(DEENA and WALKER are
on a stake-out)
(5 Panels)
Panel 1: WALKER looks away from the window toward
DEENA, who is reading a book.
WALKER (1): What’s that?
DEENA: Uh, a book?
WALKER (2): Yes, I can see that.
WALKER (3): What book is
it?
Panel 2: DEENA holds the book up so that WALKER – and
the reader – can see the cover. The book is a graphic novel, and the cover
features a simple image of a gun lying on a dark black surface, with a police
badge leaning against it. The word ‘Power//Less’ is positioned as to be the
title, with ‘Power’ and ‘Less’ slightly out of alignment.
DEENA (1): It’s a graphic novel.
WALKER: A comic book?
DEENA (2): ‘Graphic Novel’.
DEENA (3): It’s a crime series that follows a pair of police
detectives.
DEENA (4): The twist is that it’s set in a world where
Powers never existed.
Panel 3: WALKER turns back to the window to keep
watch.
WALKER (1): A world without powers, huh?
WALKER (2): Wouldn’t mind it if we’d gotten a lucky break
like that sometimes.
Panel 4: DEENA looks to WALKER.
DEENA: Didn’t you use to be
a Power?
WALKER: Like I said, be a lucky break.
Panel 5: DEENA goes back to the book.
DEENA: Well, they probably don’t have nearly the same kind
of nonsense we have to put up with, I’ll give them that much.
WALKER: (Off-Panel)
Like I said, be a lucky break.

Ha, I like the meta-nature of this. A nice wink at the reader.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Simple and well-executed.
