Just write the gayest shit you can think of, everyone will be too afraid of losing their job to call you out on it.

Write good dialogue, draw good expressions. Use the surrounding environment and certain techniques for effect.

You have to, though. It can't be all action.

you can have the characters doing something while they talk, like walk or work on a car or whatever, just moving around a room is better than this.

In the 90s you would just have 1 or 2 big panels with tons of connected dialogue balloons. It was better that way

This is just poor paneling. Most modern artists are like this because they watch TV and movies as their inspiration for art instead of books and comic strips.

This feels more like the script he was handed honestly. Writer probably wanted a 3x3 grid because he read Watchmen once, many such cases

Talking during training is as gay as talking during fights. Don't do that retarded shit.

Be Giffen & Dematteis, nobody ever made it work half as good as they did. Writers can't get the dialogue and artists don't get the changes they need to make for each panel.

Good dialogs and good directing. Change angles, demonstrate though them power dynamic or tension on the scene, or focus on interesting details like nervous ticks or something, or show something else going on in the background/meantime...
You know, the basics that are beyond modern hacks

Wally Wood depicted the solution many decades ago.
