Spider-Man 2099
Panel One
Miguel, in costume, mask in hand, is walking away from Dana, Net Prophet and
Xina. He storms towards the reader, battered and bruised with a look of
frustration on his face.
Dana:
Spider-Ma—Miguel!
Wait, he’s—
Miguel:
Don’t
Dana, we’re done with this.
Megacorps isn’t going to put
their plans on hold while we argue what to do, and who should do what.
Xina:
At
least let Net Prophet come—
Miguel:
No!
Panel Two
Miguel rests a hand on the frame of an open window. He’s looking out into the
city, his back turned to the group.
Miguel:
No more relationships. No more
partners. No more games.
Panel Three
Miguel crouches in the window sill, looking back at Dana, Net Prophet, and
Xina.
Miguel:
I do this alone.
Panel Four
Xina looks furiously at Dana. Net Prophet stands around awkwardly.
Xina:
You
know this is all your fault right?
Dana:
Me!?
You two were as unstable as the
molecules that make up his suit even before I
came along!
Net Prophet:
Okay… I’m just going to…
Panel Five
Same as Panel four, though now Net Prophet has teleported, only leaving
behind a small puff of matter, a fragment of a sign that he was ever even there. Xina and Dana are staring at the space
where Net Prophet was.
SFX:
Pop!
Xina:
Ugh…
Dana:
Men!
Pretty well written transitory page here. Though I can't help thinking that it might have been more interesting to know what happened to precipitate this decision from Miguel. All in all, though, solid opening salvo, Nic...welcome to TB!
