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.

This Week in Villainy: Vapor and X-Ray

The Week in Villainy: April 8-14, 2007

Who’s Up and Who’s Thwarted

Vapor and X-Ray: This entry is a little overdue, but with the next issue of She-Hulk coming out next week, TWIV felt it imperitive to get this one out there.

Siblings Ann and Jimmy Darnell (Vapor and X-Ray, respectively) were the only two Hulk foes to escape the Hulkbusters stronghold on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier last month in She-Hulk #17.

[MARVEL] After spending days hunting down and capturing some of the Hulk’s toughest foes, She-Hulk and the Hulkbuster unit are returning to the SHIELD Helicarrier for some much-deserved rest. The new SHIELD director, in fact, is there in person to debrief them. However, not all of the foes they’ve rounded up are going to sit quietly in their cells.

Thanks to something called Project Achilles, every other Hulk baddie was neutralized– including Abomination, Wendigo, and the Darnell sibs’ other U-Foes teammates.

Writer Dan Slott took special care to make it clear that these two were the only two to escape. That’s a very good indication of Big Things planned for these two villains.

Another major movement of note in the same book was Zzzax, who was thwarted by a lame device on loan from a twenty-three-year-old movie.
