In today’s Evil Inc, Yazmine Velour pitches a viral strategy built entirely on first-date tension — because nothing hooks an audience like awkward chemistry and unresolved feelings. Unfortunately for Captain Heroic, his real-life situation may be trending in a very different direction…

Transcript
Panel 1
Caption: “A little later…”
Captain Heroic: “I can’t believe we’re having this discussion!”
Panel 2
Yazmine Velour: “The video of you and the waitress did monster numbers! —but we need to come back with something big before we miss our moment!”
Panel 3
Yazmine (off-panel): “I was thinking about a public break-up scene…”
“—really torture your shippers!”
Panel 4
Captain Heroic: “Break up?? We’re not even dating!”
Panel 5
Yazmine: “I like the way you think! There’s no tension like first-date tension!”
Panel 6
Captain Heroic (thinking as he looks at his phone): “There isn’t? Try last-date tension.”
Phone text from Miss Match: “We need to talk.”
I gotta tell you, I’m just not feeling the new run of Suicide Squad. I’ve been through the first two issues, and I’m completely lukewarm. There’s a couple reasons. For starters, I’m getting thisclose to being over Amanda “The Wall” Waller. Really. She’s a great character, but she’s pretty much reached her stauration level in the DC universe.
And dialogue like “I’m fat, black, cranky, and menopausal! You do not want to mess with me!” doesn’t help. And neither do exchanges like:
“Payback’s a bitch.”
“That’s right. And I’m just the bitch to do it!”
Guh.
Also, I guess I got spoiled by Gail Simone’s work on
Villians United. That was the pinnacle series of super-villain team-up. And you know why — besides a very tight, little plot?
Gail took campy villains like Mad Hatter and made them A-list baddies. That’s what a villain team-up is all about. You don’t necessarily want Lex and the Joker (although I have to admit, I’m much more excited about the Injustice Society in the current JLA run these days). What you want is Cat Man, Deadshot, Venom, Ragdoll and a Paradaemon! You want a band of losers, griping their way through a take-charge plot.
So why don’t I like Modok’s 11?
I’ll get back to you on that.
