Chapter 16 | Page 2b: Advance notice

Catnip is miffed that she’s going to lose her commission due to Cassie Cruz’s new policy. To make matters worse, the superheroes seem to have had advance notice on a number of Evil Inc schemes. Evil Inc has a mole. But who…?

Evil Inc – January 30, 2025
by Brad J. Guigar

Panel 1:
(Setting: The Evil Inc breakroom where several villains are gathered. Catnip, a blonde woman in a blue catsuit, stands with her hands on her hips. Miss Match, a red-haired woman in red and orange, is making coffee; Lightning Lady, a blonde in a blue costume; Desdemona, a red-skinned woman in a black and red outfit; Giant Tess, a woman in a green and orange suit; and Count Spurlock, a green-skinned man in a vest.)

Catnip: "Think about it! To be inside the building, Captain Heroic had to know about the Mime’s plans in advance!"

Lightning Lady: "That’s odd. When Dreadshade cracked the safe at Fairmount Bank, he got glitter-bombed!"

Count Spurlock: "I saw. The guy looked like he went down on Shirley Eaton.*"

Caption (bottom): "*You’ve got Google. Look it up."

Panel 2:
Catnip: "And don’t forget what happened when Dr. Patchwork heisted that shipment of arms…"

(Dr. Patchwork stands in front of a group of zombie henchmen with no arms. He opens a crate of weapons.)

Dr. Patchwork: "Damn it! These are just guns!"

Panel 3:
(Catnip raises a finger, looking serious.)

Catnip: "Face it. Someone is leaking information about our clients’ schemes to the superheroes."

Panel 4:
(A flashback scene shows Cassie Cruz, a brunette in glasses and a white blouse, packing up her office at the “Silver Agency,” a superhero placement agency that is now closed.)

Narration box: "And it’s been happening ever since 'Little Miss Silver Agency' took over."

Panel 5:
(Catnip clenches her fist, her expression determined.)

Catnip: "The answer is clear… WE NEED TO GET RID OF CASSIE CRUZ."

Oh... and this is Shirley Eaton.

Hey Comics — Kids! S02E37: Captain America Civil War

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoBe sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids ) The boys have seen a trailer for the upcoming Captain America Civil War movie, and boy do they have thoughts to share! We know the movie is still a long ways off, but we can’t help discussing it. Those new LEGO sets based on the movie aren’t helping matters any, either.

About Captain America Civil War

The next installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (number 13!) is also a tie-in to one of the comics’ most popular storylines – Civil War. In the Marvel comics version of the Civil War, superheroes are forced to choose whether to sign the Superhero Registration Act — which will, among other things, make their secret identities a matter of record. This splits the superhero community down the middle, with some eagerly signing up while others desperately resist. Significantly, Captain America (anti-Registration) dies in the comics version of the story. This one is bound to have a metric-ton of heroes — and villains — duking it out. It’s bound to be an instant classic. Captain America Civil WarCaptain America Civil WarSupport us on Patreon — the money will be given to the boys to encourage their creative efforts.
