I’m old enough to remember when the original Terminator movies, with a very young Arnold Schwarznegger first arrived in the movie theaters. One of the many scenes that stuck in my head from those films was when the terminator arrives from the future in a bubble of energy. The bubble cut a circle into the ground and cut away anything else that intersected with its energy.  I wanted the last panel to have that same look, but I hadn’t quite figured out how to make it work. I may come back and revise this page if I decide to gather Origins into a graphic novel….
I got the “Terminator Time bubble” feeling right away. So i think it works like this.
Looks good, I got what you were going for right away.
agreed with above, its very obvious and apparent. in fact, if I ever get chapter two of my comic running, this page will be sent to the artist for a how too, because I have a very similar scene with a building being cut away by a large teleportation bubble
And yes, the moment I saw it, I thought of that scene as well. Well done.
