Part 11 - Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above
In the panels, here’s what we see:
Panel 1 – Robot’s face, screaming at the top of his lungs.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Do you even think?
Panel 2 – Destroyer is swarmed by zombies as he yells back.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: Yes, I think we’re in fucking trouble.
Panel 3 – Balder is kicking a zombie away as he struggles to reach the controls.
Panel 4 – Tight shot of his hands on the controls.
Page 2
Panel 1 – A shot from inside the plane, with zombies flying down the main cabin and slamming into the walls and seats.
Panel 2 – In front of Balder as he pulls the controls up, trying to get the plane leveled out. He is covered in sweat and looks scared shitless. His eyes are almost bugged out. A zombie hand is on his shoulder as one is sneaking up on him.
WORD BALLOON
Zombie: Brains!
Panel 3 – Destroyer grabs the zombie that was near Balder and rips his head clean off, showering the entire cabin with blood and gore.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: I got this.
Panel 4 – Robot’s face is covered with blood. He’s completely lost it.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Well, I hope you’re happy. There’s no saving this plane.
Panel 5 – The plane instruments are zoomed in and we can see the plane is about to go nose first, hard and fast.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: We’re about to go nose down hard.
Page 3
Panel 1 – Destroyer is putting his entire arm through two zombies’ faces and lifting them off the ground. Again, there is blood everywhere, on everything and everybody.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: That shouldn’t be anything new for you, Liberace Bot 2000.
Panel 2 – Robot and Destroyer going face to face, shouting at each other. At the same time Destroyer is putting his fingers through the eyes of a zombie, Three Stooges style, and Robot is firing energy beams out of his hands.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: You do realize you’ve probably killed all of us, including this reality’s last hope?
Destroyer: Why don’t you do something useful and transform into something cooler?
Robot: I’ve told you a million times, not all robots can transf…
Destroyer: You’d probably turn into something like a gun so you can just float there and someone else has to fire you. Complete and total gayness.
Panel 3 – The plane goes completely vertical with smoking everywhere and both wings breaking off.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Do you realize that your entire knowledge of robots comes from cartoons and bad movies?
Destroyer: Whatever, Johnny Sucko.
Panel 4 – The sudden downward motion pushes all of the zombies on the plane toward the cabin at a high rate of speed. We see them falling down the hallway toward our heroes.
WORD BALLOON (off camera)
Balder: Um, guys…
Panel 5 – Destroyer blocks the door with his body as every zombie on the plane crawls around him. Robot and Balder are fighting them off as he blocks everything.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: I got it! I got it!
Page 4
Panel 1 – Balder’s face is totally freaked out as he points to the window. He’s pointing at the window and unable to speak.
Panel 2 – Destroyer is struggling to hold all of the zombies back.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Look! Look!
Panel 3 – Robot’s head spins to see what is happening and reacts in complete anger.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: I’m trying to…oh that’s just fucking wonderful.
Panel 4 – A long shot where it’s easy to tell that the plane is about 500 feet from crashing nose first into the ocean. Obviously, our crew is fucked.
Page 5
Panel 1 – A nice, big, gory panel (as we haven’t had enough of those yet, have we?) with zombies eating their way through Destroyer’s stomach and pouring into the panel. Intestines, organs, zombies eating, just go nuts.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: Oh what the fuck! ARRRRRRGHHHH!
Panel 2 – A bemused expression on Robot’s face.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Wow, I totally did not see that coming.
Panel 3 – Balder is screaming at both of them as he sits in the pilot seat. He looks angry and afraid at the same time.
WORD BALLOON
Balder: Your friend just died and you aren’t even…
Panel 4 – We see the plane crash into the ocean from the outside, zombies flying into the air and just destruction all over this panel. I’ll come up with an appropriately witty sound effect.

Meanwhile…
Panel 1 – A government office, with medals all over the walls. We just see a desk and monitor with someone behind it, but we can’t see them. The person is obviously on the phone and talking to someone.
WORD BALLOON
Man on phone: Yes, sir. Understood. Yes…had experience with…no, I don’t know where he is. Yes. I know. Always been a problem.
Panel 2 – We move in closer on the desk and start to reveal the man behind it.
