[IMAGE 1 ID: Page 1 of a 4-page Project Hail Mary comic. The entire comic features lyrics from the song “I Won’t Quit on You” by Hayley Williams. This page has 3 panels. Panel 1 shows Grace in his red EVA suit, floating in space. There’s a safety tether attached to him. Panel 2 shows Grace with his face in his hands, after he finds out that he’s being sent into space. Panel 3 is a view of the beach on Erid. The lyrics “lonely astronaut / it’s gonna cost / but you just can’t beat that view” are scattered all over the page. The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s suit. The safety tether from Panel 1 extends into a long red thread that goes down to the bottom of the page, connecting to Page 2. END ID]

[IMAGE 2 ID: Page 2 of the comic. It has 3 panels. Panel 1 is Grace before he wakes up from his coma, the zipper of his bodysuit partially open to show half his face. Panel 2 is Grace’s hand on the ship’s window, showing outer space. Panel 3 is Rocky’s claws holding onto the small xenonite Grace figure. The lyrics are “wasted like a god / power off / wake up somewhere new / now I’m an alien to you.” The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s overall in Panel 2. The red thread from Page 1 continues in this page, and connects to Page 3. END ID]

[IMAGE 3 ID: Page 3 of the comic. It has 3 panels. Panel 1 shows the Hail Mary in Adrian’s atmosphere. Panel 2 is Grace’s face smashed against the screen on the control panel, bleeding from the impact. Panel 3 is Rocky emitting black smoke, from when he’s trying to save Grace. The black smoke goes beyond the panel, giving a suffocating feeling. The lyrics are “come hell or heaven / angels or devils / I won’t move.” The page is mostly grayscale except for the bright red of Grace’s blood and suit in Panel 2, and the red background of Panel 3. The red thread from Page 2 continues in this page and loops twice, and connects to Page 4. END ID]
