(6 Panels)
PANEL 1: AGENT V holds up a Neuralyzer and points it
at V.
AGENT V: My apologies. If you’d just look here, I’ll be out
of your way in just a moment.
PANEL 2: V throws a dagger that goes straight through
AGENT V’s Neuralyzer and knocks it out of his hand.
AGENT V: $#*^!
PANEL 3: V charges at AGENT V and slams him against a
wall; the end result is that V pins AGENT V against the wall with a blade
against V’s neck.
V (1): How very vexing.
V (2): If you wish your life to not be void, it would be
verily suggested to vanquish the mystery as to what venue you originate from.
PANEL 4: AGENT V keeps his clam as he looks at V.
AGENT V (1): Seems the rumors were true. A masked man
running around London stabbing people.
AGENT V (2): Release me and maybe we can talk.
PANEL 5: V decides to chance it, stepping away but
keeping his knife pointed in AGENT V’s direction.
AGENT V (1): That’s better.
V: Start talking.
PANEL 6: AGENT V composes himself as he tells V more
than he knows he probably should.
AGENT V (1): I’ll cut to the short version.
AGENT V (2): I’m part of a secret unaligned organization tasked
with monitoring and handling extraterrestrial life living here on Earth.
AGENT V (3): The folks who currently run the UK? For years
they’ve been working with a nasty group of aliens called ‘The Visitors’ which
have managed to thwart us at every turn.
AGENT V (4): I’m here on recon because we think they’re
getting ready to reveal themselves, which would blow a lid on our entire
operation and ruin everything we’ve worked towards for decades.

(Yes, I did write this
page simply as an excuse to throw together a bunch of ‘V’s.)
This actually works out surprisingly well for a crossover idea. Still gimmicky, sure, but it could turn out not bad. Also, Men in Black was originally a comic book too.
ReplyDeleteI'm well aware that MiB started as a comic book, but I'm also aware that I'd probably be a lot happier trying to write anyone from that franchise as being closer to the film versions than the comic version (Because apparently the comic book versions of the MIB are a bunch of evil jerks).
DeleteWhat, no Thomas Pynchon?
ReplyDeleteThomas who?
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V. - good novel, though a bit of a slog at points..."Kilroy was here" originated from the book...why do I feel like I'm carbon dating myself again?...
