I can't really call it chapter one, as a typical manga chapter in my experience is at least 23 chapters.
Dark Horse has a slightly different method of scripting, than I'm I've noticed in some other places. Its not exactly more rigid, but the impression I got was that you need to use captions instead of word balloons.
Of coarse it won't effect this chapter much, as its dialogue light. Anywho, I hope it turns out ok:
PAGE ONE: (11 Panels) Nuclear Crator - AfterNoon
Panel 1. Weather Shot - A full silver moon riddled with crators is seen resting along a crimson sky.
Panel 2. Establishing Shot - A car flipped to its side is seen resting along the bed of a large crator. Outside the crator, the surrounding area is a burned forest.
Panel 3. Medium Shot - A crisper view of a man is seen with his seatbelt on, and in conked out cold.
Panel 4. Medium Wide - As his third eye takes over, he finds himself strapped to a surgeons table, and he can here six surgeons talking about him behind the door.
Panel 5. First Person View - Through his eyes - The surgeons are heard opening the door. The mans vision is blurred.
Panel 6. First Person View - Non Blurred - One of the surgeons are seen taking a scalpel to his forehead, and he is not under anesthesia. They are heard cackling while he is screaming, their faces are covered in black, except that their toothy grin is seen, as well as their eyes which are completely yellow, with a black slit like a lizards.
