Hey guys, forgive me for the late blog posting today. Tom asked me to fill in earlier but I had a small setback with my broken leg and couldn't get it until now.
Anyway, I thought I'd share a random page of script from close to the halfway point in the book. Not sure why I picked this page, maybe because it doesn't contain any big spoiler moments or maybe because it gives us a small glimpse of the hero side of the equation in this book. Hope you dig it and we'll be back next week with a more substantial blog post.
Be well, everybody!
PAGE
THIRTY-SEVEN
PANEL
ONE
Close
on the face of THE TRUTH. Stern. Staring directly out at the reader,
her eyes surrounded by glowing Kirby-crackle.
TRUTH:
You might as well stay DOWN.
TRUTH:
It's not gonna go any better for you once TRANSIENT arrives.
PANEL
TWO
Pull
back to reveal that The Truth is standing, hands on hips, in front of
LOVER BOY, INTERSTELLAR, and NASTY CAT. The three villains have been
beaten pillar to post; they're sprawled out, bruised and bloodied.
Interstellar
should be unconscious, primarily so he can't teleport them out of
there. Cheap writing, yeah, but sometimes cheap writing makes sense.
By
the way, we're on the observation deck of the Empire State Building.
Lots of damage as a result of the battle including, most importantly,
GIANT GLOBS OF GREASE spattered all over the area, including our
villains.
NASTY
CAT: The little whore killed GREASETRAP! She--
LOVER
BOY: Shut up! I need to concentrate.
PANEL
THREE
Lover
Boy, standing amidst the rubble and globs of grease. His eyes are
glowing.
LOVER
BOY: Easy, Truth. Listen tight.
LOVER
BOY: After you let us go, throw yourself off the observation deck and
plummet to your death.
LOVER
BOY: Please and thanks.
PANEL
FOUR
A
blast of energy from Truth's eyes puts Lover Boy down for the count.
TRUTH:
You're welcome.
TRUTH:
Murderer.
PANEL
FIVE
The
Truth whirls to face Nasty Cat. The arc of her cape and the trail of
energy from her eyes tracks the motion of her body.
She
looks absolutely FIERCE here.
TRUTH:
I haven't forgotten about YOU, Nasty Cat...
