I confess that I'm making up the entire setting and visual effects as I go along. I'm working off a dialogue-only script that I wrote while imagining Fudo in a completely empty space talking to a disembodied voice.
After I turned it into a snowscape of sorts, I decided to give substance to the recollections by molding them out of the landscape. Now I have decided to start to turn things literally darker to go with the conversation, and frankly the visuals are creeping me out. I feel like this scene has taken on its own life. The scene itself was already a last minute addition to this arc.
(Oh, and some of this is recap of sorts, but don't look for this cop in the archives. He's part of Fudo's untold backstory.)

Well done on this sequence, I think it's one of your best, if not the best.

Wow. Thank you. :) I've really enjoyed planning and executing it.

If he does survive this whole ordeal, will he ever have to face justice for the folks he murdered I wonder?

Fair question. And is it better or worse than the alternative of self-imposed exile?

Your visuals are spot on and really reflect the story. What your talking about really was kind of used by John Bryne doing a snow storm scene. He used five blank pages with dialog in issue # 6 of Alpfa Flight, way back in the 80's.

I hadn't intended on a snowscape at all. It's a dream sequence so it doesn't really require physical rules. My plan was a figure on a blank page. But that was waaaay too boring. It might have worked for a page but not an entire scene. (I had considered displaying flashback images like they were projected on the air, but creating these physical statues seems to enhance the lonely feeling and the surrealism.)

Yep.
