Manticore in a Mountain Valley: Comic Showdown

Illustrate a powerful manticore in a dramatic mountain valley, rendered in bold comic-book style. The creature has a leonine body with muscular limbs, a humanoid face with fangs, and a scorpion-like tail with a venomous stinger. Thick mane, razor claws. The valley features jagged alpine peaks, pine trees, a winding river, and misty air beneath a vivid sky. Use high-contrast inked linework with halftone shading, explosive action lines, and vibrant saturated colors. Dynamic low-angle perspective as the manticore roars, ready to strike, with stylized sound effects like ROAR and BOOM in bold lettering. Emphasize motion, energy, and a cinematic superhero/comic-book vibe.
