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?

Detailed Alt Text
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.
New Avengers #28
Brian Bendis has revealed the final member of the New Avengers line-up: Spider-Man.

WHAT BRIAN BENDIS SAYS: “Spider-Man – the man who made the biggest boner move of 2006 [laughs]…. He has a lot to answer for.
“There is a lot going on with Spider-Man post-Civil War, not much of which I can discuss, because it will be happening in his own books. But everything that is happening in his books – which is major, major stuff – will be reflected in New Avengers, and the extra added bonus you get in our book is you get to see the rest of the Marvel Universe reacting to him.
“There is nothing better in the whole history of literary fiction than a guilt-ridden Peter Parker, and we have the ‘King Kong’ of guilt-ridden Peter Parker’s now, on this team, trying to make amends for all the damage that was done and all the damage he did in outing himself and dealing with the disastrous implications of what happened since.�
Q: So Leinil Yu will be drawing him in the Black suit, at least to start?
“Yes. He is in the Black suit. Everything that happens in New Avengers mirrors what happens in the Spider-Man books, will be reflected on, and readers will get to see new angles on it.�

whole story.So, for those of you scoring at home (lucky devils!), the new lineup is: Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Ronin, Echo, and Spider-Man. Dang. That is one intriguing lineup. I guess I’m adding another title to my pull list, aren’t I?
