PANEL 1. Wide shot. The guy stands with his revolver pointed at Noir, who shows no anxiety at all.
GUY: DAMMIT, HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?
NOIR: CLUES. LEGWORK. YOU KNOW, DETECTIVE STUFF.
GUY: YOU'RE NO COP!
PANEL 2. Medium close-up on Noir, smiling slightly. She has one hand resting on top of the garbage can by the door.
NOIR: I SAID IT WAS DETECTIVE WORK, DIDN'T I? THAT'S CLEARLY BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE POLICE IN THIS CITY.
NOIR: NO, I'M NOT A COP…
PANEL 3. Noir flings the garbage can lid into the face of the guy. His revolver goes off.
SFX: BLAM!
PANEL 4. Noir steps up and delivers a punch to his gut, forcing him to bend forward. His revolver goes flying.
SFX: WHUMP!
PANEL 5. Noir knees him in the chin as he's bent over from the stomach punch.
SFX: WHAM!
PANEL 6. Guy on the ground, clutching at his stomach as Noir stands over him, one of her automatics pointed at his head.
NOIR: …BUT I AM PUTTING YOU AWAY.

Hey! Just read through the pages you’ve got, and it’s pretty fun!
There inks and colors in this are pretty fantastic! Although I do think some pages tend to be a bit crowded, the flow of reading is very well done!
Will you be posting all of this online, or is it only in print?
Again, really cool stuff! Keep at it!
We will continue to re-present the print comics online for the foreseeable future. We are working on a new graphic novel, but our plan is for that to be only available as a print edition initially.
What happens after page 20? That’s all that’s been posted since Dec. 25.
Is it something on my end?
Just me falling a bit behind on the updates. Should be back on schedule starting on Jan. 22.
These things happen.
How can I support you? This is so good I fell guilty not paying. 😮
