Kick Ass – Once You Pop - Shaun Richens


PAGE TWENTY-ONE – 5 PANELS.

All page wide panels.

21.1
A large clenched fist rockets into the side of KICK ASS’s jaw knocking it off centre. A spray of blood and saliva erupt from Kick ass’s mouth.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
I’m reminded of when I read Old Man Logan.

21.2
Kick ass is doubled over as a second fist connects with his stomach in a thundering uppercut.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
When I saw what it took to make Wolverine stop poppin’ his claws, it made me wonder.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
What would take to make me give this up?

21.3
The elbow of a second attacker is being driven down into the spine of Kick ass as he tries to get back to his feet. His jaw bloodied and bruised.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
The answer terrified me.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
The clear realisation that there’s only one way I’d ever stop.

21.4
From Kick ass’s POV looking up at a crowd of attackers surrounding him. Some of them have their boots raised off the ground ready to come crashing down on to his skull.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
The only end to this career path is the one luxury Logan never had.

21.5
Black Panel.

CAPTION KICK ASS:
Death.

  1. I like how you evoke Kick-Ass's own comic fandom, and there's something powerful in his realisation, but you could get that across without the final caption, and just let the readers come to that conclusion themselves.
