As the heated union negotiations reach binding arbitration, Cassie and Dr. Muskiday try to figure out how to eliminate those pesky emotion clouds. Unfortunately, in a supervillain office where nobody can agree on lunch, expecting a coordinated solution might be the most unrealistic plan of all.

Transcript

Panel 1:
Cassie Cruz: “Come on… we need to get back to the office and figure out how to get rid of these emotion clouds.”
Dr. Muskiday: “Aw. I was hoping we could stay for ‘binding arbitration.’”

Panel 2:
Cassie Cruz: “Wait a minute… my cloud is shrinking! Do you think they decided to try your orgy idea after all?!”

Panel 3:
Dr. Muskiday: “Impossible. This branch can’t agree on lunch. How do you expect them to sort out tops and bottoms??”

Three-panel comic set in an office hallway. Cassie Cruz, a curvy woman with short brown hair, red glasses, a white blazer, and a yellow top, stands with Dr. Muskiday, a short, humanoid fly creature in a lab coat. In panel one, Cassie urges returning to the office to fix “emotion clouds,” while Muskiday looks disappointed; a pink cloud floats nearby. In panel two, Cassie reacts in surprise as her emotion cloud visibly shrinks, speculating about coworkers acting on Muskiday’s suggestion. In panel three, she dismisses the idea, noting coworkers can’t agree on lunch, while Muskiday quips about them sorting out roles; the office background shows walls, a door, and a small table.

JLA Unlimited

Best Title in Comics: JLA Unlimited

I’ve been trying hard for the past several months not to post this next item, but I’m afraid it simply needs to be said.

JLA Unlimited is one of the top five monthly titles in comic stores today.

That’s right. That comic targeted to grade-schoolers. Better than New Avengers. Better than any of the X-titles. Better than Superman/Batman.

It’s on my reserve list because I get it for my four-year-old. Bedtime reading. Drives the wife nuts.

But… here’s the thing. It’s really, really good.

Every issue is a team-up involving different members of the Justice League — including obscure members such as the Crimson Avenger.

The stories? Nothing Earth-breaking. And thank goodness for that. With all of the multiverse/no-mulitverse/multiverse stuff going on in the DCU over the past couple years, Earth(s)breakingness is a matter of course these days.

But the stories are entertaining. Charming even. They clip right along and are clearly written from a heartfelt love of the history of DC comics.

And the art… The art is simply stunning. Simple, swift, strong linework. Solid composition. Good gosh, it’s a joy.

Check out the page from #33 featuring Stargirl. She’s absolutely gorgeous. And it’s not about Power-Girl-esque body dimensions. It’s about pose and posture and expression. It’s a higher level of illustration, people.

Stop wasting it on the kids, DC.
