    SCRIPT EXCERPT ITT
    PAGE TWO:
    Splash: Animal Man and Kitty stand awkwardly in front of the Skrull, who is sitting regally and smugly on a throne. Lockheed is perched on Kitty's shoulder, looking away like he's bored with the whole idea.

    Skrull: THIS BATTLE
    Skrull: THIS CHALLENGE
    Skrull: WILL TEST YOU AS NO CHALLENGE HAS EVER TESTED YOU BEFORE
    Kitty: THAT'S DEBATABLE.

    PAGE THREE: The Skrull continues tO drone on as Kitty and Buddy begin to have a conversation. I don't really care how the panels are aligned, although I've tried to figure it out for myself (it didn't go well). Each panel should have a line from the Skrull, to show just how long he is talking. This could maybe be stretched out over two pages if you need it to.

    Panel One: Kitty's brow is furrowed and her arms are crossed. Animal Man is standing with his back to the camera.
    Kitty: OR FRIGHTENING
    Kitty: I HAVEN'T REALLY DECIDED
    Animal Man: YEAH, I MEAN, I'M PRETTY SURE I WAS KILLED BY SPACE ZOMBIES A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO
    Skrull: YOU WILL FACE DEATH
    Skrull: AND FATES WORSE THAN DEATH

    Did you get a message from Toji, Geebs? I expect you'll hear from him soon. Just in case he's indisposed, though, here're the two pages he sent me.

    One

    Two

    The rest is forthcoming!

    Oh holy shit, toji actually expends effort.

    I suddenly feel very threatened.

    He's also captain of the football team, makes a million dollars a year, and drives a nicer car than you do.

    Toji, can I assume you've been watching Flight of the Conchords recently (as evinced by the Ziggy cameo?) You killed one of my favorite possibilities for my Invincible vs. Sentry fight. Damn you.

    Just to threadjack for a second: if anyone here isn't watching Flight of the Conchords on HBO, I demand you go watch it immediately. HBO has all the episodes available On Demand, and it's just one of the funniest things on TV. Apropos, the episode a week or two ago had Bret (one of the eponymous characters) dreaming of David Bowie in his various incarnations including Ziggy).

    I finally started drawing some damn pictures. I'm staying away from the standard comic book / panel format, with one or two big pictures per page. Light on the dialogue, and backgrounds as well. I also suck at drawing legs, so torso's it is!

    Here's a little preview. It all goes down hill from here...in terms of quality that is.

    Black Cat and Domino are both awarded losses for not turning in entries and failing to tell me why.

    Cyclops vs. Nova will take place tomorrow, along with the Orphan vs. Smax, so all contestants have until tomorrow night t complete and send their entries in, or I'll just post what I have.

    2 AM, but I'm done! I'll just have to add some finishing touches in the morning and send it off.

    Geebs, is there any policy related to bonus content? I have an extra page at the end that really doesn't relate to the battle, and I'm not sure whether or not to include it.

    I should probably get around to changing my avatar to Animal Man, too.

    Charmy, half my entry doesn't even have my opponent in it for Miller Time.

    I mean, she's there but the point of the comic isn't even about the fight.

    And the whole end has nothing to do with her.

    What I'm saying is, go for it so long as at some point a battle or something takes place.

    Add whatever you want, it's cool.

    And matches are staggered because you people are all hell of lazy.

    Hey I sent Mr. Pink the script for the next challenge the day the first one went up!

    If anyone is lazy, it's him!

    Also, Geebs, you should be fine.

    It would really suck to disqualify yourself.

    I don't know when the rest of the comic is going to be done because I decided to leave Toji alone while he finished up.

    He e-mailed me some more art a while ago, but it was from the end of the sequence and didn't have the dialogue in so I'm not going to share it.

    Only one of those three matches has two complete entries. Two entries are half finished, one person didn't bother, and one's against the wrong person.

    It's pretty wacky!

    I'm going to extend the deadline for the next matches by a week, and the one after that by a week. This may result in the loss of a wild card round, but I'd rather have some entries make it in. I'll update the schedules later.

    I have another one, too. I was going to wait until 10 to post it, but I guess we have a thread now.
