The "new art" isn't all necessarily new. We have seen the upper panel previously
here, later in the flashback. Not sure about the lower panel. As is noted in one of the other threads here, Poe and Impy are rearranging some of the art (including whole panels) so that a one-to-one correspondence between new and old isn't 100%, and isn't just a matter of stuffing in some new art either. As in the other thread, that makes indexing a real pain. I've been doing some stuff in the HKV on that, and I'm getting dizzy.
I do hope that the locker-room scene is still used for the gossip about Meji blowing up the ice. That was a really well-conceived scene that gave a good sense of what the social dynamic was like and how Meji, surprise surprise, didn't fit into it well. I thought this was a very good arc in the original, and it would be hard to improve on. Of course, the need to spread out the dialogue, for dead-tree publication, requires that it be done. I just hope it works as well as the original.
