PAGE 4 - 4 PANELS
1. A S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier fills the sky as we look up at it. Someone whom we cannot see yet speaks within the vehicle.
Voice: You're kidding, right?
2. Nick Fury looks down and out of the helicarrier, the wind from the open door whips his hair around a little.
Fury: You ever known me to kid, Drake?
3. Bobby Drake, the Iceman of the X-Men, looks down next to Fury - this panel might as well be the next section of the same image from Panel 2, just separated with a panel gutter.
Drake: I've never actually known you, sir.
4. We now look down at the helicarrier from above and see it is above pure green and blue ocean.
Fury: Well, I can assure you this isn't some practical joke cooked up by that blue doormat you call an intellectual superior.Fury: You're to go down there and figure out what happened.Fury: Maybe even fix it if you can, sure be appreciated.
And thus begins a crazy spy trip into an iceless North Pole where Atlantean scientists have made a big mistake.
Merry Xmas, one and all.
So, how much of the world is covered by water now? Where is Santa? Is Nick Fury Santa? Why am I asking such stupid questions?
ReplyDeleteOh those Atlanteans, what have they done now?
ReplyDeleteNice script and I liked the interplay between Bobby and Fury (which sounds like a 70's singing duo now I read that aloud), especially:
"I've never actually known you, sir."
I really want to know how the Atlanteans f*cked up though. Haha.
Liked the dialogue too (though I'm sure Bobby and Nicky must've had a few run ins by now). I half expected this to go all climate-change serious, but I guess you were going for the fun angle instead... which is probably for the best. Much as the fate of the North Pole concerns me, I hate it when comics go all real-world-messagey.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff, Ryan. The dialogue is nice and quick, and the premise would make for a fine Marvel holiday issue.
