I was never opposed to digital art, but an example like this really sells it! Sometimes, when I’m facing my own reflection and what lies beyond in a dark window, I think back on this page and how difficult it must be to pull off an effect like that and what possibilities it offers for artists and filmmakers.

yes, correct.
… aaahh… because she was of course leading the effort, and therefore far in front of everyone, right in the face of the hammertank which is also depicted on the other side?
(I know how plausible that sounds …)

Nicely spotted.

I just noticed the fresco on the tower’s outside wall (or I did not remember).
And as pointed by the author above, yep, there is one glaring exception in the heroes being represented.

Also I love the shift in camera/viewpoint focus between panels 2 and 3.

Yeah, Syr was still adjusting Byron’s meds at that point.

It’s true, Bandit COULD be on the other side, but that’d still raise the question of why she was put there and not with the others.

I don’t quite remember it, because even in the rerun this is some time ago: I guess Syr N’j and Byron where not present at that battle, right?
To be fair, though, there’s nothing saying that Bandit wouldn’t show up on the other side of the building (except the fact of course that she’s not super-welcome in Gnometown, of course, even though she played an important role in that fight.
