It's a swing and a miss!

We seem to be getting to the action a lot sooner than usual, which means that this will be a short story arc (or that we're in for some really great stuff later on down the line).  The only slightly confusing thing about this is the second panel.  The first and third seem like a likely progression: Ken takes a swing, Mark ducks, and as Ken turns his body, Mark leaps up and grabs him.  Adding in the second panel seems to give Mark some sort of superhuman ability to duck, jump up, and grab the wrist in a split second.  (Not that it couldn't happen, but still...)  Regardless, I must admit that I do like the action shadow surrounding the two hands.  (I only hope that I'm not mistaken and they're actually being attacked by a fiend instead.)  I think that Ken should give up now since he doesn't stand a chance.  He's got Mark behind him and the Jack Elrod Ball in front of him.  There's nowhere else to go (unless of course, Rabbit suddenly appears to even the odds, but I think that the days of Rabbit are over), so I would think that it would be better to graciously admit defeat and start working out your differences than to find yourself in the back of a police cruiser or ambulance, but I've been wrong before.
