Chapter: 1
YISUN on the conquering king:
A conquering king must come with violence in his self of selves. He must splay the guts of his enemy with no weapon but his hearstrings. His lips must spit sweet music that pulverizes his enemies, and his eyes must tell a brain-cleaving tale of loveliness. He must quench the sword of his tongue in the love of his enemies.

The early pacing here is great because each panel makes the scene easier to read before the bigger reveals hit. That kind of visual clarity is why strong image tools and strong comics both feel memorable even before the details stack up.
The page has a strong sense of motion; the panel flow makes it easy to imagine the scene as an animated sequence. Great early chapter beat.
