was an unusual choice on how to indicate location," Williams tells. "We didn't have much room to show a traditional location shot and still get the other story information into the scene without it becoming cramped.

This is all reinforced by our villain's deployed drone that moves around the page, spying in on the scene. The result is a unique presentation."
