This was a really fun segment to do. It was great to really open up on the inks and have some fun and be sloppy. I'm overall really happy with how this turned out.
When I was writing the script, I actually got on Google Maps and plotted out the course that these two took for the chase. I knew I wanted it to start at the Majestic, and then I had them go through back alleys and side-streets and wind up in the Quality Hill area. Then I planned out the trajectory of the bullet to have it end up just by Bartle Hall.
For the chase, I switched to vertical panels rather than my normal horizontal, to give the rhythm of the chase a greater sense of urgency. To me, it feels more chaotic having these tall strips of action that feed into one another, and then paying off with the big double-page spread.
I'd originally planned this to be another four to ten pages, but cut quite a bit since it felt like it was taking up quite a bit of real estate in the book, as I'd cut down several other scenes as well. But the book has been really text-heavy up to this point and it felt good to air it out here.
