Panel 1
(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)
Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!
Panel 2
(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!
Panel 3
(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.
Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?
Panel 4
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.
Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!
Panel 5
(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!
Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

Yesterday morning, on our drive to school, I told the boys that Sony Pictures was rumored to be in talks with Marvel Studios over
possibly selling Spider-Man movie rights to the House of M.
That kicked off a rollicking conversation that not even a raging case of hiccups (poor Max) could quell! Sure, having webhead — and his formidable rouges gallery — would be terrific. But does Marvel Studios really
need Spider-Man when they can produce deep-catalog hits like
Guardians of the Galaxy?!
Robert Downey Jr.
confirmed an
Iron Man 4 this week. And then
denied it. But we have it on good authority that
Avengers 3 (2018) will be his final appearance as Tony Stark / Iron Man no matter what.
Would Spider-Man rights help Marvel transition past “
Phase 3” of their cinematic universe?
Or should they build another franchise around someone like, say, Dr. Strange?
Could the Defenders replace the Avengers?!
And what does this mean for the Micronauts?!?
The mind boggles. Delightfully.
Oh! And, thanks to the
U.S. Army Blues Band, we now have theme music!
