Episode #1: The Island
Pages 17 + 18

After some time, the Arachne Figment returns and finds Miranda standing ready to face her. Miranda equips the Crypt-iD Gear and inserts the Thunderbird disc. She declares that she's here to defeat Arachne, and then transforms, saying "Masque up."

Standby jingle for the Crypt-iD Gear: "Who. Am. I? Who. Am. I?"
Miranda scans her hand on the Gear: "Disclosed!"

Colour page! Crypt-iD is born. She wears a suit, largely black with purple accents. The mask has a bird theme, with a beak forming across the nose and zig-zagging points representing thunder. A thunderbird motif covers the chest. Transparent, sparking wings extend from her back.

Thunderbird disc transformation sound: "The wingbeat that shakes the sky! I am Thunderbird!!"

Episode #1: The Island
Pages 15 + 16

The young woman tears up and introduces herself as Miranda to the Thunderbird. The Thunderbird passes away as a heavy rain kicks in. Miranda wipes her tears, removes her jacket and backpack, and stands determined.

Miranda inspects the items dropped by the captain. She recognizes the technology as unusually advanced. Two of the mini discs have names - "Chupacabra" and "Nessie" - but the remaining discs appear to be blank. She ponders on the possibility that cryptids and myths are real after all. Suddenly, the Thunderbird's body begins to disintegrate and it "fills" the blank disc that Miranda is holding. Miranda affirms that the Thunderbird will fight beside her, and she prepares to read the manual for the equipment.

Page 14

The Thunderbird bursts open its wings one last time, creating a massive sonic boom that sends Arachne flying into the distance. It then collapses to the ground, its energy depleted. The young woman runs over in concern, thinking to herself "I've been looking for cryptids all my life. I finally find one and it's dying right in front of me... and it's all my fault."

The Thunderbird snaps Arachne's thread. She trades blows with the bird before her hand is struck by a thunderbolt. Taking another swipe, she tells the bird that it isn't "even a true Figment", just an "unrefined beast". She claims to be evolved, and then quickly leaps into the air out of sight.

Arachne is about to stab the young woman with one of her legs, but the Thunderbird gets in the way. Left with a huge hole in its chest, it stumbles before its eye suddenly flashes open, to the BA-DUM sound of a heartbeat.

Page 11

Dark clouds converge and there is a rumble of thunder. Arachne approaches the young woman and thanks her, stating that the fear she produces upon her death will provide "such exquisite fear". She attacks. There is a loud "SKREE!!!" sound, and the woman opens her eyes to see that the Thunderbird has returned and blocked Arachne's attack. The bird has Arachne's thread caught in its talons.

Episode #1: The Island
Pages 9 + 10

The spider woman introduces herself as Arachne, an emissary of the "Four Terrors". The captain looks at his dead men, and then sets down the briefcase and opens it. Inside is a set of devices, a manual, and a label stating "Property of Prospero Foundation".

The captain looks at the mini-discs inside the case. The names "Chupacabra" and "Nessie" can be made out. He chooses the Chupacabra disc and it electronically announces its name. The captain, looking confident, raises one of the devices and the disc and declares that Arachne has met her match. Before he can make his move, though, Arachne rushes over and kicks him, launching him right through a tree. The woman from the beginning of the episode has been watching the battle from the cover of a different tree, but her scream alerts Arachne, whose eyes suddenly turn in her direction.

Episode #1: The Island
Page 7 + 8

The creature deflects blasts from the weapons, then suddenly jumps down to earth with a crash. She is a slender woman with dark grey skin, with a prominent motif of spiders and webs. She appears with spider legs retracted into an abdomen that doubles as her "hair".

The spider woman stands up straight and we see she wears a mask. She has eight eyes, and carries a long thread. A soldier approaches her, his weapon charging up, but she deftly leaps backwards into the air. The soldier looks on horrified as the spider woman lunges toward him, slashing with the thread. Two more soldiers lose their cool and begin firing wildly, and the captain yells at them not to show fear, implying something bad will happen if they continue to do so. He then watches as the spider woman slices and stabs the remaining men.
