TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.
1.)
(Monstered out Minchin has Jack in a loose grip once again. What happens to a vampire's clothes when they transform? The loose clown outfit of Minchin's body has given way to corded veiny muscles, knots, spines, and projecting vertebra - yet he still has pompoms on his chest and a ruff collar and cuffs. Beneath the makeup we can see clearly his electric chair scars, blue clawed fingertips have ripped out of his taut gloves, and his mouth is unnaturally broad with oversized sharp rat teeth. Clearly, reality doesn't know what to do with this abomination, and Jack doesn't either. His face is etched with fear, though still a shade monstrous in its own way.)
2.)
(Jack managed to get his legs in between them, and is springing away. Minchin's small crow wings are silhouetted behind
his looming clown monster head and hands. Darren is trying to get an angle for a shot, somewhere in the far background.)
3.)
(With Jack out of the way, Darren opens fire, blasting on Minchin with both guns. Apparently his aim is no good, and the monster evades the
shots. In this panel we can see a bit more clearly some Minchin features - a blackened rat tail, and that he has six crow wings on his back.)
DARREN GUNS: KRAK KRAK KRAK
4.)
(Darren's guns have fallen silent for lack of a target, no Minchin in sight. Jack is picking himself up off the ground.)
DARREN: Shiiit... Where is-
5.)
(Suddenly, Minchin's limbs are popping out of the ground at impossible angles,
one gloved hand gripping Jack's ankle, the other Darren's. The lads are shocked.)
6.)
(Jack bares his fangs as his eyes flow with blood once again.)
7.)
(For the first time, Darren joins Jack in the prestigious Eyebleed Club.)
DARREN: Agh! Step off, clown!
8.)
(Darren's feet. We see he is pointing his guns at the gloved hand that grips
his right ankle. Minchin's fingertips are no longer torn open for claws.)
DARREN: Yeah just hold still...
9.)
(The hand lets go of his foot and we see blood coming out of both of this sentence's nouns.)
DARREN'S GUN: KRAK
10.)
(Darren still has blood coming out of his eyes, but now rocks a look of angry triumph.)
DARREN: How you like that shit?!
11.)
(Darren falls back with blood trailing from the GSW in his foot, his face a bit monstered out
from the sudden blood loss. Minchin's hand creeps away with its newly minted bullet stigmata.)
DARREN: ohhh that hurt
12.)
(Jack's face is shadowy, his irises gone white, his needly Sombreta fangs revealed as he snarls.)
JACK: Alright-
13.)
(Jack's dark clawed hand reaches for Minchin's left hand, which is still gripping him.)
14.)
(Jack squeezes his bloody eyes shut, straining to lift something...)
JACK: -get-
15.)
(Jack has Minchin by the left arm and is pulling him out of the ground!)
JACK: -OFFA ME!
16.)
(...only to have the monster get a grip on him again, ending the comic in the same position where it began.)
MINCHIN: Thanks for the boost, pal! |
