Aerial view of the battlefield in first pannel. Then we see James talking to Suikun, who tell him that there will be a chopper covering them pretty soon. Just one chopper wont make any effect on the battlefield, but then we learn that Alex and Anthony are flying on it.

Ok, I always found funny something about FPS's videogames. You by yourself can kill an entire army of armoured soldiers, very well trained and without problems. Then why wont a chopper make a huge effect by itself alone killing some little monsters in a battlefield? And also I wanted to introduce Alex Footpraft and Anthony "Tony" Riter in the comic.

Infinite ammo!

We see Alex piloting the chopper, he wears googles and is sorrounded by equipment and the cockpit computers. Then we see Tony with a Gatling machinegun. The Gatling machinegun fires and in the battlefield some monsters get hit by the bullets.

I always thought that those Gatling machineguns are so huge and, well, awesome looking, that they look like they were included with an infinite ammo cheat. It's also really cool when you have infinite ammo cheat in a FPS. The final pannel is an homage to those games too. Ammunition counter, Health indicator and the aiming cross. Introducing Alex and Tony to the comic, welcome guys!

Improvised serum!

Martin arrives to where Hazzard is waiting and mixes the lemons, the salt and the water to make improvised serum. Then he leaves to get some transport and get Hazzard to a hospital.

Yeah, you can make improvised serum if you mix lemon juice, salt and water. Well, short of improvised serum, something really similar to it. Of course, it's sci fi, you better don't go and make improvised serum when your friends are badly burn injured.

The calm before the storm

So James and Suikun argue about the measures to take in the already lost assault. This page is interesting, since Suikun is taking off his tie, because he is so under pressure he feels the tie is strangling his throat. There's so much black here to.

The storm beggins

Oh no, here we go.
The helicopter gets attacked by the Magma Monsters. This upcoming parts ar epretty much influenced by that awesome modern war movie is Black Hawk Down. If you haven't watched it, I recomend it, is really good.

The Magma hits the fan

Yes, it finally blows up the helicopter starts going to hell. Now here is pretty much influential of Black Hawk Down. One of the reasons why I love that movie so much it's because of the helicopters. Helicopters are my favourite vehicle actually, and it hurts me to see them been taken down.

Going down! Is going down!

That line, "Hold on there Tony!" always reminds me of 24. I think I named Tony one of my characters after that awesome TV series :P Who knows, this comic is also called Assault on section 24, and the codename of the helicopter is N24. Yepp, 24 is the most influential TV series of my life, and so it's demonstrated in this comic.

4 POV

Now this is pure Black Hawk Down influence. I loved that part of the movie when some characters saw the helicopter going down and crashing. It was a terrific moment, and was one of the most thrilling scenes I saw in a movie theatre. Now I made a comic featuring a helicopter going down with some characters seeing it, I feel happy and fullfilled.

Injured and smashed

As the helicopter has crashed, not Alex neither Tony are ok, they are pretty bad beaten. It's sad to have these characters suffering so much, but that's what happens when the s**t hits the fan, some people dies. Not in this case, they are half dead, unless the teams arrive quickly. Doing this in black and white simplifies the things a lot, I can't even imagine doing this in colour.

His first job for the Group

Commander Deimos is known for his previous role in "14:30". Here he is commander of the Army, at least in Washington. I had no idea how it worked, and actually have no idea of the military ranks. But I just wanted to keep it simplified, too difficult to explain in just a page of a little comic book. The building where the Army is placed is based on a building we have here in Spain, I just crossover everything XD like trying to keep Deimos in the shadows as if he is evil, but he is actually a nice guy.

Reminisence of Biohazzard

One of the greaest videogames of all time is "Resident evil" and it's sequels, especially the fourth one. That videogame features one of the best examples of evil corporations taking over the world with biological weapons. I bet it's influence from Alien, with the Weyland-Yutani evil corporation of course.
Here I introduce mine, Genetychs. Opossed to those other stories, Genetychs has little power compared to the Athena Group, and it will be a major character in the following comics that will be after this one. Fear Genetychs!

Silent one

Looks like here I decided to go a little bit more for the swearing than in previous comics. I don't like swearing so much, in fact, is an easy device when you have no idea of what to put in the screenplay (althought sometimes, swearing gets really funny :P). Here we enter in the final part of the comic, with those two big snakey monsters shooting deadly beams from the hole of the section.

F-18 1/2

Going back again to 24 so I can tell you my influences: If you know the series and had watched season 3 (the best one for me) you might remember that part where Jack summons two F-18 to destroy a helicopter which the bad guy of the show was going to use in order to escape. Since then I loved to have some air fighters in a comic, so here they are, ready to burst some monsters!

airplanes shooting

Oh yeah! How cool is to see some airplanes firing missiles? a lot cool, we all saw it in ID4, and that was the coolest thing airplanes did in the movie, fire missiles. The code Deimos gives is Bomb, Leta, Watio, Partner. I have no idea of military codes so I came up with my own one. It basically spells "BLWP" which is like "BLOW UP" without the vocals and without spaces. Pretty explanatory.

Missiles go...

I just loved to make this kind of shot.
And give James some dramatic light.
Will you see the explosion caused by those huge explosive devices? well, check next page.

Badaboom

Yeah, as that little dialogue square says, it wasn't a very spectacular Hollywood ending. Making explosions is a pain, and when you have only two colours to use, is worst. In my preivous comic, 14:30, the final explosion looked better, because of the colours. But here it looks like a bunch of trees. All after all, I keep making general views of the battlefield, I think it helps to get an idea of how messy the battle was, and where is all this happening.
Check the dialogue: Looks like Suikun is going to get his ass kicked out of his charge, check next page to see what will depart the future for him.

Commander in misschief

James throws up order like an asshole commander he sometimes is. First he fires Suikun, but then gives a couple of nicier commands. This gives the starter point for the next comic, when the Athena Group wants to close sealed Genetychs' labs and their mission goes to hell when a section of those labs breaks open and the monsters inside escape.
Another two pages more and the end comes!

Black for Blasted

The terrain after the battle is so smashed is full black. Yeah, I know, It's kinda sad to see that the remains of the battle are a few dragons in white and some smoky and smashed war machines.
Well, it's a low budget comic, sorry :P it's like trying make a 150 million bucks movie with just 150 bucks...I need to change this ambition complex I have.
Not over yet! One more page to see!

The remains of the day...

If I am something about TV series, is a big 24 fan. 24 is like the example of a great TV series. Takes place in an enclosed period of time, carachters are easy to identify and plots are twisted enough to be simple.
So here goes my tribute to them, showing several characters in different situations, saying that what the story is about is over but that a lot more will happen, a refference to the famous split screen (which turns the series itself into a kind of watchable comic) and of course, The ticking clock!
I made the clock to not look like the one of 24, but just similar. The WTF would have looked better if I would put it like this, W:T:F too late to make changes.
