Mindset Page 1 and 2.

I've been a comic book fan for as long as I can remember. When I was young, I used to write and draw my own comic books. They were by no means professional or "good," but they were always good fun. I haven't written out a full on script for a book for a while but I started to toy around with this idea and thought it could be make for a good story. Mindset: think of it as the Bourne series, meets Deadzone, but with super powers. Here's the script for page 1 and 2. Hope you think it has any worth. I may draw it myself, I may find a better artist, I dunno. I'll decide later.

Page 1: Mindset issue 1.

Panel 1:

Wide panel. All Black. Nothingness. This is just a black panel. Easy to draw right?

Panel 2:

Wide Panel. We should see this from a first person perspective. We see the top and bottom of the panel bordered in black. In between the black we should just see a bit of the hospital stuff in front of him. He’s blinking awake.

Panel 3:

Wide panel. Mirrors the first panel. We should see just a bit of black bordering the top and bottom now. The hospital setting in front of him is more clear.

Panel 4:

Wide Panel. Same as before. This time there is no black bordering. The hospital room is in full detail.

Panel 5:

Big Panel. This should take up the remainder of the page. Gregory Winston is drawn in full headshot glory. He has a bit of 5 o’clock shadow on him. He should be square jawed, appealing, with a dazed look on his eyes like he’s squinting. He needs a haircut. His head is still resting on the pillow or he can be propped up

Blurb:

This is Gregory Winston. Right now, at exactly 10:23 on July 19, 2009, he is awakening from a coma that he’s been in for the last two years.

Page 2: Mindset issue 1

Panel 1:

Tall Panel. We should see Greg’s full body, in his hospital gown. He’s attempting to step out of his bed. He should be holding onto his IV stand for support.

Panel 2: (Right of the tall panel)

Small panel. Close up on his face. He’s looking down at his body. He has his eyebrow raised. He should still look really groggy.

Blurb:

At 10:24, He thinks he’s noticed three .45 caliber bullet wounds that are recovering nicely.

Pane 3-5:

Each of these panels will show the consecutive body parts. It should be obvious from the scars that they were stitched up. In panel three we se a shot of the area just above his knee cap, then in panel four a shot of his arm, and in panel five a shot of the area right on his chest. The blurbs will coincide with these shots.

Here. Here. And Here.

Panel 6:

Just Word box. No pictures.

At 10:25, he realizes these wounds don’t worry him.

Panel 7:

Small Panel. Greg’s foot has slipped. Maybe both feet should be off the ground. Whatever. Just make it obvious that he slipped. All we should see in this panel is a slipping foot, and a bit of background, but only if necessary. Nothing else.

Panel 8:

Wide Panel. Should take up the rest of the row. We see a look of panic on his face as he’s falling. He should be truly scared. Have his hands up in a panicked motion. He’s helpless. Have his IV stand flying up as well.

Blurb:

What DOES worry Gregory Winston, as he looses his footing and prepares to crash to the floor of the hospital room at 10:27...

Panel 9:

This panel should take up the rest of the page. Sky shot. Greg is lying on the floor of the hospital. Nurses and doctors are rushing inside

Blurb:

Is that he can’t remember how he got here in the first place.

So? Interested?
