Last week, the superheroes of Justice Ltd were sent on an interplanetary rescue mission.
This week, Cassie chooses her team to guard Fairmount City in their absence.
Transcript
Panel 1:
Cassie Cruz ays, “Listen up, you five are gonna be in charge of patrolling the city tonight while Justice Ltd is out of town.”
Panel 2:
A series of character introductions:
-
Crimson Ghost (a superhero): “Can turn invisible and/or intangible. Former partner of Commander Heroic. Squandered retirement savings on Thomas Kinkaid paintings.”
-
Malocchio (her hair covers her right eye): “Anyone who gazes into her evil eye will face bad luck. Also, her eye is really gross — all weepy and swollen. She had an eye doctor look at it once. An anvil dropped on his head.”
-
Night Mayor (a short man in a top hat): “Conjures and commands creatures from the dreams of civilians sleeping nearby. The bad ones. Sorry. The bad dreams. Not the bad people.”
-
Glue Trap (a blob-like figure): “Skin secretes an ultra-sticky substance. Also… kinda clingy in a relationship, but that has nothing to do with his powers. Has an eye for Malocchio. But she prefers the one she has.”
Cassie Cruz asks, “Think you can handle that?”
Panel 3:
Crimson Ghost exclaims, “US?! These are all D-list hoodlums!”
Malocchio retorts dismissively, “Pffft! This guy is so old he belongs on the endangered list!”
Panel 4:
Night Mayor looks puzzled and says, “Um… there’s only four of us.”
From off-panel a voice responds, “Never fear, mademoiselle…”
Panel 5:
Faux Fox (a fox-like figure) appears, holding a fake head: “Faux Fox is here!”
Narration: “Master of disguise. And a fox.”
Panel 6:
Cassie says, “Great. Now where’s Jeremy?”
Another voice from off-panel weakly squeaks, “H-help m-meeee…”
Panel 7:
Cassie (gesturing up to Jeremy, who is stuck to Glue Trap’s back): “Jeremy! Get down from there! I need you to coordinate from the office!”
Jeremy: “I can’t! I’m stuck!”
Panel 8:
Cassie (looking up at Jeremy): “How can we get you off?!”
Jeremy (hands raised in frustration, covered in goo): “Vegetable oil — and lots of it!”
Panel 9:
Cassie: “No, I mean… How can we get you unstuck?”
Jeremy: “That’s what I’m trying to tell you! Vegetable oil will break up the adhesive.”
Panel 10:
Glue Trap: “There’s only one problem: If you do that, it will take my body a few days to secrete a new layer of goo.”
Panel 11:
Cassie: “Ok… I’ll coordinate. You take everything in and call me with details.”
Cassie sticks a mobile phone next to Jeremy on Glue Trap’s back.
Panel 12:
Jeremy (flustered): “How am I supposed to take anything in from the rear?!”
Panel 13:
Cassie (calm): “Just relax… Take deep breaths. I know you can adjust to this new position…”
Glue Trap, over his shoulder: “Do you two even hear yourselves?!”
