SPECTRUM #3

PAGE ONE

PANEL ONE: Richie’s bedroom, a continuation of the last panel of issue #2. EDDIE, KELLY and RICHIE are in mid-conversation.

EDDIE:
I said, how’s it going, superhero?

PANEL TWO: RICHIE is taken aback. EDDIE is prodding him to give up the goods!

RICHIE:
What do you mean?

EDDIE:
C’mon, man!

PANEL THREE: KELLY and EDDIE explain the obvious.

KELLY:
You were in the hospital so long, we figured it out.

EDDIE:
Yeah! That was your Origin Story, dude! The glowy lights? The colors?

PANEL FOUR: KELLY and EDDIE seem to be inspecting RICHIE.

KELLY:
So what can you do? Fire lasers from your eyes?

EDDIE:
Make solid constructs from light?

PANEL FIVE: KELLY looks excited. EDDIE makes a Dark Phoenix face by holding his phone’s flashlight under it and up-lighting himself with dramatic shadows.

KELLY:
Fly?

EDDIE:
Or are you all fire and death incarnate?

PANEL SIX: RICHIE needs a moment and tries to get them to calm down.

RICHIE:
Whoa, you guys, just…whoa.
