Red Hulk - Through discipline... - Brian Manton
P1
Wide. A site of devastation - A small city in the aftermath of the Hulk. The National Guard head the emergency relief.

This would be a perfect opening page for a much deeper story. It makes the reader want to fill in the holes. It made me want those panels connected.
