Here is a sequence of the character making a leap then making a controlled landing but sadly the comic doesn't read this confirmation appropriately. Furthermore she is also meant to be firing arrows as it is suggested by the quiver of arrows on her back. However the action shown is her releasing the the arrows is ambiguous. There is no clarity in what projectiles were being used.
We also get the impression that the characters are in close proximity of each other.
There is lack of clarity about what sharpshooter does in panel 5 and a lack of identity to who holds the hammer.
This analysis's Stan Lee makes is to emphasis how important clarity is. I found this extract to be quite helpful in understanding how clear you need to be to your reader in order to tell your story.
In short, He highlighted some examples of how comic illustration were not clear at convey certain information.I believe that I should be aware of as I develop my comic project.
