Oh my god, if this script is wrong, I don't wanna be right. The last two panels made me burst out loud. The fact that Iceman is your pivot character is choice...it even works in my head with the movie casting...I love black humour...great stuff, Niel...
ReplyDeleteDitto to what RA said. This is a hilarious job of using their healing powers in a way I don't think I've seen before.
DeletePerfect page :)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Niel!
Some hilarious dark comedy here. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen a page makes another writer equal parts jealous and inspired you know you have a winner. This is just a pure genius piece of writing craft. Your characters, setting, premise and build up are all perfect. The three head shots with the countdown in particular really making the page pop for me.
ReplyDeleteOh and man captioning Deadpool at the end was a master stroke that put the biggest grin on my face.
