The stuff at the back is literally fine. I said that in the tags.
is an unclose-able pop-up that completely kills the tension of the scene. I can't ignore it because it's literally covering the art. It's intruding on me actually being able to read the comic by covering the art. It's intruding on the pacing. It's intruding on the tension of the scene by distracting from what's actually happening.
The tension of this scene requires that I, the audience, be able to see and process the fact that I know what's coming and the characters don't. This requires that I see the image without anything interrupting Alinua's dialogue or trying to break me out of looking at the sentinel's hand.
Also one of the appeals of buying a physical copy would be getting a closer look at the art. I can't do that if it's covered by pop-ups.
My problem is the pop-ups wreck the diegesis of the comic and kill the tension by making it impossible for me to actually look at and concentrate on what's going on. It's easy to ignore the author's comments (safely under the comic page in its own little window) and alt-text (only viewable if one intentionally hovers over a page, which i can just not do) on the site because they're separate from the page itself and I can therefore ignore them. I cannot ignore a pop-up ad covering the art.
