The Lethal Librarian has identified Angus the minotaur as the spy who has been leaking sensitive information to the superheroes, and she prepares for him a fate worse than death.
The nomination round for the ’Ringo Awards ends in a few days, if you haven’t nominated Evil Inc for Best Humor Webcomic — and Alex Heberling for best colorist — I would greatly appreciate your consideration!

“Lethal Librarian has two main attacks — Check-in and Check-out! — This looks like the former. Using Check-in, she can convey his essence into the world created by any book.”
