[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!
[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.
[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.
[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.
[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.
[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.
[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?
[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.
Super-Hero NewspaperThis sounds really cool. I’m going to have to look for a copy.

SILVER BULLET COMICS]
For those who ever wondered what a major metropolitan newspaper would be like if superheroes were the world, the answer is The Hero Street Press.
Authentic right down to the Associated Press style guides and printed in the traditional broadsheet size (13″ x 22″), the only indications that The Hero Street Press is anything other than a traditional newspaper are the fantastic stories.
“I want to cultivate a suspension of disbelief. A newspaper provides a perception-enhancing slice of world events,” Eric Miller, publisher, said. “The Hero Street Press does the same thing, except it’s a view of the type of world people fantasize about.”
The newspaper is fully interactive. The Opinions section has space for letters to the editor, where readers can complain or compliment the activity or superheroes or any other topic that strikes their interest. The Features section has a gossip columnist who digs up superhero dirt and an advice columnist who offers help for people struggling with super-issues in their personal and/or professional lives. Read more. Maybe Evil Inc needs to take out an ad… 🙂
