PAGE FOUR (One Panel). Page Summary: Full Page Shot. NICK, Uzi in hand, and STOLTZ, from last issue, are fighting off a horde of Nazis.

Panel 1. Full Page Shot. From Last Issue, NICK is shouting to a hysterical STOLTZ, who is next to him. He is fighting off two of the three soldiers from last issue. The third soldier lies dead somewhere close. More soldiers have heard the fighting, and are running to join the fray. We are still in STOLTZ’S timeline and the ruin of his city. The soldiers are intent on killing both NICK and STOLTZ. They want Stoltz, and aren’t interested in taking him or Nick alive. NICK is still wearing his bandana and firing the Uzi he procured from last issue.

CAPTION: SO HERE’S A SCENARIO…

CAPTION: LET’S SAY YOU WAKE ONE DAY, A SEEMINGLY UNIMPORTANT PERSON, GRADUALLY DISAPPEARING FROM AN INCREASINGLY PATHETIC LIFE.

CAPTION: JUST PLAIN FOLK.

CAPTION: THAT SAME AFTERNOON, YOU ARE ASSAULTED BY A PAINFUL VISION INVOLVING THE STRANGER WHO NOW STANDS TO YOUR LEFT.

CAPTION: TO YOUR SURPRISE, THE DISAPPEARANCE YOU HAVE BECOME SO ACCUSTOMED TO BECOMES REAL, AND YOU FIND YOURSELF INVOLUNTARILY WHISKED AWAY…

CAPTION: …TO A WORLD THAT ISN’T YOUR OWN. AND THE STRANGE MAN FROM YOUR DREAM IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF NEO-NAZI SOLDIERS, INTENT ON KILLING HIM, AND POSSIBLY YOUR ONLY WAY BACK HOME.

CAPTION: WHAT THEN? DO YOU CHARGE TO THE RESCUE OF THE DARK STRANGER FROM YOUR DREAM? AND WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU SAY TO HIM WHEN, OR IF, YOU DO?

NICK: FIRST, I’M SAVING YOU–

NICK: –THEN, I’M KICKING YOUR ASS!
