Transcript

Panel 1

The Evil Inc supervillains gather in Giant Tess' office.

Giant Tess: "We must prove to Dr. Whoosh that this branch is too important to close."

Lightning Lady: "Let's pair off and see who can come up with the best scheme."

Iron Dragon: "Yeah! We'll meet here in an hour to determine the best one."

Count Spurlock: "It's exhilarating to see this branch come together to fight a common foe!"

Miss Match: "I'll see if Muskiday has anything in his lab."

Panel 2

The scene shifts to show Iron Dragon sidling up to Desdemonda, circling his arms around her waist. Desi eyes him suspiciously.

Iron Dragon: "You heard what Spurlock said: we need to come together. After that, we can work on a scheme to save the office."

Panel 3

Desi, reaching for Catnip: "No thanks. I'm working with Catnip!"

Catnip (surprised): "Huh?!"

Panel 4

Iron Dragon stands between two women, looking nervous. Desi is glaring at him.

Desdemona: "Why don't you team up with your new friend? After that, you can work on a scheme to save our relationship."

Spider-man and the Secret Wars


Writer Paul Tobin and artist Patrick Scherberger, the creative team that brought us Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil, is gathering once more for Spider-Man and the Secret Wars.

[Newsarama]: …Marvel Comics announced the launch of a new limited series in December focusing on Spider-Man’s adventures during the original Secret Wars crossover …Their new project boasts several untold Spider-Man tales during his time spent kidnapped by the Beyonder alongside a bevy of heroes and villains. Readers can expect to see stories like: Spider-Man, The Thing, and Dr. Doom defending the city of Denver from scores of flesh eating aliens; Spider-Man and The Enchantress versus Galactus, and more.

As you might remember, I was an early fan of Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil — even though I was disappointed in the way it ended.

But they have had a good track record and most of the Doom miniseries was very well done, so I’m actually getting excited over this new series.

Besides, it’s an excellent hook. Tremendous art.

Just write a good ending and nobody gets hurt. 🙂
