Panel 1- PARKER, dressed in black turtleneck and pants, turns his face away as he fires a snub-nosed pistol into sparking computers and medical machinery.
PARKER: I don't know what's been playing at here...
Panel 2- PARKER walks toward us as he fishes a set of lockpicks out of his pocket, leaving the machinery behind him to catch fire.
PARKER: ...but if this is as monstrous as it looks...
Panel 3- PARKER unlocks the cuffs at a surgical gurney, freeing a patient's hands.
PARKER: ...I get the feeling someone has a bit of payback coming...
Panel 4- Foreground, PARKER helps a groggy ANDREW BENNETT to his feet. Mid-ground, (left) JACKIE ESTACADO massages his left wrist with his right hand, the look on his face is one of hell-to-pay, as (right) SHADE the Changing Man reunites JACK RYDER with the CREEPER (which looks as painful as their separation was). Background, a large video monitor shows a map of the dark side of the moon, a purple crosshairs ominously highlighting one large crater...
JACKIE: Friend, you have no idea.
...the end is nigh, my friends. Stay tuned...