WORD BALLOON
Man on phone: I’ve already taken the liberty of assembling a task force to quell... What? Forgive me for disagreeing, but…
Panel 3 – We see the front of the man’s desk. His nameplate reads General Chaswinski.
WORD BALLOON
Man on phone: No, sir. Yes, the government doesn’t pay me to question the most powerful man in the galaxy. Goodbye, sir.
Panel 4 – Close up on a huge chainsaw with a gun handle on it. The man on the phone has his hand in the grip, ready to use it. We can see the hint of large black tattoos on his wrist.
WORD BALLOON
Man on phone: Fucking superhuman pricks.
Page 7
Panel 1 – Large panel with plane wreckage rising above the water. We see Balder’s head above the waves and he is holding onto a seat. I see this page as one big panel and six small panels beneath it.
WORD BALLOON
Balder: Hello? Anyone?
Panel 2 – Small conversation panels. Robot’s head popping up.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Hey.
Panel 3 – Balder, up close and speaking to Robot.
WORD BALLOON
Balder: I can’t believe that we survived that.
WORD BALLOON (off camera)
Destroyer: Marco.
Panel 4 – Robot replying.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: You get used to it. Sadly.
WORD BALLOON (off camera)
Destroyer: Marco!
Panel 5 – Balder looking upset.
WORD BALLOON
Balder: I’m sorry about your friend. Did you hear…
WORD BALLOON (off camera)
Destroyer: MARCO!
Panel 6 – Robot laughing.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: If only he were so easy to kill.
Panel 7 – Destroyer is drinking airplane mini-bottles, trying to grow back pieces of himself that were eaten.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: MARCO FUCKING POLO, BITCHES!
Page 8
Panel 1 – Destroyer dunks Robot’s head in the ocean. Balder is looking on in shock at the weirdness that is going on, like he can’t believe that this is his life.
WORD BALLOON
Destroyer: You wanna play?
Panel 2 – Balder is speaking to Destroyer.
WORD BALLOON
Balder: How are you even alive?
Panel 3 – Robot is underwater fuming. We’ll show his anger meeting here and see him swimming up. We’ll also show boxes that say INITIATE: DEEP SEA ATTACK MODE and ALERT.
Panel 4 – Robot POV of a computer readout with zombies swimming at them in every direction.
Page 9
Splash page – With zombies rising, heads above waters and our heroes fighting them. They care all holding onto pieces of wreckage and barely floating above the waves. Destroyer can be swinging a ripped off piece of jagged metal, Robot using lasers out of his hands, Balder kicking away at a bunch of zombies crawling onto his floating piece of the airplane. Just go crazy here!
Page 10
Several small panels of sharks coming closer. We just see the fins of the sharks, then we see the wreckage and our heroes get larger as the sharks get closer and closer.
Medium reaction panel of Robot, looking incredulous.
WORD BALLOON
Robot: Well, just when you think you’ve seen it all…
Page 11
Large panel of zombie-fied shark, with chunks bitten out of them and zombies riding on them like horses. They are jumping right at our heroes, teeth gnashing. The zombies on them are leaping with their fists high in the air, like evil knights on horseback.
Multiple panels of Destroyer jumping up out of the water, onto wreckage and launching himself onto a shark, pushing the rider off of it. He rides the shark downward into the water, eating multiple zombies and spraying the water with blood. Intersperse the other guys fighting off the zombies and sharks.
Page 12
Four small panels – gradually each gets progressively darker, with each of our three characters being shown fighting, tight on their faces. In the last of the four panels, let’s show all three and a gigantic shadow rising above them.
Large panel – The big reveal – let’s really show off Azrael here – his full form and not hidden as in the Valhalla chapter – just fill the sky with him and his four faces – lion, serpent, man and hawk. Each of these heads looks insane and is screaming. The rest of his body should be eyes and tongues. His gigantic black shadow like tentacles are coming close to our heroes, as they stare up at this creature.
WORD BALLOON
Death King: I have followed you across untold worlds and innumerable dimensions. This time, there will be no running. No last escape. And you, Balder, I thought I had claimed you once before…but now, this will be your final death. Prepare for the coming of oblivion.
