MICRONAUTS: 'The Lost Voyages' (1998) ISSUE TWO pg 04 +Prelim

PAGE FOUR
5 panels

1 Side-view of Cmdr. Rann sitting on the edge of his bed, running a raked hand through his unruly hair. He looks like he has a severe Tequila hangover. Again the starfield and ragtag Homeworld fleet serve as the BG. Unlike panel 10, pp3, the ragtag fleet is very visible in this panel. I need lots of room for expository narrative here, Cary.

2 Switch angles to show a front view of Rann dropping his heavy head into unsteady hands, which in turn are propped up by his exposed knees. Just behind him, unnoticed, is the sparkling effect of FIREFLYTE's pixie-like aftereffect.

3 Basically the same shot. Now, however, Rann's head is jerking up intently and his eyes are popping open in surprise as he hears Fireflyte's song.

4 PULLBACK. Rann stands/spins to face the voice/song of Fireflyte. She's not there, but the pixie dust storm is picking up. Swirling. Expanding. Coalescing.

5 Side-to-side, taking up the bottom quarter of the page. The left side of the panel shows an awestruck Rann being engulfed by the pixie-dust, then the panel turns into an expository FB on the right side of the panel--showing the reader/Rann a glimpse of the torment ACROYEAR is going through at the hands of the K'Lar. That tentacled brain-leach/slug-thing is still attached to the screaming Acroyear's face. A CROPPED-OFF MCU or even a HS of Acroyear is fine. Just give the reader the gist. We'll get back to this on page 6.
