Invaders Must Die

We are the Prodigy.

I started with a simple script:
Panel 1: "Attention American City. We are the Lone Wolves."
Panel 2: "We have come to crush all challengers, drive them before us, and hear the lamentations of your women."
Panel 3: "We might take exception to that."

So, first try. Problems: Flame Hammer looks like a total chode. Pannel 2 is boring, and I didn't even feel like trying to squeeze a close-up into panel 3. The Red Legion are crowded into the corner. Taki the cyber samurai is too far to the side and the pose is wrong. Atomic Lincoln is only about 40%. And I'm not entirely happy with Tease. Mainly that she's too far back; she's in charge, she needs to be up close in the front of the panel. There's too much white space around Tease; this is supposed to be a big hero team, they need to be packed into the panel.


Second try:
Flame Hammer looks more diabolical and more dynamic in panel 2. I ditched panel 3 altogether. Tease is more forefront, Atomic Lincoln looks ready to rumble, Terrier and Taki are filling up the lower right side better. I changed the panel distribution as well and gave a lot more room to the heroes.
