Close on the Phantom Kid.

TWO:

It's Reg's mom, shot should be similar to the one of her in issue one, with pics of Reg and the family around. She's sitting holding a newspaper (maybe she should look as if she just looked up from it for a moment, towards the reader)

THREE:

Close on newspaper w/action shot of PK running off onto a fast-moving train, his former hostage is being helped out of a cruddy old suitcase (in which he was apparently stuffed) by two cops...

The shot looks like it was taken by a person who just happened to be there at the right time...

headline reads as follows:

Smaller, beneath headline: NEW PICTURES & INFO SHOW FIRST STEPS (page 4)

PANEL ONE: Angle on one of the people who witnessed PK capture the Muerté from a few pages back.

TWO:

Angle on PK, looking more like Batman than the Phantom Kid, swooping towards gang member in street.

THREE: 2/4 of page...

Instead of PK accidentally knocking into the gang kid, he is standing triumphantly over him...the Muerté secured amongst ropes, gadgets, and eerie smoke. Our citizen is in the background.

FOUR:

Another "man-on-the-street" -- this one a businesswoman: plain, attractive but serious:

FIVE:

The woman pulls, part-way, a video tape out of her bag.

ONE:

It's PK.

TWO:

It's the Muerté PK & Crain had captive.

THREE:

Big panel, rest of page... Down the center, splitting the large panel into two halves are small close-ups of the gang member's face. It's shots of him reeling from the torture of The Dixie Chicks CD. His eyes tearing in one, his face contorted into a scream in another (the headset visible over his ears w/more pretty musical notes)...

On the left of the big panel:

It's the Muerté hangout...outside a high window, you can see the Phantom Kid swinging towards it.

On the right of the big panel:

PK is perched, awkwardly, like he almost fell after crashing in (he's NOT Batman), in a corner -- window smashed. Police have come in through some large doors (a newsman with a professional video camera should be visible in the back somewhere)

PANEL ONE:

It's PK again.

TWO:

It's The Conductor. Railway City's pride & superheroic joy...

THREE:

BIG action shot of The Conductor kicking some major butt in a warehouse where the gang has stored weapons. He's deflecting bullets, knocking out Muertés and destroying weaponry all in one, big, superheroic moment... police and a news van are possibly seen approaching through a window or opening in the wall.

ONE:

PK is pulling at his mask, like he's about to remove it.

TWO:

It's Lopez...

THREE:

Long, thin panel across page...in left-side foreground we can see someone holding a Dixie Chicks CD (close on their hands and the CD)...in mid-background along rest of panel we see one Detective casually lighting a cigarette while Lopez holds the headphones (SFX: [more musical symbols here]) on the head of a hand-cuffed (and screaming) gang member in this interrogation room.

FOUR:

Large panel, rest of page...

It's a bust at a pier...the Coast Guard's got a spotlight aimed at a boat from where crates of weapons were apparently being unloaded. On the dock, Lope has cuffed one guy, and a detective casually lighting a cigarette (same guy as above) is using his free hand to hold some creep knelt down on the ground.

PANEL ONE:

TWO:

It's a silhouetted person, apparently hiding his identity.

THREE:

Big action panel of huge police and DEA raid...some of the guys being captured are elder Muertés, a couple of others should look like businessmen, one guy should match the silhouetted fella above...Phantom Kid is blending into the background, only partially discernable in the shadows.

ONE: Establishing shot...

TWO-FOUR: Reg, virtually healed from his beating by the Muertés, is walking down the hall...passing big jerk Gordon Breckerman, who, as he passes, casually knocks Reg's books out from under his arm...

FIVE:

Reg is picking up his books...

SIX:

He's heading out the door of the building, onto the campus.

Three average-sized panels across top of page...panel four takes up rest of page...

ONE:

Walking across campus, Reg is beckoned by Crain who is catching up in the background...

TWO:

THREE:

FOUR:

LARGE panel taking up ¾ of page:

The shot is of Phantom Kid at a doorway in a somewhat run-down apartment building...The door is open and a 9 year old boy, looking up at PK, and his mom stand there; the mother in tears but smiling at PK.

SMALL INSET AT BOTTOM CORNER OF PAGE:

The mom has a caring hand on his face, giving the Phantom Kid a peck on his masked cheek...
