Page 1 – Panel 1 (Planet Zynar):
Dark, volcanic skies. Spiked mountains stretch across the hellish terrain. We’re inside the Throne Hall, carved from obsidian, lit by green flame.
Zyrax kneels before Zykor’s throne, head bowed.
Zyrax:
“The incubator is now at 98%. Your father's return is imminent, my lord. The Aethonians… will not stop it.”
Page 1 – Panel 2:
Zykor stands, smirking wickedly, arms folded.
Zykor:
“Excellent. Soon, they will all witness a legacy reborn.”
Page 1 – Panel 3:
Zykor waves his hand dismissively.
Zykor:
“You may go.”
Page 2 – Panel 1:
Zyrax exits the throne room, massive doors closing behind him with a metallic clang.
Page 2 – Panel 2:
He walks through a shadowy hallway lined with glowing tubes—one holding the incubator. Inside, a lifeless figure floats. Readout says: 98%.
Page 2 – Panel 3:
Zyrax gazes at the tank… then reaches toward the controls.
Page 2 – Panel 4:
He presses a button. The percentage blinks…
98% → 01% – SYSTEM RESET
Page 2 – Panel 5:
Zyrax smirks coldly to himself.
Zyrax (smirking):
“You stay dead, old man.”
Page 3 – Panel 1 (Earth – Midtown, NYC):
Our heroes in action. Fighting the flamboyant villain Snake Lord, cloaked in green robes, commanding a swarm of flying venomous snakes.
Page 3 – Panel 2:
Snakes cover the sky. Mirage swats them off her shoulders.
Mirage:
“Ugh! It’s like being attacked by sky-mosquitoes!”
Page 3 – Panel 3:
Voltfist zaps five snakes mid-air.
Voltfist:
“I’m immune to poison. But not to irritation.”
Page 3 – Panel 4:
Snake Lord summons more snakes with a glowing staff.
Snake Lord:
“Kneel before your scaled sovereign!”
Page 3 – Panel 5:
Jason shoots a bolt of force toward the staff.
Jason:
“Someone break that damn thing already!”
Page 4 – Panel 1 (Zynar – Throne Hall):
Back on Zynar. Zyrax leans against the wall outside the throne room entrance, checking a strange, floating time sigil.
Zyrax (smirking):
“Any second now…”
Page 4 – Panel 2:
BOOM! A massive explosion tears through the wall of the throne room—some guards are obliterated instantly. Zykor sits still, watching.*
Page 4 – Panel 3:
Out of the dust steps a cloaked, menacing figure—a Mysterious Man. Covered in a jagged armor, dark eyes glowing faintly.
Page 4 – Panel 4:
Guards charge the intruder—only to be slashed, shattered, thrown like rag dolls. Carnage. Instant death.
Page 5 – Panel 1:
Zykor isn't phazed, facing the man. The tension is thick.
Zykor (glaring):
“…You should be dead.”
Page 5 – Panel 2:
The Mysterious Man says nothing. In a blink, his hand slashes across. A red flash—Zykor’s head is severed.
Page 5 – Panel 3:
Zykor’s body falls. The man picks up the head, rips the crown off, and places it on his own head.
Page 5 – Panel 4:
Zyrax walks in as if he expected this. He glances at the corpse.
Zyrax (thinking):
“I’ve always hated you.”
Page 5 – Panel 5:
Zyrax kneels before the new ruler.
Zyrax:
“What is your command… my king?”
Page 6 – Panel 1:
The Mysterious Man holds Zykor’s head in one hand, points with the other.
Mysterious Man:
“Find Sevrin. Bring him to me. Alive.”
Page 6 – Panel 2 (Earth – final moments of Snake Lord battle):
The team closes in on Snake Lord, staff cracked. He slithers through rubble trying to escape.
Page 6 – Panel 3:
Captain Hawke’s voice blares through their comms.
Captain Hawke (over comms):
“Team, abort. Zyrax just arrived. Top of the Chrysler Building.”
Page 6 – Panel 4:
Snake Lord gets away unnoticed as all the heroes take off.
Page 7 – Panel 1:
Zyrax stands atop the skyscraper, arms crossed, wind whipping his cloak.
Page 7 – Panel 2:
Phantomark dives first, fists glowing. Zyrax sidesteps and slams him to the ground, then hurls him into the wall.
Page 7 – Panel 3:
Mirage attacks—rock-formed fists swinging. Zyrax grabs them mid-swing and uses them to smash her own head. She falls.
Page 7 – Panel 4:
Jason and Phantomark team up again, clashing with Zyrax. Intense fight—but Zyrax holds his own, pushing them back.
Page 8 – Panel 1:
Evan and Lena descend beside them. Evan glares at Zyrax.
Evan:
“Speak. Why are you here?”
Page 8 – Panel 2:
Zyrax breathes steadily, calm as ever.
Zyrax:
“I’m not here to destroy. The new king of Zynar… wants to speak with you.”
Page 8 – Panel 3:
Evan:
“New? What do you mean—Zykor—?”
Page 8 – Panel 4:
Jason interrupts, grabbing Evan’s shoulder.
Jason:
“You can’t trust him, man. Last time he nearly killed us all.”
Page 8 – Panel 5:
Lena glares at Zyrax.
Lena:
“Swear it. No trap. No harm to Evan.”
Page 9 – Panel 1:
Zyrax bows slightly.
Zyrax:
“I swear, on the glory of Zynar. He will not be harmed.”
Page 9 – Panel 2 (in-ear comms):
Captain Hawke (quiet, serious):
“Evan… we’re tracking everything. That portal tech from the Dimension Hopper mission—it’s prepped. We can reach you on Zynar if things go bad.”
Page 9 – Panel 3:
The team exchanges tense looks, but says nothing aloud. Zyrax shouldn’t know.
Page 9 – Panel 4:
Evan walks toward Zyrax, jaw tight. He looks back at his team—Lena, Jason, Mirage, Phantomark, Voltfist, Mindquake—all silently watching.
Page 9 – Panel 5:
Evan steps into the portal beside Zyrax.
Evan:
“Let’s go.”
Page 10 – Panel 1 (Zynar – Evan’s arrival):
They appear in a desolate courtyard. Black towers, eerie winds, green lightning above. Evan stares around, awe and suspicion mixing.
Page 10 – Panel 2:
Zyrax leads Evan through the gates of the obsidian fortress.
Page 10 – Panel 3:
They enter the Throne Hall. Shadows move. A figure sits in the dark, half-visible, staring at Evan. Zyrax steps aside.
Page 10 – Panel 4 (close-up on Evan):
His fists clench. His breath sharpens. He’s expecting Zykor.
Page 10 – Panel 5 (full-width panel):
The Mysterious Man steps forward from the shadows, face now fully revealed. Evan gasps. His eyes go wide.
Mysterious Man:
“Sevrin.”
Page 10 – Panel 6 (close-up on Evan):
Absolute shock. More than fear—pure disbelief.
Evan:
“...DAD!?”
