SPLASH PAGE.
1. TASKMASTER in this costume, stands in the
centre of a bank vault. At his feet, unzipped and over flowing with cash are
two duffle bags. His hands are raised in the air, his two pistols thrown to the
floor. Standing in the foreground and doorway to the bank vault are a SWAT team
in full gear, their guns trained on TASKMASTER.
SWAT LEADER:
Hands in the air.
TASKMASTER:
What are
the chances of you guys believing me when I tell you that I don’t remember how I got in here?
Awesome splash page, Shaun! It builds nicely on Fred Van Lente's time with the character, while also telling it's own little story. I could see this as the first big splash in a Taskmaster miniseries that would involve him trying to figure out just how he did end up there. Really like it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very cool take on the classic "locked room" mystery. It has a bit of the old Maxwell Smart panache.
ReplyDeleteNice image and concept. I'm not too familiar with the Van Lente stuff but as R.A mentioned it's a nice riff on the locked room trope.
