Nemesis - Page Analysis

I've chosen to analyse the very last page of the 4th comic. In it we get a glimpse of the man pulling the stings behind Nemesis as he sits on a secluded beach sipping on a glass of red wine.

Character
The one and only character visible in this page is the man behind Nemesis. He is essentially the main antagonist of the serise, Nemesis being his puppet, a vessel  for his horrendous deeds. Just from the brief glimpse that's shown I see him as being a suave, self-satisfied man. He has a self satisfied smirk on his lips as he takes the first sip of his wine. It's quite arrogant of him in a way to send that bottle of wine to Blake and to sit on a beutiful place sipping the same bottle of wine at the same moment in time as Blake and his wife.

The only other character slightly present is the waiter who has the line "..... he delivered these 10 years ago." It just goes to show how insanely clever and manipulative the man in the chair is. He had to manipulate Blake's choices somehow so that he would end up at that resort on that exact day.

Setting
He's some ways away from Blake, evident that they're in different time zones. The setting informs the character further. He's a little clichéd and for lack of a better term, pompous. It seems clichéd to sit on a secluded beach (which he more than likely owns) sipping wine and watching the sun set to celebrate outsmarting a man he never even met.

Mise-en-scene
There's the obvious connection of the bottle of wine he's sipping and the one he sent to Blake. They probably are the same kind of wine. On the previous page the lighting of the restaurant, even though it's the blackness of night outside, is a similar orange to the setting sun he sits in front of. This further connects the 2 characters and settings.

Shots

1. Establishing shot of the secluded beach and ocean.
2. Extreme close up of the wine and mans lips.
3. Wide shot of the area

The shots are very obscured, giving us only glimpses of the man behind Nemesis. The artist is keeping the unseen villain unseen. Nemesis was scary, yet often cool and I even rooted for him at points through out the comic. However, this man is much more terrifying than Nemesis could ever be and part of that is that he's never fully seen. This end page is using a basic fear of the unknown to full effect and not letting you see who was destroying lives all around.
