The Number 17 — page 1 panel 1: The floodlit Kingsbridge Football Stadium looms under a night sky, the scoreboard a stark, digital wound. The home crowd's murmuring despair is almost palpable as the clock ticks past the hour mark.

64th minute. Kingsbridge FC 0, Rivals 2. A heavy silence descends.

The Number 17 — page 1 panel 2: On the Kingsbridge bench, Luca sits calmly amidst the tension. His eyes, though fixed on the distant field, betray a quiet intensity, a readiness that belies the team's current predicament.

On the bench, Luca Vale, Number 17, watches. Ready.

The Number 17 — page 1 panel 3: Coach Renard, a picture of barely contained frustration, spins around. His gaze locks onto Luca, a silent command passing between them. Javier, a teammate next to Luca, looks up, surprised by the coach's sudden call.

Coach Renard:Luca! Get ready!

Javier:Luca?

The Number 17 — page 1 panel 4: The Fourth Official raises the substitution board, glowing brightly against the stadium's darkness. The numbers '17 IN' flash prominently, causing a ripple of murmurs and gasps of surprise to spread through the sparse crowd.

A collective gasp from the stands. Number 17 is in.

The Number 17 — page 1 panel 5: Luca rises from the bench, his movements fluid and focused. He takes a deep breath, adjusting his jersey, his face a mask of resolute determination. Javier watches him go, a silent mix of hope and admiration on his face.

Luca Vale

My turn.

The Number 17 — page 1 panel 6: Luca walks towards the pitch, his back to the viewer, the name 'VALE' and number '17' emblazoned on his jersey. The stadium lights blaze behind him, casting a heroic silhouette as he steps onto the field, ready to change the game.

The game awaits. A new hope steps onto the pitch.
