I'd love to see it. There's a ton of artists here, maybe one of them will spot this and be so overwhelemed by our uncanny skills that they will volunteer to do so!
Anyhoo, the one who closes an issue opens the next one, so I'll see you on Issue 2 Page 2!
Just got the preview for issue 1's script. Absolutely love it, and can't wait to see more. You guys are pure genius, so please keep them coming! And more Taryn!
Sincerely, Cobalt, your biggest fan!

MATTER-EATER LAD: THE SERIES ISSUE #2
PAGE ONE
Panel One
Caption: The Planet Tartarus
Establishing shot of Evillo's castle amid the hellish landscapes.
Panel Two
Shot of a room in the castle. A crowd of pathetic looking super-thugs are gathered there.
Two zombie servants overlook the gathered mob of villains from a balcony up above.
Panel Three
Close in on the Zombies.
Zombie #1: So, do you think any of these ruffians will make the grade?
Zombie #2: Hard to tell. The Prince is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.
Panel Four
Zombie #1: Well, it's really his own fault, you know. If he wouldn't banish members of his "Elite Royal Guard" to the Realms of Darkness faster than he can fill the vacancies in it, he'd probably be able to recruit a better class of thugs.
Zombie #2: Has he ever actually had a full dozen?
Panel Five
Zombie #1: Not since I've been reanimated.

Panel One
Tenz's Dad, Renkil, and Lester are in a bar. Cameras follow them around. A not-so-attractive but very busty waitress waits on them.
Waitress: Can I take your order?
Tenz's Dad: Well, you seem like quite the dish!
Panel Two
Waitress: Sorry, I'm not on the menu.
Tenz's Dad: Alright, then, for me and my boy Renkil here, how about a silverale and gasoline? And get the nancy boy whatever he wants, as well.
Lester: Just a straight silverale, please.
Panel Three
Dad: Hmm... and send some drinks over to those cute little fillies at that table, will you? And if you could slip in the fact that we're on TV...
Waitress: Sure thing...
Panel Four
Lester: Uh, Mr. Kem... do I need to remind you that you have a wife at home? And that you're being filmed?
Renkil: Can I have a cigarette?
Tenz's Dad: Sure, son. (Hands Renkil a cigarette). Oh, Myrta doesn't care. She's too busy watching the Home Health Care Channel to even bother watching our show!
Panel Five
As the waitress takes the order of the girls at the other table, they exchange flirtacious looks with Tenz's dad. Meanwhile, Renkil eats the cigarette.

Lester has glazed expression, is obviously bored out of his mind.
Lester: (thought balloon) Popping Hotties! How the hell did I-- heir to Earth's most ridiculously lavish jewelry slash bling-bling empire-- end up in this bar on Bismoll with these less than attractive men? Sounds like a good time for a flashback...

Panel 3
Lester caption: I was starved but didn't want to disturb anyone, so I attempted to fix myself some dinner. (scene shows Lester's drugged-up rampage through the kitchen, turning dials and pressing buttons and stuff)
Panel 4

Panel 5
Lester caption: And then... *choke!* Poor poor Chef C'nnonf'dder! And my loyal butler Splatters! And dear, dear Shirley... (scene shows Lester passed out in hallway when kitchen explodes)
