this is the most bizarre use of panelling I've ever seen, it doesn't add anything, it even interrupts the word bubbles! And Van Helsing's word bubble is ALREADY drawn to indicate the order of her response. It's obviously drawn as 1 panel that was for some reason just split into two

(From Van Helsing vs Robyn Hood #3, Zenescope Entertainment)

a picture from Van Helsing vs Robyn Hood #3 comic book showing Van Helsing (woman in steampunk goggles and corset with belts and a leather jacket) talking to a black man in glasses

She says "If you ask me again, I'm going to stab you in the leg with one of these stakes."

He says "I'll shut up now."

Her word bubble follows, attached to her first word bubble with a lengthy strip to indicate it comes after his response.

She responds "So what is Von's Endgame in all this?"

The two are drawn standing together and talking to each other, and clearly ONE PANEL, but it is split into 2 panels with the panel line interrupting the word bubble line of the black man's.

@ami_angelwings The only time I've seen anything remotely like that is in newspaper comics, but the panels are sequential moment that just happen to be integrated into adjacent parts of the background.
