Just thought something might brighten this one up, Bradley being able to dodge a firearm wielding opponent and cut him in half seems to show some mastery.

I'd recommend using this thread. The page currently does not have an image

[up]Oops, I should have checked the edits. Regardless, I'm not a big fan of the image.

I gave the image in 6 another couple of passes to see if I can improve wiki size readability:

10.1:

10.2:

10.3, first two panels swapped around for left to right instead of right to left reading order:

We could potentially use the OP on Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight. The current is kinda weak.

I do think if we are going for something that is tell rather then show, then I think this is a bit cleaner in composition. (From the Rurouni Kenshin manga pilot)

The whole thing doesn't look great at wiki size but also looks fine with the left half cropped out as well.

If I was at my computer I'd blow up the text some like I did with the manga page I used on Evolutionary Pressure Cooker.

I thought about using Kenshin as well; this one doesn't have text but it might still be harder to parse as a swordfight

[up][up][up] [tup] I actually think the more abstract visuals convey the “master” aspect well.
