V's Week One and Two Snippets


One of the things that stood out to me was on page 89. On the last panel it shows several cars driving away from flames ignited by the bombings. But, are the cars shown actually driving away from the flames? To me it is not clear which way each car is facing. Could they be driving into the flames as a foreshadow of their death?
Another thing that was interesting to me was on page 88. From the top of the page the dad asks the mom if she bought any "jerry cans." This evidently explodes into an argument with Marji and her dad. What struck me about this was on the next frame (with all the cars). If you look carefully at all the drivers faces, all of them are angry. Everyone you see in this frame have a cross look on their face except for Marji who has her head turned to look at the readers....
