Panel 1: The civilians have dispersed and the heroes have gathered together between their vehicles. It is an informal pow-wow.
Brokenhill: Alright, who’s on cadaver detail?
Max: Dad, there are no cadavers.
Panel 2: Most of the heroes are shocked by Max’s announcement. They should be shown with incredulous looks on their faces. Only Jarhead and Drifter, who were there before the rest arrived, are not surprised.
Jarhead: They were abducting them, Brokenhill. They managed to get away with five before we arrived.
Panel 3: Still in the huddle, the heroes take turns hypothesizing.
Canuck: But why would they do that? They only attack to replenish their blood and brain tanks. Do you think they’re making more zombies?
Panel 4: The Guardian Angel speaks for the first time. Her voice, though feminine, is still computerized.
Guardian Angel: Gentlemen, although I am currently scrambling any possible signals that could intrude on our conversation, it is still not safe to gather here for so long. Perhaps a formal meeting is in order.
Panel 5:
Brokenhill: Right, can you get word to everyone else and have them meet us at area 57 in one week?
Guardian Angel: Yes, sir.
Brokenhill: Alright, let’s get what we can and get the hell out of here. I’ll see you gentlemen in one week.
Page 8 will be the pencils that Morganza has already done as the following pages will be the Guardian Angels gathering the troops (see below).

Panel 1: As The Norseman turns, a Commie Zombie is coming out of the woods, reaching for him.
Panel 2: The Norseman punches the CZ’s helmet, forcing the CZ’s head to whiplash as the glass on its helmet shatters.
Panels 3 and 4: The Norseman then quickly picks up two pieces of the wood he has been “chopping” and smashes the CZ’s head between them, splattering brains and blood in the process.
Page 10: 4 Panels
Panel 1: Two black silhouettes that look like Commie Zombies are seen in the foreground as the CZ that The Norseman has just destroyed falls to the ground.
Panel 2: The Norseman quickly turns around again and they are indeed Commie Zombies but their helmets have been cracked and there are holes clean through their skulls.
Panel 3: The CZs fall to ground and a Guardian Angel stands behind them.
Panel 4: The Guardian Angel is still behind the fallen CZs.
Guardian Angel: Greetings, Norseman. You are summoned for an official meeting at Area 57 in 6 days.
Page 11: 3 Panels
Panel 1: Close-up shot of a Commie Zombie’s helmet and head.
Panel 2: The same CZ’s head is now whip lashing backwards, the glass in its helmet breaking into pieces as one of Bruce’s nunchaku hits it. There is a twin trail of electricity wrapped around the CZ’s head and leading into the prongs at the tip of the nunchaku.
SFX: Skressh!
Panel 3: Half splash of Bruce taking out three more CZs around him as the one that we saw in the previous panels falls backwards, smoke emitting from its charred head. His actions are so quick that Bruce should only be drawn in outlines for each hit. All the Commie Zombies should be shown with their heads whipping backwards, their helmets shattering and electricity surrounding their heads. Think of the scene where Spidey kicks the Kingpin’s butt in jail in the TPB The Road To Hell for inspiration.
Bruce: (a different word balloon for each hit) Whaaa! Oowah! Ayaah!
SFX: (at each of the CZ’s helmets as they break) Skrish! Skresh! Skrash!
Page 12: 4 Panels
Panel 1: Worm’s eye view of Bruce standing over the bodies of the Commie Zombies, their heads still smoking. Bruce is standing in New York’s Chinatown and a Guardian Angel’s silhouette can be seen behind him in the sky. A Guardian Angel is landing and Bruce is looking up to see her.
Mechangel: Hello, Bruce.
Bruce: (in “icy” word balloon) shitballs
Panel 2: The Guardian Angel has landed and is standing directly in front of Bruce. Bruce should have a look of disdain towards the Guardian Angel. He does not like the Guardian Angels and is paranoid that they can be reprogrammed against the heroes at any time.
Guardian Angel: You are summoned to an emergency meeting 6 days from now at the usual place.
Bruce: You know I don’t take messages directly from you, automaton. Show me the hologram or go jump in a lake.
Panel 3: Full shot of Bruce and the Guardian Angel standing in front of each other, Bruce’s back is to the viewer. The Angel is emitting a hologram from her eyes a la Star Wars. The hologram is of the Fatman and, like in Star Wars, should allow us to see Mechangel behind it.
Fatman: (in a square word balloon with “electric” pointer to show that it sounds scratchy) Bruce, you paranoid bastard. Meet us at the usual place in six days... They've started abducting people.
Panel 4: Bruce has a look of surprise on his face.
Bruce: Why would they take people?
Guardian Angel: Several hypothesis have been-
Bruce: That was rhetorical, tin can! Now get the hell out of here before you call attention to yourself!
Page 13:
Panel 1: A small compartment in Bruce's right arm pops open and he speaks into it.
Bruce: Crane, one to pick up.
Panel 2: Full shot of a small, one man jet plane decending onto where Bruce is standing. It is the Crane, Bruce's vehicle.
Panel 3: Still a full shot but this time the Crane is on the ground with the canopy open. Bruce is hopping inside.
