1. This
panel takes up the length of the page.
Wilson Fisk’s heavy desk sits in the middle of the page, with the Kingpin
sitting behind it. On the other side of
the desk stands one of The Kingpin’s guards.
Further back are two other guards.
The guard standing in front of the two is looking nervous. He is facing Kingpin after failing in one of
his tasks.
KINGPIN
After I have finished this sentence you will pull out
your gun and fire it at me.
2. A
close up of the guard. He is scared but
accepting of what is to come.
KINGPIN (off panel)
Do not hesitate or refuse or your family will
suffer. Do you understand?
GUARD
Yes sir.
3. A
close up of Kingpin.
KINGPIN
Good. Continue.
4. The
wide panel shown from the side again.
The guard is firing as Fisk stands, flipping the desk up.
5. A
close up of the guard as the desk rills on top of him.
6. Hands
are around the guards head, twisting it so his neck breaks.
SFX: SNAP
7. Fisk
is standing above the dead guard. The
two guards by his side.
KINGPIN
Call the police.
I really, really like this page. Shows how badass and terrifying Kingpin is. However, I'm confused by that final line. Why does he want the police involved? Is he just being funny? Or is it another challenge for himself?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a brutal page. Really highlights the machinations of Mr. Fisk and how badass he can be. Like the build and pacing.
ReplyDeleteLike Grant, I dig the brutality and suddenness of the page here BUT, like JD, I'm confused by that last panel too.
ReplyDeleteThe page is super brutal and intense perfect for the character.
ReplyDeleteI took the least panel to be that Kingpin was going to clam self defence against the guard who he had forced to fire him and have the police clean up his mess for him? is that the intension Ben?
You got it Shaun.
ReplyDeleteI figured this is how Kingpin stays off an arrest warrant. Whenever he needs to dispose of something he organises it, and cooperates fully within the lines of the law.
I did have trouble getting that last line, however.
That actually adds to the brilliance.
DeleteCheezus Crissmas. THAT is Wilson Fisk.
ReplyDeleteGreat page. I understood where you were going with the last panel.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would change is the line:
After I have finished this sentence...
As he speaks a few more sentences before making the man act, and Kingpin strikes me as someone who chooses his words very methodically.
That's just nitpicking though - great work!
