Evil Inc: Nov. 12, 2024 and Nov. 14, 2024
Panel 1:
Narration box: Meanwhile…
TV news anchor: We have an update from Hana Takahashi, reporting from downtown.
Panel 2:
Hana Takahashi: I’m told this gang of villains-turned-heroes have been alerted to a gigantic monster lumbering towards the heart of the city. It’s toppling every building in its path.
Panel 3:
Hana Takahashi: Upon hearing this, Night Mayor turned to his teammates and said… “All right, gang, time to move out.”
Panel 4:
TV news anchor: Does this mean we can expect these new heroes to swing into action?
Hana Takahashi: I’m… not sure…
All of the assembled superheroes are accessing familiar real-estate apps on their smartphones in an attempt to sell their houses before the monster destroys them.
Panel 5:
Night Mayor: We’re not superheroes! We’ve got no hope of defeating that monster!
Crimson Ghost: It’s times like these that superheroes are born!
Glue Trap: heh. I saw you and Malocchio working on that in the alley.
Jeremy: Malocchio! Will your curse work on that thing?
Malocchio: Yes. But my power relies on eye contact.
Faux Fox: Quick! Someone get Malocchio a turtleneck sweater!
Hana Takahashi (reporter): No, you idiot. She means… someone needs to fly her up to the creature’s face.
Panel 6:
Crimson Ghost: M’lady… your carriage awaits.
Malocchio: Isn’t there anything less… him?!
Panel 7:
Crimson Ghost (as he flies Malocchio towards the monster): It’s OK to be scared, but if we pull this off… the post-thwart adrenaline is gonna make that purse-snatching feel like a case of the hiccups.
Malocchio: That’s exactly what I’m afraid of!
Panel 8:
Crimson Ghost: Sooner or later, you’re gonna hafta admit you like me.
Malocchio: You’re gonna need a lot more monsters.
