Boomerang - Easy as Pie - Simon McDonald

Panel One
Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier. Boomerang is wielding Captain America's iconic shield, surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. He looks confident. He always does. Usually right before his plans fall apart.

CAPTION (1)
These guys, right?
 
CAPTION (2)
The worst.

Panel Two
Boomerang changes his stance, preparing to throw Cap's shield.

CAPTION (1)
But they're not going to stop me.
 
CAPTION (2)
This thing? Priceless.
 
CAPTION (3)
But, yes, I will be accepting offers.

Panel Three
The shield has been thrown, is cutting through a line of agents as it flies from his arm.

SFX (several)
Oof!
Argh!
Gah!
Argh!
 
CAPTION
Easy as pie.

Panel Four
From behind Boomerang's perspective. The shield is still going, knocking down agents, but it's a long way gone now.

CAPTION
Easy as...

Panel Five
It's now a speck. Boomerang's stance has changed. Dejected. It's not coming back. The S.H.I.E.L.D agents are getting back to their feet.

CAPTION
...
 
Panel Six
All the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are standing again. Guns pointed at Boomerang. Chin down. Defeated.
 
CAPTION
(small)
... pie.
 
BOOMERANG
(small)
Dammit.

  1. Oh, yeah! There are so many reasons that I love this page: the smug overconfidence, the fact that Cap's shield is useless to anyone but Cap and his closest, the dejected "dammit" as the plan goes awry...Great script, Mr. McD.
