Midnight Assassin in a Neon Town Square

An elusive assassin stands in a bustling town square at dusk, rendered in bold comic-book style with thick ink lines, high-contrast shadows, and dynamic motion lines. The figure wears a long black trench coat, a sleek mask, and concealed blades glinting at the wrists. Pose is dramatic, one leg forward, cloak sweeping, as rain beads on cobblestones. Surrounding the plaza are ornate facades, a central fountain, street lamps glowing in electric cyan and magenta, and a crowd of astonished townspeople frozen mid-movement. The scene uses halftone textures, exaggerated perspective from a low angle, and caption boxes to convey suspense and a hint of danger. Energy and color pop with neon accents; cinematic, stylish, and noir-inspired.
