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.

Palmiotti & Grey talk Joker

Palmiotti and Grey talk Joker

As predicted here, Joker is indeed taking center stage in DC’s Countdown series. ICN has an excellent interview with the two writers behind that series, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey.

[ICN] This week the Joker is making his presence known. By now you’ve probably seen the buttons that say “Jimmy Olsen Must Die”? Well, the cover to this week’s issue features the Joker holding some of Jimmy’s personal effects. We’ll let you figure things out from there – actually we’ll let you bite your nails until you see what happens tomorrow. Joining us this week are the dynamic duo responsible for Countdown #50 – Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Grey. The two took some time to answer our questions about the writing process, the Joker and what’s to come.

According to several previews, Joker makes his Big Move in Countdown #50, which hits stores today.
