Mongoose Basement Showdown: Comic Book Style

Vibrant comic book panel of a mongoose in a dim, humid basement. The mongoose stands on a wooden crate, fur slick with moisture, eyes sharp and determined. Bold, black ink outlines with high-contrast shadows and halftone dot shading. Flickering overhead bulb casts dramatic pools of light across exposed pipes, concrete walls, and scattered junk. Dynamic low-angle perspective with motion lines as the mongoose lunges forward; onomatopoeia like ZAP and CRACK in jagged comic lettering nearby. Colors punchy: teal blues and warm oranges, or classic monochrome with selective color accents. The mood is adventurous, a noir basement showdown in superhero comic style.
