Chapter 16 | Page 17b: Taken down… literally

 


The nomination round for the ’Ringo Awards ends in a few days, if you haven't nominated Evil Inc for Best Humor Webcomic — and Alex Heberling for best colorist — I would greatly appreciate your consideration!

Transcript

Panel 1:

A woman in a green outfit (Lethal Librarian) stands with her fist clenched. Around her, books are flying through the air. A minotaur wearing green plaid boxers (Angus) recoils in terror.
Cassie Cruz: “What’s happening?!”
Jeremy:
“Lethal Librarian has two main attacks — Check-in and Check-out! — This looks like the former. Using Check-in, she can convey his essence into the world created by any book.”

Panel 2:
A woman with blonde hair and a blue and yellow superhero outfit (Lightning Lady) shouts angrily, face in close-up.
Lightning Lady: “NO! You’ve got the wrong man!”

Panel 3:
Lightning Lady is confronted by Lethal Librarian, who points accusingly.
Lethal Librarian: “How can you defend him?! You caught him cheating on you!”

Panel 4:
Lightning Lady: “Angus is the most honest, loyal, trustworthy man I know.”

Panel 5:
Angus is sucked into a glowing red book titled “Death in the Afternoon,” his body disappearing as red light surrounds him.

Panel 6:
The book now lies closed and giant-sized on the floor, with “Death in the Afternoon – Ernest Hemingway” on the spine. Lethal Librarian and Lightning Lady look on.
Lethal Librarian: “Now he’s a doorstop.”

Evil Atom’s origins

Fair warning: If you want to know the whole story to Evil Atom’s origins, along with some information on the origins of Evil Inc and some background information about Evil Atom’s relationship with Catspaw, you’d better subscribe to the newsletter by Tuesday night.

I’m planning on spilling all of that stuff as an exclusive to newsletter subscribers on Wednesday.
