They say all you need is love… but nobody ever said it had to be part of a company-wide initiative approved by Dr. Muskiday.
After yesterday’s emotional-cloud chaos, Dr. Muskiday has a solution — and let’s just say it’s less “scientific breakthrough” and more “HR nightmare waiting to happen.”
According to Muskiday, the only way to overpower the micronanos is to flood them with a stronger emotion than anger.
And that emotion is…
LOVE.
Dr. Muskiday is doing his absolute best to frame this as a team-building exercise.
With benefits.
Iron Dragon is on board — and he came prepared. (And he's prepared to come.)
But will the gang go along with it?

A wide, single-panel comic labeled “The next morning…” shows a group of supervillains gathered in an office area at Evil Inc. Several characters have floating pink “emotion clouds” above their heads—visual representations of their feelings caused by Dr. Muskiday’s Project SMILE.
On the far left, Lightning Lady (a blonde woman in a blue-and-yellow costume) gestures in frustration, saying she expected the clouds to dissipate. Next to her, a curvy woman in a tight black catsuit — Catnip — leans forward, explaining that Dr. Muskiday has a solution that won’t be popular.
Cassie Cruz (a confident woman in a business outfit) stands near the center, explaining that they need to “flood the micronanos with emotions.” Around him, multiple characters display different emotional clouds—confusion (question marks), anger (red symbols), and even a skull icon—hovering above their heads.
Giant Tess, the superhuman resources manager, responds angrily that she’s already full of rage. Dr. Muskiday’s holographic assistant counters by declaring that love is a more powerful emotion, with the word “LOVE” appearing large and bold in the panel.
Iron Dragon tries to convince the group that this should be viewed as a “team-building exercise… with benefits.” In his arms is a box containing lube, lace and assorted sex toys.
Green Lantern Corps 8
Well. It’s official. I’m an old man.
I’m a huge Green Lantern fan, and when I saw the launch of the Green Lantern Corps monthly title, it was a sight-unseen lock on my pull list.
It had a respectable start, but has been getting darker and darker.
Finally, with #7, it just started getting to be too much. With #8, I was convinced. The violence has gotten downright — oh man, I’m gonna say it —
gratuitous.
Excuse me. A liver spot just popped up on my forearm.I mean. Geez! Can we take a look at GLC#8 for a couple seconds?
It starts out with the exploding heads and general corpse-mashing of three aliens. And since they’re evil and non-human-looking, it’s fairly easy to get past.
Why is everyone driving so fast?Then we get to the R’amey Holl, a beautiful butterfly-like alien who is introduced in #7.
There are sparks between her and Guy Gardner — she lays a serious lip-lock on him about six pages in. She’s drawn to be very sexy — with serious attention paid to her secondary-sex characteristics — and she’s written with a very definite sweetness.
Excuse me. Time for my Geritol.
I should have seen it coming. Sure enough. by the end of the issue, she gets eviscerated by a terrifying alien baddie. But not before one last big push on those sex buttons. Check out the scan to the right… she’s grasped by the alien and the “camera” goes right to her ribs so the main focus is on her breasts — accentuated by a uniform that just
happens to accentuate her nipples.
And then… “Spluuutch.”
I remember when this was all farms.Before you take a quick look at Lightning Lady and cry “hypocrate”, let me say this: I like sex. I think sexy comics are just dandy. I have no problem whatsoever with amping up the sex in this sort of comic — especially if it adds a meaningful layer to the storytelling.
And, of course, I understand that violence is going to be a staple in an action comic. I could do with a little less blood and a great deal less time spent on what look to be medical illustrations of organs and innards, but I’m willing to put up with a little bit of that, too, if it’s in the name of a good story.
Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!But, I have to say… it makes me really, really uncomfortable to see sex and violence amped up to such high degrees and presented so close to each other. One panel is breasts and the next is guts.
That’s not good storytelling. It’s a cheat.
Why is everyone driving so fast?Okay. I get it. She’s a butterfly-alien. She’s probably going to come out of a coccoon in #9 and save Gardner. And I’m certain that that kiss was more than a kiss. Gardner may very well be gestating the coccoon himself. I know she’s not
really dead. But still… those images are still burned into my head — and I’d just as soon they weren’t.
I think I need a nap.