Bruce: Abduction...
Panel 4: Shot of the Crane leaving the scene. There should be a city scape behind it to still hint that he is in NY.
Bruce: (from inside the plane, unseen) ...shitballs.
Page 14: 6 Panels
Panel 1: Close up shot of a pair of booted feet running, speed lines in the background.
Panel 2: Full shot of Techno Demon running into an alley. Four CZs are behind him, their arms outstretched towards him.
Panel 3: Full profile shot of Techno Demon stopping abruptly as he comes to the back wall of the alley. It is a dead end.
Panel 4: Techno Demon, his back against the wall and arms outstretched on the bricks, looks left and right.
Techno Demon: Damn!
Panel 5: Techno Demon is now in a power stance, his chin tucked into his chest to show mischief.
Techno Demon: I was hoping to get more of you in here but you lot will have to do.
Panel 6: Techno Demon opens his trench coat and countless robotic spiders fly out of it, each with a small version of his helmet on their head.
Page 15: 5 Panels
Panel 1: Half shot of the CZs as they are overwhelmed by the robot spiders. They should appear cringing and confused by what is happening. They thought they had an easy target when Techno Demon ran into the alley.
Panel 2: Close up of the robot spiders on the CZs. They are biting the hulls of the CZs and sparks are coming out of their fangs as they do so. Techno Demon narrates.
Caption: That’s the worst type of venom...
Panel 3: Another close up of the robot spiders as they bite on the hull of another CZ.
Caption: The type that goes viral.
Panel 4: Full shot of the CZs standing almost at attention with Techno Demon standing in front of them. The CZs have stopped struggling and the robot spiders are crawling off of them and back into Techno Demon’s trench coat.
Techno Demon: There’s my good lads. Now…
Panel 5: Full shot of the CZs coming out of the alley, arms stretched out. Tehno Demon must be seen behind them in perspective, pointing forwards as he yells his command.
Techno Demon (in jagged word balloon to show he’s yelling): KILL ALL COMMIE ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE!
Page 16: 3 Panels
Panel 1: Half splash view of a city street overrun by CZs. People are fleeing to and from every direction. Some CZs have abductees over each shoulder and those that do not are actively hunting them down. Techno Demon’s CZs can be seen hurrying into the melee with Techno Demon running behind them. The background should show that this was once Washington D.C. Perhaps the Washington monument can be shown in the background.
Panel 2: Techno Demon’s CZs disperse and two of them immediately use their brain spikes to kill one CZ each.
SFX (for each of the two CZs that are being killed): Krish! Kresh!
Panel 3: Techno Demon is running towards the mayhem himself, leaving behind his other two CZs as they each grab a CZ and kill them as the prior two did.
SFX (again for each CZ being killed by their infected comrades): Kresh! Krish!
Techno Demon: Get them, my pretties!
Page 17: 5 Panels
Panel 1: Techno Demon takes out two discs that hold four blades each out of his trench coat while still running towards the melee.
Panel 2: Dramatic angle and perspective of Techno Demon throwing the discs.
Panel 3: Close up of the discs in the air as they begin to spin like saws.
SFX: WhirrrrrzzzzZZZZZ!
Panel 4: The saws cut through the glass helmets of two CZs like butter and decapitate them in the process. The saws should be shown behind the decapitated heads, still spinning and having lost no momentum.
SFX: SCHLACK! SCHLACK!
Panel 5: The saws continue decapitating CZs as they zip through the air. It is up to the artist how many zombies are shown being decapitated.
Page 18: 5 Panels
Panel 1: Half shot of three rows of CZs that are carrying abductees.
Panel 2: As they stand at attention, wings eject from unseen compartments on their backs.
SFX: WhirrrrCLACK!
Panel 3: Full shot of the same row of CZs. Smoke is being emitted from the bottom of their boots.
Panel 4: The CZs take off row after row.
SFX: FFFWOOSH!
Panel 5: Shot of Techno Demon as he looks on in disbelief.
Techno Demon: What the f-?! They can fly now?!
Page 19: 6 Panels.
Panel 1: Shot of Techno Demon slumping, looking defeated.
Techno Demon: All those people…
Panel 2: A small robot spider crawl out of Techno Demon’s trench coat.
Panel 3: The spider’s eyes emit a hologram of the Fatman in front of Techno Demon and TD looks up as it gets his attention.
Fatman: Techno Demon!
Panel 4: Techno Demon’s posture is now confrontational. He points a finger at the hologram.
Techno Demon: Goddamnit, Fatman! How many times do I have to tell you not to hack into my robots?!
Panel 5: The Fatman’s hologram answers. Techno Demon has put his hand down but is still in a confrontational posture.
Fatman: You don’t really leave me much choice. It’s not like I can send a Guardian Angel into the center of New Moscow.
Techno Demon: I think you mean a Tech Angel.
Panel 6: Front shot of the Fatman’s hologram. He can be shown rolling his eyes at TD.
Fatman: We don’t have time for that old squabble. The zombies have started abducting people. We’re rounding up the troops and meeting at the usual place. Be there in 6 days.
