Ghede: Guerrier Extraordinaire #7: Pages 1-2

Page 1, 7 Panels- Avain's Dhom, In-Between Panel 1: We open to a shot of Avain back on the Dhom as all the action and drama of the previous issue has gone on. At this point, we see the good captain locked in a steady block of ice with his Tridentis a handful of steps away from the ship's main complex, which appears somewhat on the left side of the panel view. No sign of the lush tropical background that we've associated with the In-Between can be readily seen behind him, outside of a painting of light brown.

It all coincides with a loud, primal yell from Avain who regains full use of his extremities. The layout of the shot is such that we see only the sky rather than any part of the ground below.
