The prologue page for the first episode of our webcomic series, which is yet to be completed (written and directed by Hazash; drawn by Hidronax)
Here’s a sneak peek for the first webcomic script. This scene introduces Kalama, and features fan-favourites, Nuhrii and Kapura.
Panel 1
Aerial exterior view of the headquarters for the New Ta-Koro Guard, with some of the city’s other buildings surrounding it and a few Matoran walking about on their daily business.
Caption: New Ta-Koro
Panel 2
Inside the headquarters, we see a large training pit surrounded by racks of weapons and armor.
Nuhrii and Kapura are sparring with spear and shield in the center of the pit, along with two other pairs of Matoran in the background. Other Matoran take or arrange weapons. Kapura is attacking Nuhrii with a spear thrust, which he deflects with his shield.
Nuhrii: Too slow.
Kapura: I disagree…
Panel 3.1
Side-view of the pair Kapura teleports forward, shield extended, slamming into Nuhrii who just begins to leave the ground (faded image of Kapura in his original location, with a trail leading to his clear image in his new position).
Panel 3.2
Anterior view of Nuhrii flying backwards through the air (weapons thrown from his grip) as Kapura slams into him with his shield.
Panel 4
Nuhrii, now on the ground, looks upward, injured. Kalama’s feet can be seen behind him, and Kapura’s leg is seen in the opposite corner.
Nuhrii: Okay…your point’s made—again. I didn’t need another demonstration.
Kalama: Need a hand?
Panel 5
Clear view of Kalama as he pulls Nuhrii to his feet, while Kapura stands at ease in front of them.
Nuhrii: Kalama — any news from Turaga Vakama?
Kalama: Nothing worth mentioning—for now…
Nuhrii: So there is something?
Panel 6
Close-up of Kalama who looks away with his eyes very slightly, as if reflecting on something. Behind him, Aft stands in the arched doorway.
Kalama: For now, this is best kept between myself and Vakama. I don’t want to start a panic.
Kalama: Captain—there’s been a development. Mineshaft Seven.
Panel 7
Kalama turns towards the archway, turning his head back slightly to address Nuhrii and Kapura.
Kalama: Nuhrii, Kapura—change of plan. Let’s take a walk.
Nuhrii: Yes, sir.
Kapura: I don’t need to walk.
Nuhrii: Come on. We both know what he really meant.
Note: This may also serve as an example of the detailed scripts potential webcomic artists will be provided with during development.
