1. Close up of Hisako’s
eyes. They are closed. Her armour is not up.
CAPTION - Hisako
We've heard it time and time again – “it’s not your powers
that define you, but the way you choose to use them’.
2. Her eyes are open
now, with the psionic armour forming over them.
CAPTION - Hisako
I have impenetrable psionic armor. Impenetrable.
3. Hisako is standing
in the Jean Grey School’s gardens. She is
holding a bomb looking device in her hands with the armour forming over it as
well. The bomb is on the inside with
her. The countdown reads 00:00:02.
In the background Beast is holding back Logan as he is
trying to get to her. Beast looks sad,
but is accepting. Wolverine is anguished
– an arm stretched out towards her.
CAPTION - Hisako
That means nothing can get in.
4. Black panel.
CAPTION - Hisako
Nothing can get out.
Yeesh, this is a powerful page. It's a great inversion of Armor's usual use of her powers, but the background characterisation of Wolverine and Beast really packs a punch too.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, Ben...
ReplyDelete*sniff*
...just kinda hard to read while peeling onions...
Seriously, you broke me in 4 panels. Just...wow.
(slow clap + *sniff*)
That's tragedy right there.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one hit me hard. Well done.
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly my favourite thing I have ever read from you Ben. This feels like your writing firing on all systems. In just 4 panels you give us a gripping scene, set the stakes, show us character depth and connection plus hit us with a well deserved and real emotional punch. Top, top stuff sir.
