To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

Cover of I JUST CAME FROM HELL. It shows a pregnant Jes holding her belly in front of a negative tree. A pair of bloody hands reach out to grab her.

Page 1
Five Panels

1 - EXT. Wide shot. The entrance to Cebe’s Hand, a wild swampland in the Florida Panhandle. While not as wild as being inside Cebe’s Hand will be. There is still tons of foliage and greenery around. A deer drinks from a nearby bed of water. An alligator lies in wait.

JES (Off-Panel): June 6th, 2017.

JES (OP): Lisa Leung arrived in Devil’s Garden, Florida with her now deceased fiancé, Jonathan Johnson, to visit his estranged parents, William & Mary, also now deceased.

2 - The Alligator slowly and quietly swims up towards the deer, who unknowingly continues to drink.

JES (OP): What was supposed to be a day of reconciliation transformed into a night of horrors.

3 - Suddenly, the deer jerks its head up from drinking.

SFX: shf shf

JES (OP) A night where only Lisa would survive.

4 - …and darts away before the Alligator can strike.

JES (OP): Supposedly, a church fire would claim 33 souls that night. Their bodies have never been found.

JES (OP): But that doesn’t explain what happened next.

5 - Lisa, the noise that alerted the deer, walks down a dirt road, naked and bloodsoaked.

JES (OP): The following morning, as the sun’s light broke over the horizon…

JES (OP): …Lisa was seen stumbling, naked and bloodsoaked, down an old dirt road that leads from Cebe’s Hand, a tangled web of swampland that stretches across the Florida panhandle.

Page 2
Seven Panels

1 - Sheridan Porter, a white man in his late 50s with leather tan skin, drives a middle of the road pick up truck. Not new, but not a beater either. It’s well maintained despite its age. He had a quizzical look on his face as he tries to make sense of this figure he sees ahead.

JES (OP): Sheridan Porter, a Good Samaritan, who happened to be driving to his favorite fishing spot, was the first to find her.

2 - Wide shot of the truck pulling over as it nears Lisa.

JES (OP): When he noticed the state Lisa was in, he pulled to the side of the road to help.

3 - Sheridan exits his truck as Lisa passes him by.

JES (OP): As Sheridan approached, he could hear her talking to herself.

LISA (to herself): I don’t know. I don’t know. I took a leap of faith…

4 - Sheridan approaches Lisa who does not notice him at all.

JES (OP): If this all wasn’t strange enough, Lisa didn’t even notice him.

JES (OP): It was like she was somewhere else. Lost in her own mind.

LISA (to herself): This isn’t right. It shouldn’t be possible, but you’re still here.

5 - Lisa collapses into Sherdian’s arms.

JES (OP): Sheridan stopped her and asked for her name and she immediately collapsed in his arms.

SHERIDAN: Ma’am, are you okay? What happened to you?

6 - She weakly looks up at him. We can see both of them in this panel.

JES (OP): She looked at him, finally realizing where she was, and quietly uttered a single sentence.

7 - Extreme close-up on Lisa’s exhausted, bloodsoaked face.

JES (OP): M-my name is Lisa Johnson, and…
