Here’s your early access to the full-page version of next week’s Evil Inc comics. Cassie Cruz’s Silver Agency was tasked with keeping the city safe while the superheroes of Justice Ltd were away on a mission. Made up of D-List villains and one hasbeen hero, no one had high hopes of success. But on their first night patrolling the city, they actually stopped a crime!
Now that the accolades are being handed out, the star of the night is nowhere to be found.
Panel 1
(Caption: Later…)
Reporter: I’m here with Night Mayor, who was part of tonight’s heroism.
Panel 2
Reporter: Mister “Mayor,” weren’t you holding the city comptroller hostage a few weeks ago?
Night Mayor: Yeah, turns out… nobody knows what a comptroller does… so the only ransom I got was a handful of gift certificates to Blockbuster video rental.
Panel 3
Night Mayor: By the way, how do I get my reward for tonight? Is there some sorta form I gotta fill out, or—
Reporter: Reward?!
Panel 4
Night Mayor: If anybody deserves a reward for tonight, it’s Malocchio!
Reporter: And you are?
Jeremy Veebles: Jeremy Veebles, corporate liaison.
Panel 5
Jeremy Veebles: You should be interviewing her! She’s right over—
Jeremy Veebles: Where’d she go?!
Panel 6
Jeremy Veebles (thinking): “Heh-heh. She probably saw another criminal and has him in her clutches as we speak!”
Panel 7
[Caption]: Meanwhile, in an alley nearby…
(Malocchio, wearing a striped dress and boots, passionately kisses Crimson Ghost, a bald superhero with a cape, against a brick wall. Crimson Ghost wraps his arms around her waist.)
Panel 8
Malocchio: Omigod! I don’t know what came over me.
Crimson Ghost: Don’t sweat it, kid. Post-thwart adrenaline is pretty common.
Panel 9
(Crimson Ghost reminisces, illustrated in a thought bubble.)
Crimson Ghost: “I remember when I defeated the Marxman. I was so charged up, I came home and —”
Panel 10
Malocchio (blushing): I think I wanna kiss you again.
Crimson Ghost (laughing): Heh. My lips don’t know their own strength!
Panel 11
(Malocchio and Crimson Ghost stand closely, her arms around his neck.)
Malocchio: That… and it’s better than listening to you talk.
Here’s your early access to next Tuesday’s Evil Inc comic.
NOTE: I forgot to post the comics for Oct. 10, so I’m adding them to this post!
Here’s your early access to next week’s Evil Inc comic!

Tonight, they face their first challenge as a team…
Panel 1:
Narration: “Presently, Cassie’s team patrols the city.”
Crimson Ghost: “Look alive, team.”
Malocchio (to Crimson Ghost): “You first, geezer.”
Cassie Cruz, texting to her assistant, Jeremy: “How’s it going so far?”
Jeremy texts back: “So far, so good.”
Panel 2:
Faux Fox: “Wait! Listen!”
Voice, off-panel: “STOP! THIEF!”
Panel 3:
Night Mayor (casting magic): “Leave this to the Night Mayor. I’ll just conjure a creature from the bad dreams of someone sleeping nearby…”
Panel 4:
Dream woman appears: “Bruce? Bruce… come to bed. I want to play ‘Farm Girl and the Traveling Salesman!'”
Panel 5:
Faux Fox (to Night Mayor): “That’s a nightmare??”
Night Mayor (thinking): “I think Bruce is working through some things…”
Panel 6:
Purse snatcher is running away.
From off-panel: “The purse-snatcher is getting away!”
Panel 7:
Malocchio: “Don’t worry. I’ve got my eye on him.”

Panel 8:
(A piano falls into the purse snatcher)
Sound effect: “K’TANG”
Panel 9:
Faux Fox (returning purse to a woman): “Here’s your purse, miss…”
Woman (kissing Faux Fox): “Thank you so much!”
Sound effect: “Smooch”
Panel 10:
Malocchio (excited): “I… I did a heroic quip! I’ve always wanted to do a heroic quip!”
Crimson Ghost: “Not bad for your first time.”
Purse snatcher (from under the piano): “Ouch.”
Night Mayor (to the woman): “I slowed him down! But I didn’t do it for the kisses. …Unless you feel so moved…”
Glue Trap: “Heh. ‘Got your eye on him!’ I get it!”
Ms. Cruz (texting Jeremy): “They stopped a crime?!
Jeremy (replies): “They… they’re heroes!”
