Let’s take a look at what the folks in the Play at Home Thread are up to…
I picked the first five entries from people in the Play at Home Thread. I used all of their page 1’s.
Before we get to that, for your reference, here is the script from writer Vince Hernandez:
PAGE ONE.
Panel 1.
Establishing shot. A breathtaking vista illuminates a Mexican sunset as we key in on a peninsula rising above the crashing ocean waves below. A lone beach house is on the peninsula, appearing rather inconspicuous. CHANCE CALLOWAY’S ’59 Thunderbird convertible is parked right outside.Panel 2.
Inside the beach house, we see a cloth towel draped over a chair in the foreground. Chance lounges on a beat-up futon in the background; sipping on a beer while watching television. Steam emits from a bathroom door in the background—someone is showering.Panel 3.
A small inset panel, a bird’s eye view of the beach house from high above in the sky. A Comanche attack helicopter blade whirls through our shot as it zeroes in on the house.Panel 4.
ASPEN MATTHEWS pops ONLY her head and everything above her breast-line out of the bathroom doorway pointing at the towel on the chair. This is our opening shot of her so make it count. NO NUDITY.Panel 5.
From the POV of the side of the Comanche helicopter (we don’t want to fully reveal it just yet), we see a pair of Hellfire missiles shoot out towards the beach house.
Here is Daniel Schenstrom’s page…

Finally, as a fun bonus, former Comic Book Idol contestant Chris Ring stopped by and showed HIS take on the assignment!
