Wow! Great page.
My opinion:
No blur fx please in panel 4.
SE is static, he's already waiting for Nico. Thus no big movement indicated.
Inserting a panel might violate the full script that Robert might have had. Guessing here, but a I know the realities of a comic artist.
Lastly, GREAT storytelling on this page.
Looketh a panel 2 where we have a more "static" angle with the even horizon which indicated that Nico is slowed down running up the stairs. Panel 1 and 3 have a tilted horizont indicating dynamic, emotionality and confusion. Also, in 1 and 3 the character fills out the panel and get's closer to us, while in panel 2 we pan back and give the panel a wee bit more time: Positioned at the bottom Nick still has to climb the stairs and our eye is directed up moving along the stairs and only after that we may proceed to panel 3. Yes, details - but details that show excellent storytelling. Inspiring.
Not mentioning great linework and such here. Thanks for sharing this!

would a panel inset between panel 3 and 4 of the the blade coming up help with that story telling? or maybe the colorist adding a blur affect to the sword in panel 4?
