Oh no now I'm in trouble NOW I HAVE TO DRAW THE NEXT ONE










Brian Lynch was nice enough to post a page from his Spike: Shadow Puppets #3 script on his blog, to show us once again that every single writer formats his comic script completely differently from every single other writer. Chad and I, for example, get very nitty of the gritty with our panel descriptions and quasi-layout discussions. But I cannot post one of those, for that would be a spoiler and ruinous of Chad and I's fun. So instead, although they aren't quite as visually dextrous as the Terra scripts, I'll post a script for Extreme Steve.
Yes, a script for Extreme Steve! The reason there is no Extreme Steve today (or two weeks ago today for that matter) is that I have been doing more work in the planning n' prepping department than the actual drawing of episodes. Which will make more sense in about eight months when all of this planning comes to fruition and I publish my schematic (called the Extreme Scheme) to show you just how spectacularly over-prepared I was for the coming episodes of Extreme Steve.
Obviously, I don't pre-write every episode; I usually just draw 'em. But sometimes I'm away from Photoshop or otherwise inclined to actually script something out for various reasons, as in the case of our example. Here's the episode we'll be discussing today:

And here's the script:
Panel 1
Extreme credits.
Panel 2
Batman and the Rebel Fleet Trooper are sitting on a rooftop against a moonlit sky. Mars is visible in frame.
Batman: It isn’t that that I don’t love crimefighting, I do, I just don’t see the percentage any more.
RFT: What percentage? You think my pappy wanted to see me slinging funnybooks for a living? I was gonna be a dentist, man.
Panel 3
The RFT is standing up.
Batman: You know what the real problem is… actually you’ll like this, it has to do with your friend Extreme Steve…
RFT: Tell me later, I gotta catch the X-Files on the 11:00 repeat.
Panel 4
Batman is left on his own.
Panel 5
The Scary Character From [Spoiler Deleted] is now standing over Batman’s left shoulder.
Batman: What, did you forget the lube?
Panel 6
Scary Character has lobbed off Batman’s head. A geyser of blood shoots upwards.
Panel 7
Extreme Steve and Extreme Willis are in conversation. Extreme Steve’s eyes are wide with surprise.
Willis: …and I don’t feature that as part of the traditional banana split.
Willis: Whoa, you look like you’ve seen a ghost.
Panel 8
Steve is looking at his own hands.
Extreme Steve: Not a ghost…
