Well, I suppose listing the point values is something, but not great.

Eye in the crosshair from here, maybe with the shot too? Or a later scene when he tries to go for Schlock's eyes?

Hm, I like that first one. I think two of the panels would work together nicely, the one where it locks on, and the other where the eye explodes (assuming that isn't too graphic).

[up] I think it'll be fine, and I agree that the sighting and shooting panels will be sufficient.

Here's some photos of eye gouges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Uh... I tought that the pic was overlapping with Boom, Headshot! until I realized that that dude's whole head is suppesed to be an eye... Not a good thing I guess. How about something classic, like Ulysses Vs the Cyclop?

You'd have to shoot him in the ass to get the proper Boom, Headshot! effect.

Yep, that cyclops pic is a great illustration. Definitely emphasizes eye-as-a-target better than the other suggestions—the eye-head guy blurs it with Boom, Headshot! and the gougey ones are a little on the Eye Scream-y side.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Of course, the problem with the Schlock Mercenary example above is that it's a subversion of the trope. Uniocs keep their brain in their torso, so all shooting Ebby's eye out did was blind him, cause him extreme pain, and anger him. He just wanted Schlock to point him at the enemy.

[up] ...which makes the Cyclops pic an even better pic for the page.

Cyclops wasn't killed by that log either, they had to hide and run away.
So that is not the point of advantage [lol]

My concern is how obvious it is that the dude with the giant stake is really going for the eye, and not just trying to stab his head or something.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

[up]That's painfully obviuos, I'd say.

I don't really see how it could be any more obvious, honestly, without drawing a crosshairs or a "WEAK POINT HERE" with an arrow.

One or two more yeas for the Cyclops pic and we can run with it.

Well, since this has lagged, I went ahead and put up the pic, with a caption that links to The Odyssey. Locking up.
