1. First and most important: This image might be a spoiler. Although I'm familiar with FMA, I'm not sure if this is a big enough spoiler to be worth a pull. Opinions wanted on this.

2. The PWNED is pointless and unnecessary.

3. It clearly shows one guy shooting another. They look like they could be soldiers. However, there's nothing to suggest that they're on the same side, or that the shooter is later going to pass it off as a casualty.

Maybe it's the black-and-white coloring, but I see no indication that these guys are on the same side.

And yes, the "PWNED" gives this a certain memetic tinge to it that we don't want.

Wow, that was a terrible image.

Suggesting this. It's the same scene, but presented better. I guess I can crop out even more panels, but let's see them altogether for a start.

If that's going to be the page image, it will need to be mirrored so it reads left to right.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

Oh yes, sorry about that. I just don't know how to do it. >.<

It's not too hard. You take out the dialog, flip it left-right, then put the dialog back in. Can be done easily in MS Paint. Like so.

Um, any opinions or other options on this?

It's been too long since I've read that chapter of FMA to remember if that's a spoiler or not...I don't have any issues with it beyond that.

It's not a spoiler since both are very minor characters, two or three chapters at most.

Should I crop out anything else or is all of it fine?

Well, it might lessen the shock of when the event actually happens... but the character getting shot is such a minor bit-part character that the entire sequence in question was excised from Brotherhood entirely - if that means anything. He had little to no bearing on the overall plot, other than to show how god-awful that war was (being the We Have Reserves guy).

Still looks like one dude murdering another dude. Only the text indirectly indicates they're on the same side. Ok example but as a page image it's worse than nothing. Doesn't "help" the article.

Text reinforces and supports an image. And no, it's not worse than nothing.

Yes, but in this case, the support is pretty weak.

Clock's up, and since we don't have enough consensus on the FMA pic, let's just lock and move on.
