River Runs Through the Comic Mall

Inside a modern shopping mall's vast atrium, a crystal-clear river flows through the marble floor, water splashing around escalators and neon storefronts. Rendered in bold comic-book style with thick black ink outlines, bright flat colors, and halftone shading. Dynamic two- and three-point perspective, dramatic skylight lighting, and energetic action lines around the water. Shoppers react in astonishment as a superhero in a cape navigates the river on a floating board; speech balloons and panel borders hint at a graphic-novel page.
