On page twenty-three, Ryan took fewer liberties with the script, but what's interesting are the changes between the layouts and the finished art. Only one panel is added: the final panel, closing the chapter on the closeup of Buffy's cuffed hands - a more dramatic ending than the medium shot in the layouts.

Ryan gave the first panel more room, and directed the headlights towards us, giving a more dramatic chiaroscuro - clearly his speciality. Note how panels two through four are stacked in a more complex arrangement than in the roughs, but the compositions within the panels lead the eye through the layout, through the use of foregrounded elements and angles.
